Rejuvenation of the perioral and lip regions with two new dermal fillers: The Italian experience with Vycross Technology.

[BACKGROUND] Hyaluronic acid fillers are frequently used for maintenance of youthful appearance of perioral and lip region. The introduction of Juvederm Volbella with lidocaine and Juvederm Volift with lidocaine to the European aesthetic market in 2012 increased the options of fillers to be used and it appears to be a new solution to improve this area.

[OBJECTIVE] the aim of this study is to demonstrate how to correct this area using two new dermal fillers: Juvederm Volift with lidocaine, and Juvederm Volbella with lidocaine, based on the experience of two Italian phycians.

[MATERIAL AND METHODS] 510 patients were enrolled, 195 were treated with Juvederm Volbella with Lidocaine, 160 with Juvederm Volift with lidocaine and 150 with both dermal fillers. Patients were photographed before and immediately after the treatment.

[RESULTS] All patients were extremely satisfied with their treatments. There were no immediate or delayed complications with either of the dermal fillers when used alone, or in combination.

[CONCLUSION] The dermal filler portfolio in Europe is among the largest and most varied available. ( 5 ) We propose here two new 15mg/ml and 17.5mg/ml hyaluronic acid fillers that utilize Vycross technology, that are suitable for lip and perioral region. According to the severity of the wrinkles and to the lip augmentation that we want to obtain we can select either one filler or another.
