VOLITE's remarkable water-retention effect (Before/After)

This is one month after the VOLITE treatment. The patient has atopic dermatitis, which had caused redness and other problems on her shoulders.
Atopic dermatitis reduces the skin's ability to retain moisture, but improvement has been observed thanks to VOLITE's water-retaining action.

What is VOLITE?

Overview of Juvéderm Vista® VOLITE XC

VOLITE is a hyaluronic acid product developed by Allergan, Inc. of the United States.It is a hyaluronic acid with features that differ significantly from those of the conventional Juvéderm Vista series.It is such a product.

So what is different?Its main purpose is to improve skin quality..

In the past, hyaluronic acid injections were strongly associated with filling in wrinkles and plumping the lips. VOLITE, however, is different. It is a formulation designed to improve overall skin quality by delivering moisture from within the skin and improving its firmness and elasticity.

Now, let us explain in detail exactly how VOLITE improves the skin.

1. High-concentration hyaluronic acid: VOLITE contains a high concentration of hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid has the property of attracting moisture and delivers hydration deep into the skin.
2. Special cross-linking technology: VOLITE is manufactured using Allergan's proprietary VYCROSS® technology. This technology moderately bonds the hyaluronic acid molecules together, resulting in long-lasting effects.
3. Low-viscosity formulation: VOLITE is distinguished by its lower viscosity compared with other hyaluronic acid products. This allows it to spread naturally after injection and produce an even effect.
4. Promotes skin regeneration: VOLITE does not merely replenish moisture; it also stimulates the activation of skin cells. This promotes the production of collagen and elastin, enhancing the skin's natural regenerative ability.

Thanks to these features, VOLITE makes possible the "overall skin-quality improvement" that was difficult to achieve with the conventional Juvéderm-series hyaluronic acid injections.

The reliability of Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare approval

VOLITE isIt received official approval from the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare in December 2020.It has received this approval.

As for "what MHLW approval means," it carries the following significance.

1. Assurance of safety: To obtain approval from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, a product must pass a rigorous review. VOLITE has cleared this review, meaning its safety has been recognized by a public authority.
2. Proof of efficacy: The approval process also involves rigorous verification of the product's efficacy. VOLITE's skin-quality improvement effect isrecognized on the basis of scientific data.The first is that
3. Verified in Japanese patients: Approval requires data from clinical trials conducted in Japanese subjects. In other words, VOLITE has been confirmed to be suitable for Japanese skin types and environment.
4. Establishment of proper usage: Along with approval, appropriate usage and precautions are also defined. This ensures the procedure can be performed safely and effectively at a medical institution.

In this way, having received approval from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare is strong proof that VOLITE is a trustworthy product.

A product from Allergan, the world's No. 1 in market share

Allergan, the company that manufactures VOLITE, isa company held in high regard worldwide in the field of aesthetic medicine.Specifically, it has the following characteristics:

1. Global track record: Allergan's hyaluronic acid products areused in more than 130 countries worldwide.This is evidence that their safety and effectiveness are internationally recognized.
2. R&D capabilities: Allergan is consistently committed to developing cutting-edge technologies. VOLITE is one of the fruits of that effort, achieving effects that go beyond the limits of conventional hyaluronic acid products.
3. Quality control: Manufacturing products used around the world requires strict quality control. Allergan's products consistently maintain high quality.
4. A diverse product line: In addition to VOLITE, the company offers hyaluronic acid products for a variety of purposes. (The Juvéderm Vista series.)
5. Collaboration with healthcare professionals: Allergan works closely with physicians and researchers around the world. This allows the needs of actual clinical practice to be reflected in product development.

Features of VOLITE

VOLITE has features that differ from the conventional hyaluronic acid products in the Juvéderm Vista series. Let's take a closer look at those features.

The advantages of cross-linked hyaluronic acid

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

1. What is cross-linking?: This is a technology that chemically bonds hyaluronic acid molecules to one another. It stabilizes the structure of the hyaluronic acid and makes the effect last longer.
2. Improved longevity: Because cross-linked hyaluronic acid is not easily broken down, the results last a long time.
3. Moderate viscosity: Cross-linking gives the hyaluronic acid a moderate viscosity. This makes it easier to maintain its shape after injection.
4. Enhanced moisture retention: Cross-linking strengthens the hyaluronic acid's ability to hold moisture. This allows it to hydrate the skin more effectively.
5. Improved stability: Cross-linked hyaluronic acid is highly stable against changes in temperature and pH. As a result, it continues to be effective in a variety of conditions.

In this way, by using cross-linking technology, VOLITE delivers long-term, stable effects.

A natural finish thanks to the low-viscosity formulation

One of VOLITE's major features is its low viscosity. What advantages does this bring?

1. Even spreading: Because of its low viscosity,it spreads naturally within the skin after injection.This produces an even, uniform effect.
2. Natural finish: With high-viscosity products, the injection site can bulge unnaturally, but with VOLITE there is no such concern.
3. Reduced pain: Because of its low viscosity, less pressure is required during injection, making it less painful.
4. Effect on the skin as a whole: Because it spreads widely and thinly, it is well suited to improving the texture of the skin as a whole.

Thanks to these characteristics, VOLITE makes it possible to give the impression of "skin that has naturally become beautiful" rather than the impression of having had a procedure.

Water-holding capacity that lasts 9 months

VOLITE's water-holding capacity is, for the following reasons,said to last more than 9 months.It is said to do so.

1. Special cross-linking technology: VOLITE uses Allergan's proprietary VYCROSS® technology. This technology binds the hyaluronic acid molecules firmly together, greatly slowing the rate of breakdown within the body.
2. High-concentration hyaluronic acid: VOLITE contains a high concentration of hyaluronic acid. As a result, even if some of it breaks down, a sufficient amount of hyaluronic acid remains within the skin.
3. Skin regeneration effect: VOLITE does not merely replenish moisture; it 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, VOLITE penetrates evenly into the deeper layers of the skin. As a result, not just a surface effect but lasting improvement can be expected.
5. Gradual effect: VOLITE works gradually rather than producing an abrupt change. This slow action is what leads to long-term effects.

This 9-month duration is, we believe, a significant advantage.

• Because frequent treatments are no longer necessary, the burden on your time and budget is reduced.
• Because long-term effects can be expected, it becomes easier to keep the skin's condition stable.
• It becomes easier to adapt to seasonal changes (for example, having the treatment before summer can help protect against summer dryness).

That said, we should also note that there are individual differences. This means the duration of the effect may vary depending on lifestyle and skin type.

Designed specifically for skin-beautifying treatment

What makes VOLITE significantly different from the other hyaluronic acid products in the Juvéderm Vista series isthat it is "designed specifically for skin-beautifying treatment."Let us explain this feature in detail, contrasting it with the conventional Juvéderm-series hyaluronic acid.

1. Overall skin-quality improvement:
   • Conventional hyaluronic acid: the main purpose is to fill in specific areas (for example, nasolabial folds).
   • VOLITE: the purpose is to improve the texture of the skin as a whole.
2. Natural finish:
   • Conventional hyaluronic acid: partial volume enhancement can sometimes give an unnatural impression.
   • VOLITE: achieves a natural finish, as if the whole face were being hydrated from within.
3. A variety of treatable areas:
   • Conventional hyaluronic acid: used mainly on specific areas of the face.
   • VOLITE: can be used on the face and also on areas such as the neck.
4. Activation of skin function:
   • Conventional hyaluronic acid: mainly a physical filling effect.
   • VOLITE: activates the function of the skin cells themselves, promoting long-term improvement of skin quality.
5. Combined effect:
   • Conventional hyaluronic acid: mainly specialized in improving wrinkles and adding volume.
   • VOLITE: achieves multifaceted improvement in skin quality, including moisture, firmness, texture, and elasticity.

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

• Those who feel an overall decline in their skin with age
• Those troubled by dry skin
• Those who feel their makeup no longer goes on as well as it used to
• Those who wish for natural rejuvenation

The effects of VOLITE

Here we explain the effects of VOLITE in detail.

Main effects

The main effects of VOLITE are as follows:

1. Improved skin hydration:
   • The high water-holding capacity of hyaluronic acid hydrates the skin from within.
   • It helps improve fine lines and rough texture caused by dryness.
2. Improved skin firmness and elasticity:
   • It promotes the production of collagen and elastin, bringing firmness and elasticity to the skin.
   • It helps restore the skin's elasticity, which tends to be lost with age.
3. Improved texture:
   • It refines the fineness of the skin's surface, leading to a smoother skin texture.
   • It reduces the appearance of pores.
4. Improved dullness:
   • It activates the skin's metabolism and removes the buildup of old dead skin that causes dullness.
   • It brings brightness and clarity to the skin.
5. Reduction of fine lines:
   • By replenishing moisture from within the skin, it makes surface fine lines less noticeable.
   • It is especially effective for wrinkles in delicate areas such as around the eyes and mouth.
6. Improved skin tone:
   • It helps even out uneven skin tone, leading to an even, healthy complexion.
7. Better makeup application:
   • By smoothing the skin's surface, it improves how well makeup adheres.
   • It reduces unevenness and breakdown of foundation.
8. Long-term skin-quality improvement:
   • With continued use, it enhances the skin's natural functions and supports the creation of skin that holds up against age.

*These effects may vary depending on the individual's skin type, age, and lifestyle. The way effects are felt also differs from person to person; most people begin to notice changes in about 2–4 weeks, though some feel effects immediately after the treatment.

Mechanism of action (how skin water retention is improved)

Here we explain in detail the mechanism by which VOLITE improves the skin's water-holding capacity.

1. Replenishing hyaluronic acid:
   • The high concentration of hyaluronic acid in VOLITE directly increases the skin's moisture content.
   • One gram of hyaluronic acid has the ability to hold up to 6 liters of water.
2. How moisture is retained:
   • The injected hyaluronic aciddraws moisture from the surrounding tissues.
   • Because this moisture stays within the skin, a lasting moisturizing effect is achieved.
3. Strengthening the skin's barrier function:
   • Hyaluronic acid also acts on the skin's surface to strengthen the barrier function.
   • This reduces moisture evaporation from the skin and helps prevent dryness.
4. Improving the intercellular matrix:
   • By filling in the gaps between cells, hyaluronic acid improves the structure of the skin.
   • This improves the skin's overall water-holding capacity.
5. Promoting the skin's natural hyaluronic acid production:
   • Supplementing hyaluronic acid from outside stimulates the skin's own natural production of hyaluronic acid.
   • Over the long term, the skin's own water-holding capacity may improve.
6. Circulation-boosting effect:
   • The injection of hyaluronic acid promotes local circulation.
   • Improved circulation increases the supply of nutrients and moisture to the skin.
7. Anti-inflammatory action:
   • Hyaluronic acid has a mild anti-inflammatory effect.
   • By reducing inflammation, the skin's barrier function is maintained and its water-holding capacity is preserved.
8. Gradual, long-lasting effect:
   • Owing to VOLITE's special structure, the hyaluronic acid is broken down gradually.
   • This gradual breakdown process results in a long-lasting moisturizing effect.

Through these combined actions, VOLITE offers the potential not just of temporary hydration but of improving the skin's fundamental water-holding capacity.

Indications: recommended for these people

VOLITE is suitable for many people, but is especially recommended for those with the concerns below. Let us explain each indication in detail.
