JUVÉDERM® VOLUX™ XC is the first and only hyaluronic acid (HA) filler to receive U.S. FDA approval for improving jawline definition. For adults over the age of 21 with moderate to severe jawline definition loss, this cutting-edge injectable represents the most significant leap in innovation for the JUVÉDERM® HA portfolio. VOLUX™ XC complements the existing product line to increase structure, cohesivity, and lift capacity, creating an improved jawline that appears more defined in real life and on camera.
As people age, many factors, such as genetics and soft tissue loss, can contribute to how the lower face changes. This can cause reduced definition around the jawline area that may impact and change the shape of the face and lead to the appearance of jowls.
Compared to other hyaluronic acid fillers, VOLUX™ XC is much denser, making it perfect for restoring volume to the shape and structure of the lower face. This creates a smooth contour along the jawline and reduces the appearance of jowls. Results include significant definition between the jaw and neck and more voluminous cheeks for a more sculpted, youthful appearance.
