Sculpt It!

Keeping your triangle of youth has never been easier. With Juvéderm®, return to the promiseland of radiant and sculpted features with their latest injectables. By Alisha Azuddin.

In the realms of clinical aesthetics, a youthful face has 3 unique features: high cheekbones, full cheek volume, and a well-defined jawline, also coined as the triangle of youth. As we age, we more often than not see this youthful triangle invert. The face becomes more long, cheeks flatten and jowls appear due to decreased facial fat and normal degenerative changes1. Thankfully, preserving our triangle of youth has gotten much easier and less invasive.

As we get older, a number of factors are responsible for how our lower face ages. A combination of genetics, bone loss, collagen breakdown and repetitive facial expressions all play a part in the ageing process2. The first typical facial feature that usually succumbs to the effects of gravity and volume loss is the jawline and chin area2. Being that the jawline is a key point of the triangle of youth, we can now turn to the innovations of injectable treatments to restore our youthful structure.

Specifically designed for the lower face, the Juvéderm® Volux treatment pays attention to the areas of the face that most show age, like the jawline. With a high concentration of hyaluronic acid, this innovative gel provides more contouring for the jaw and chin area, than any other treatment4-5.

With hyaluronic acid as its base, a true essential for firmer, younger-looking skin3 and for boosting collagen production,

Juvéderm® range of dermal fillers won't just help to lift the skin, but will also restore facial volume, while hydrating and improving the texture of the skin4-5.

This latest injectable, the Juvéderm® Volux offers a nonsurgical alternative for designing a defined, sculpted jawline with minimal downtime and discomfort, with results that are as natural as ever. And what makes it so unique is that Juvéderm® Volux contours and creates volume in the chin and jaw area for 18–24 months* and it blends with tissue under the skin**, giving a natural looking result.

*Based on comparative pre-clinical in vitro testing and results from repeat clinical studies of Juvéderm® Volux and Juvéderm® Voluma.

**Tissue integration was demonstrated by Juvéderm® Volux at 4 weeks in in vivo studies.
