What is VOLITE?

Overview of JUVIDERM VISTA® VOLIGHT XC

VOLITE is a hyaluronic acid formulation developed by Allergan, Inc. of the United States.Hyaluronic acid with characteristics that differ significantly from those of the conventional JUVITERM VISTA seriesThe first two are the following.

What is different?The main objective is to improve skin texturePoint.

In the past, hyaluronic acid injections have been associated with filling in wrinkles and puffing up lips. Borite, however, is different. It is a formulation designed to improve overall skin quality by moisturizing the skin from within and improving its firmness and elasticity.

Now, let us tell you in detail how Borite specifically improves the skin.

1. Highly concentrated hyaluronic acid: Borite contains a high concentration of hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid has the property of attracting moisture and delivers moisture deep into the skin.
2. Special cross-linking technology: Borite is manufactured using Allergan's proprietary VYCROSS® technology. This technology allows hyaluronic acid molecules to be moderately bound together, resulting in long-lasting effects.
3. Low viscosity formulation: Borite has a lower viscosity than other hyaluronic acid formulations. This allows it to spread naturally and produce an even effect after injection.
4. Promotes skin regeneration: Borite not only replenishes moisture, but also stimulates the activation of skin cells. This stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, thereby enhancing the skin's natural regenerative ability.

These features enable Borite to "improve overall skin texture," which has been difficult to achieve with conventional hyaluronic acid injections in the Jubiterm series.

Reliability of Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare approval

Borite is,Officially approved by the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare in December 2020.received.

As for "what does MHLW approval mean?"

1. Safety assurance: In order to obtain approval from the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, the product must pass a rigorous screening process. Borite has passed this examination, which means that its safety has been approved by a public agency.
2. Proof of Validity: The approval process also involves rigorous verification of the product's efficacy. How does Borite improve skin texture?Accepted based on scientific data.The first is the
3. Verification in Japanese: Clinical trial data on Japanese subjects are required for approval. In other words, Borite has been confirmed to be suitable for Japanese skin type and environment.
4. Establish proper usage: Upon approval, appropriate usage and precautions will also be established. This ensures that the procedure can be performed safely and effectively at a medical institution.

This approval by the Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare is a major proof that Borite is a reliable product.

Products from Allergan, the world's No. 1 market share provider

Allergan, the company that manufactures Borite,A company with a worldwide reputation in the field of cosmetic medicineIt is. Specifically, it has the following characteristics

1. Global Achievements: Allergan's hyaluronic acid products are,Used in more than 130 countries worldwideThis is evidence that its safety and effectiveness have been internationally recognized. This is evidence of its internationally recognized safety and effectiveness.

Borite Features

Borite has different characteristics from the conventional hyaluronic acid formulations in the JUVITERM VISTA series. Let's take a closer look at its characteristics.

Advantages of Cross-linked Hyaluronic Acid

Borite uses "cross-linked hyaluronic acid". What does this mean?

1. What is cross-linking?Hyaluronic acid is a chemical bonding technology that chemically bonds hyaluronic acid molecules to each other. This stabilizes the structure of hyaluronic acid and prolongs the effect.
2. Improved SustainabilityCross-linked hyaluronic acid is not easily degraded, resulting in long-lasting results.
3. Moderate viscosityCross-linking creates an appropriate viscosity in the hyaluronic acid. This makes it easier to maintain its shape after injection.
4. Enhanced moisture retentionHyaluronic acid is a natural moisturizer, and its cross-linking enhances hyaluronic acid's ability to retain moisture. This allows the skin to be more effectively moisturized.
5. Improved stabilityCross-linked hyaluronic acid is highly stable against changes in temperature and pH. Therefore, it continues to be effective in a variety of environments.

Thus, by using cross-linking technology, Borite provides long-term and stable effects.

Natural finish due to low viscosity formulation

One of the main characteristics of Borite is its low viscosity. What advantages does this bring?

1. Uniform spread: Because of its low viscosity,It spreads naturally in the skin after injection.This produces an even and uniform effect.
2. Natural finishBorite : High viscosity formulations may cause unnatural swelling at the injection site, but there is no such concern with Borite.
3. Pain relief: Low viscosity results in less pressure during injection and less pain.
4. Effect on the entire skin: Because it spreads widely and thinly, it is suitable for improving the overall texture of the skin.

These characteristics allow Borite to give the impression of "naturally beautiful skin" rather than the impression of having undergone a procedure.

Water retention that lasts for 9 months

Borite's water retention capacity is due to the following reasonsLasts more than 9 monthsIt is said to do so.

1. Special cross-linking technology: Borite uses Allergan's proprietary VYCROSS® technology. This technology binds hyaluronic acid molecules tightly together, significantly slowing the rate of degradation in the body.
2. Highly concentrated hyaluronic acid: Borite contains a high concentration of hyaluronic acid. Therefore, even if some of it is broken down, a sufficient amount of hyaluronic acid will remain in the skin.
3. Skin regeneration effect: Borite not only replenishes moisture, but also stimulates the activation of skin cells. This also improves the skin's own natural ability to retain moisture.
4. Deep penetration: As a low viscosity formulation, Borite penetrates evenly into the deeper layers of the skin. Therefore, not only superficial but also lasting improvement can be expected.
5. Gradual effect: Borite is not an abrupt change, but a gradual effect. This slow action leads to long-term effects.

I think this 9-month duration would be a great advantage.

• Frequent treatments are no longer necessary, thus reducing the time and financial burden.
• Long-term effects can be expected, making it easier to stabilize skin conditions.
• It will be easier to adapt to seasonal changes (e.g., if the treatment is done before summer, it will help prevent summer dryness).

However, we would also like to mention that there are individual differences. It means that the duration of the effect may vary depending on lifestyle and skin type.

Designed specifically for skin care treatment

What makes Borite significantly different from the other hyaluronic acid formulations in the Jubiterm Vista series is,Designed specifically for skin care."This is the reason why Jubiterm series hyaluronic acid is so popular. We will explain this feature in detail, comparing it with the conventional hyaluronic acid of the Jubiterm series.

1. Overall skin texture improvement:
   • Conventional hyaluronic acid: main purpose is to fill in specific areas (e.g., laugh lines).
   • Borite: The objective is to improve the overall texture of the skin.
2. Natural finish:
   • Conventional hyaluronic acid: partial volume enhancement sometimes gives an unnatural impression.
   • Borite: Provides a natural finish that seems to moisturize the entire skin from the inside out.
3. Various Applicable Areas:
   • Conventional hyaluronic acid: used primarily in specific areas of the face.
   • Borite: Can be used on the face as well as on the neck and other parts of the body.
4. Activation of skin function:
   • Conventional hyaluronic acid: primarily a physical replenishing effect.
   • Borite: Activates the function of the skin cells themselves and promotes long-term improvement of skin texture.
5. Combined effect:
   • Conventional hyaluronic acid: mainly specialized for wrinkle improvement and volume enhancement.
   • Borite: Improves multifaceted skin quality, including moisturizing, firmness, texture, and elasticity.

Because of these characteristics, we believe that this treatment is particularly recommended for the following people

• Those who are experiencing overall skin deterioration with age.
• Those who suffer from dry skin
• Those who feel that their makeup has become less effective.
• Those who desire natural rejuvenation.

Borite Effects

The following is a detailed description of the effects of borite.

Main effects

The main effects of borite are as follows

1. Improved skin hydration:
   • The high water-holding capacity of hyaluronic acid moisturizes the skin from within.
   • Improves fine lines and wrinkles and texture disorders caused by dryness.
2. Improvement of skin elasticity and firmness:
   • It promotes the production of collagen and elastin, bringing firmness and elasticity to the skin.
   • It restores skin elasticity, which tends to be lost with age.
3. Improvement of texture:
   • It improves skin surface fineness and leads to a smooth skin texture.
   • Reduces the appearance of pores.
4. Improvement of dull skin:
   • Activates skin metabolism and removes dead skin cells that cause dullness.
   • It brings brightness and clarity to the skin.
5. Reduction of fine lines and wrinkles:
   • By replenishing moisture from within the skin, it reduces the appearance of superficial fine lines and wrinkles.
   • It is especially effective for wrinkles in sensitive areas such as the eye and mouth area.
6. Skin tone improvement:
   • It helps even out uneven skin tones and leads to an even, healthy skin tone.
7. Improved makeup application:
   • Preparing the skin surface improves the adhesion of makeup.
   • Reduces unevenness and crumbling of foundation.
8. Long-term skin quality improvement:
   • With continuous use, it enhances the skin's natural functions and supports the creation of age-defying skin.

*These effects may vary depending on the individual's skin type, age, and lifestyle. In addition, the realization of effects varies from person to person. Usually, most people begin to feel changes within 2 to 4 weeks, but some people experience effects immediately after the treatment.

Mechanism of action (mechanism for improving water retention in skin)

This section details the mechanism of how Borite improves the water retention capacity of the skin.

1. Hyaluronic acid supplementation:
   • The high concentration of hyaluronic acid in Borite directly increases the skin's moisture content.
   • One gram of hyaluronic acid can hold up to 6 liters of water.
2. Mechanism of moisture retention:
   • The injected hyaluronic acid,It draws moisture from surrounding tissues.
   • This moisture stays inside the skin to provide a lasting moisturizing effect.
3. Strengthening of skin barrier function:
   • Hyaluronic acid also acts on the skin's surface to strengthen the barrier function.
   • This reduces moisture evaporation from the skin and prevents drying.
4. Improved intercellular matrix:
   • Hyaluronic acid improves skin structure by filling in the gaps between cells.
   • This improves the overall water retention capacity of the skin.
5. Promotes natural hyaluronic acid production:
   • External hyaluronic acid supplementation stimulates the skin's natural hyaluronic acid production.
   • In the long term, the skin's own water retention capacity may be improved.
6. effect of promoting blood circulation:
   • The injection of hyaluronic acid promotes local blood circulation.
   • Improved circulation increases the supply of nutrients and moisture to the skin.
7. Inflammation suppression:
   • Hyaluronic acid has mild anti-inflammatory properties.
   • Inflammation is reduced, the skin's barrier function is maintained, and moisture retention is preserved.
8. Slow and long-lasting effect:
   • Due to the special structure of Borite, hyaluronic acid is gradually broken down.
   • This gradual degradation process results in a long-lasting moisturizing effect.

These combined actions give us hope that Borite is not just a temporary moisturizer, but has the potential to improve the skin's fundamental ability to retain water.
