The jawline is a critical facial feature for attractiveness and beauty, and many people desire improved definition in this area. With age, your face loses volume and descends over time with gravity, resulting in jowls that soften the distinction between your jaw and neck. Though skillful makeup application can help in the short term, these hide the problem instead of solving it.

If you want to look your best but struggle with a weaker, smaller chin, droopy jowls, or a less defined than desired jawline either due to age or genetics, Dr. Annie Chiu of The Derm Institute is proud to offer Juvéderm Volux for lower face contouring, including the chin and jawline. Here’s what you need to know about this advanced dermal filler.

Volux for a Defined Jawline

The Derm Institute now offers Juvéderm Volux, an FDA-approved, hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler, to enhance jawline definition and the contours of the lower face.

• Long lasting results
• Defined youthful appearance
• Natural looking results
• Safe and Effective

Allergan, the makers of Juvéderm, designed Volux to deliver a natural definition to areas like the angle of the jaw, jowls, jawline, and chin. Dr. Chiu can partner with you to create a more defined and youthful lower face. The hyaluronic acid-based filler Volux is a next-generation dermal filler that is designed to give a natural, revitalized lift to the chin and jawline without the telltale signs of artificial filler.  Using advanced injection techniques, Dr. Chiu can use Juvederm Volux to enhance the contours of the lower face, diminishing the appearance of jowls, and create a more chiseled, or heart-shaped face depending on the need. 

Clinical trials showed a high satisfaction level for Volux, with improvements lasting well over a year. Balancing the jawline and chin with an injectable like Volux optimizes facial appearance and improves symmetry.

Potential areas Volux can address include:

• Visible signs of lower facial aging
• Jowls
• A weak or ill-defined jawline
• A deeply cleft chin, a small chin, or a retracted chin

The choice of fillers for facial rejuvenation is important for optimal results. But choosing who performs the injections is the most critical, which we’ll explain below.

Is Volux the Same as Voluma?

While Dr. Chiu utilizes all current FDA-approved fillers available in the United States, fillers like Restylane Lyft and Juvéderm Voluma create facial symmetry, while Juvéderm Volux is differentiated as a hyaluronic acid filler in that it contains a thicker, more cohesive and robust formula. The durable quality of Juvederm Volux is ideal to enhance jawline definition, lift the jowls, and balance the chin with natural-appearing results like other hyaluronic acid fillers that last up to 18 months. Through cohesive formulas designed with poly-L-lactic acid are appropriate to enhance jawline definition, most patients prefer hyaluronic acid fillers for natural results that last up to 18 months. Therefore, Juvéderm’s Volux can fill the non-surgical gap for jawline improvement.

Like our other Juvéderm injectable products, Volux is a hyaluronic acid filler to address lost facial volume and revitalize treated areas.  On the lower face, the Volux consistency imitates more closely bone and is more proficient in lifting tissues along the lower face including the chin and jawline.

Is Volux FDA-Approved?

On Aug. 3, 2022, Allergan announced the FDA approval of Juvéderm Volux for adults over 21 with moderate to severe jawline volume loss as studied in clinical trials. Lower face volume loss transcends race, gender, ethnicity, and age. Because so many people struggle with this aesthetic issue due to genetics or soft tissue loss, Dr. Chiu is excited to introduce them to Volux to improve chin profiles, jawline definition and eliminate saggy jowls.

Is Volux Available in the U.S.?

Juvéderm’s Volux for jawline contouring is now available with Annie Chiu, MD at The Derm Institute.  Contact us if you are interested! Volux’s FDA approval represents the most significant leap in innovation for Juvéderm’s hyaluronic acid fillers since it introduced Voluma. It complements our product line at The Derm Institute, offering more structure and lift capacity to enhance your jawline contour for first-time impressions or social media posts. This product has high satisfaction in men and women alike.

How Long Will Volux Last?

Juvéderm Volux is Allergan’s longest-lasting hyaluronic acid dermal filler. Clinical studies have shown a duration of up to two years. The length of dermal filler benefits ultimately depends on how quickly your body breaks down the product, which varies from patient to patient. As with all hyaluronic acid fillers, you can have Volux dissolved by using the hyaluronidase enzyme if you are dissatisfied with your results.

What should I expect after my Juvederm Volux Treatment?

You may experience some minor swelling and redness at the injection site.  This is normal and should resolve over a few days. 

If you wish to minimize bruising, please follow our Pre-Filler Directions detailing what medication to avoid to decrease your risk of bruising. 

Can You Combine Volux With Other Injectables?

For comprehensive facial rejuvenation, Dr. Chiu offers the patented TDI Effortless Lift. This non-surgical treatment includes fillers in facial areas and injectable neuromodulators like Botox. Dr. Chiu will sculpt, lift, and volumize facial contours by taking advantage of each product’s slightly different enhancements and using a layering effect. This process is the best approach for total facial rejuvenation, as it doesn’t focus on one problem area but your face as a whole.

The application of various non-invasive treatments, combined with Dr. Chiu’s expertise, sets The Derm Institute apart. She uses no shortcuts, inappropriate dilutions, or discounted supplies. Dr. Chiu and her team prioritize providing safe, expert, and artistic facial rejuvenation.
