Volux Is Changing The Game When It Comes To Jawline Filler

Everyone wants a chiseled jawline. It makes you look thinner and have a more clearly defined face. Who has a better jawline than the supermodel, Gisele Bundchen? She is known for her striking beauty, but also her clearly defined, chiseled jawline.

Today, when it comes to fillers, the latest hype is all about the jawline. It led to the creation of a new FDA-approved filler on the market called Volux, which became available in January. It’s the first of it’s kind for jawline definition.

“It’s the most popular procedure and it’s keeping me busy,” said Dr. Kenneth Mark, a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist working in New York City, the Hamptons, and Aspen.

Over the past six months, this newcomer has seen a boom in jawline injections. Created by Juvéderm’s parent company, Allergan Aesthetics, it’s a type of hyaluronic acid filler that specializes in lower face contouring. Mainly, it was created out of the boom of request from clients who want lower face treatments, but still want versatility.

“Roughly 80% of patients want a better jawline, so there’s a tremendous market need,” said Dr. Mark.

What separates Volux from other Juvéderm products is that it differs in concentration. It has more structure, a stronger lifting effect when injected in the lower face. So, it can’t be used in the upper face. “It’s too robust for anything else,” said Dr. Mark.

Before Volux was FDA-approved, plastic surgeons, dermatologists and other aesthetic treatment professionals would typically inject Voluma XC into the jawline, which is meant for the cheeks. But since Volux is triple the power of Voluma XC, making it ideal for the lower face.

“Volux is the closest thing we’ve seen to a facelift in a syringe,” said Dr. Mark. “People have been talking about liquid facelifts for years, and for sure you can get nice lifting with significant amounts of filler, but nothing has come close to Volux for what it can do.”

Mainly, it’s a miracle for lifting jowls around the jawline. It also helps reduce visibility of excess skin under the chin. As an injection, it lasts up to five years, slowly metabolizing over time. This makes it the longest lasting hyaluronic acid filler on the market today.

“It’s the most robust filler, and it takes a full four weeks to settle into tissue, though you can see instant results,” he said.

It helps add structure and definition to your jawline, and a growing number of clients are men who want a more chiseled jawline. “Improving the definition of your jawline adds masculinity,” said Dr. Mark. “As you grow older, you get jowls and lose definition of your jawlines. People come to me complaining about their marionette lines.”

Dr. Mark’s clients range from those in their 20s to clients in their 80s. It typically lasts up to five years, says Dr. Mark. Each syringe costs roughly $1,600. While the studies for Volux used an average of seven syringes per patient, he typically gets away with using a lot less. It depends on your face shape and how much definition you need. “I pride myself on pinpoint precision and placement,” he said. “‘Don’t overcorrect’ is rule number one in fillers.”
