The purpose of this article is to provide expert consensus on facial rejuvenation using a combination of volumizing products (Juvéderm® VOLUMA®), filling products (Juvéderm® Ultra product line) and botulinum toxins. The Juvéderm product line uses innovative 3D technology, producing a consistent and homogeneous gels with measurable, long lasting and natural results.

The products are easy to use by practitioners and are well tolerated by patients. When combined, they offer additional benefits compared to the use of a single product. Practitioners also conduct a global analysis of the face anatomy, the aging process and the available treatment options, in order to determine the best possible product combination to be used.

Dark circles treatment with Juvéderm Voluma injections

Juvéderm Voluma injections in the mid-face, Juvéderm Smile in the lips and Juvéderm Ultra in the nasolabial folds and the dark circles

Using a new filler that contains hyaluronic acid and 0.3% of lidocaine (previously incorporated) reduces the pain and improves the patient’s comfort during the procedure. In vitro studies confirm that this product performs similarly to its lidocaine-free predecessors in terms of safety and efficacy. However, very few data is available on the duration of this improved product.

A study was conducted in order to determine if adding lidocaine affects the longevity of results when using hyaluronic acid as a filler.

During this study, 60 patients with severe bilateral nasolabial folds received either 24 mg / ml of hyaluronic acid with lidocaine, or a similar, lidocaine-free product. The results were monitored for 76 weeks.

The study revealed significantly better results for Hyaluronic Acid with lidocaine in terms of reducing pain and discomfort during and after the injection. Long-term follow-up of patients showed that 91% (52/57) presented no facial asymmetry after nearly a year. The researchers confirmed that lidocaine did not affect the filler’s longevity.

It is generally recognized that deficient volumes have a negative impact on the aesthetic look of a face. This is why several specific procedures have been developed in order to restore volumes and treat the aging face.

Restoring volumes has become fundamental for the minimally invasive multimodal approaches to facial cosmetic treatments. Juvéderm® VOLUMA belongs to the Juvéderm’s hyaluronic acid product line. It is intended to be injected between the deep dermis and the periosteum, in order to restore volumes and improve 3D facial rejuvenation.

Our studies highlight the fact that Juvéderm Voluma is suitable for patients requiring volume rebuilding or full restoration, as well as face contours redefining. It can be used on the malar area, the chin, the jaw and the cheeks. Like all hyaluronic acid products, Juvéderm VOLUMA has reversible and absorbable properties and offers a high level of effectiveness with lasting results.

A global approach for a natural looking rejuvenation: recommendations for volume restoration and the periocular treatment

New techniques and products have made it possible to develop a global approach when it comes to treating signs of aging. However, the procedures involved in this approach are poorly documented and so far, none of the existing recommendations has been widely and formally validated.

Therefore, based on expert consensus recommendations, we decided to provide a detailed and practical guide on restoring volumes in the midface and rejuvenating the periocular area. We explored the advantages of treatment combinations, like botulinum toxin and Hyaluronic Acid injections and volumizing products combinations. This global approach will help providing optimal results.

As the years go by, dark circles tend to show up under the eyes. Sometimes they turn to even darker colors, which makes the face look dull. But there is an effective procedure against this almost unavoidable change : the hyaluronic acid injections, to which the practitioner will add lidocaine, a soft, cohesive and long lasting gel. A volumizing product in the mid-face and the periocular area can be used in addition. Thanks to this simple procedure, the face will recover its natural radiance.Topics :

Consensual practice recommendations for botulinum toxin injections in the upper and mid-face: forehead-glabella-crow’s feet-eyebrow-eyelid-nose

botulinum toxin is a natural injectable product used since 1974. It was first approved for cosmetic indications in anti-aging treatments in the US in 2002.

botulinum toxin is indeed a muscle relaxant and botulinum toxin injections can correct wrinkles that occur because of frequent muscle contractions. We conducted a survey in order to identify current practices in France. Its goal is to provide practice recommendations for treating the aging upper and mid-face with botulinum toxin.

General considerations, main treatment rules, injection specifications (dose, site and techniques), associated procedures / treatments and follow-up were defined for each face area, ie the glabellar forehead, horizontal forehead, lion’s wrinkles and crow’s feet, lower eyelids, and eyebrow repositioning and reshaping. For the consensus participants, the botulinum toxin use is a global, both preventive and corrective treatment.

Are you uncomfortable with the look of your protruding ears but you don’t really feel like undergoing surgery ?

Then this revolutionary technique might be the best answer for you : the EarFold implants technique.

A very small and hardly noticeable incision allows us to place the implants under the skin. They will bend the ear, changing its positioning and bringing it closer to the head.

The whole procedure take only about 15 to 20 minutes and is performed under local anesthesia. The results are immediate and long lasting!
