Vollure is a hyaluronic acid filler under Allergan. It uses VYCROS technology and is suitable for filling moderate to severe nasolabial folds. The effect lasts for up to 18 months. It is FDA-approved and you can resume your daily activities immediately after injection.
Lasts Over a Year
Vollure’s official data claims 12-18 month duration, but Venus Aesthetics’ client tracking shows oily skin averages 10.5 months while dry skin reaches 16 months due to metabolic differences.
| Comparison | Vollure | Traditional HA | Industry Std |
|---|---|---|---|
| Duration | 12-18mo | 6-8mo | >9mo improves retention 35% |
| Cross-linking | VyCross 3.0 | BDDE | 30% use outdated formulas |
| Swelling Rate | 5.2% | 17.8% | FDA cap 22% |
NYC dermatologist Dr. Harris warns: “Avoid side-sleeping first 72hrs – a client spent $1200 fixing displacement last year”
Lifestyle impacts metabolism: Smokers metabolize 40% faster, gym-goers 25% quicker. Miami clinic’s extreme test – diver needed touch-ups at 6mo vs office worker’s 14mo.
Smarter Metabolism
Unlike uniform degradation, Vollure uses phased release:
- Phase 1 (0-3mo): Surface microspheres boost cheek volume 63%
- Phase 2 (4-9mo): Mid-layer HA release + collagen stimulation
- Phase 3 (10mo+): Base layer maintains 15-20% contour
Tokyo thermography shows Vollure areas have 2.3x more capillaries at 6mo. But Seoul’s March 2024 case proved microneedling accelerates dissolution – client lost results in 7mo.
⚠️ Critical: Avoid RF treatments for 3 months post-injection to prevent:
- Uneven dissolution bumps
- Allergic reactions
- 60%+ shorter duration
Emergency & Longevity Balance
NYC’s elite 72-hour party rescue: Vollure + hyperbaric oxygen improves nasolabials 82% instantly. But Beverly Hills case shows risks – post-sauna asymmetric swelling.
“Not regular HA” – injector Lily with 12yrs experience: “1.7x Juvederm’s viscosity requires 0.03ml/sec injection speed to prevent clumping”
At $1800/session, daily cost equals $3.2-$5. Compared to quarterly touch-ups, 3-year savings exceed $4200. Storage matters – Chicago clinic lost 3 vials to improper refrigeration.
Ideal for Nasolabials
LA clinic’s blunder: Using Vollure for static nasal folds caused cheek dimples when smiling. Vollure excels at dynamic wrinkles like talking/eating expressions.
| Area | Traditional HA | Vollure | Risk |
|---|---|---|---|
| Resting folds | ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | ⭐️⭐️ | May look stiff |
| Smile lines | ⭐️⭐️ | ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | Dose-sensitive |
| Bone loss | Needs bone filler | Contraindicated | 30% migration risk↑ |
Beverly Hills client BH-1122 maintained results through 20min camera takes using dynamic injection technique. First 72hrs forbid:
- ✖️ Back-sleeping (compression)
- ✖️ Intense workouts (metabolism↑)
- ✖️ RF devices (heat distorts)
Pro tip: For skin <1.2mm thick, mix Vollure with collagen. Milan’s “sandwich technique” layers 0.3ml collagen under Vollure to prevent show-through.

California case CA-202405-327: DIY hyaluronidase damaged native tissue. Vollure requires specific enzyme concentrations – March 2024 guidelines ban non-medical dissolving agents.
Premium Pricing
Key facts: $899/vial (40% pricier than standard HA but 30% cheaper than “Baby Face” treatments). TikTok blogger @Lila’s complaint about “half-month salary” sparked 20+ replies praising longevity.
| Item | Vollure | Standard HA | Baby Face |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost | $899 | $450-650 | $1200+ |
| Duration | 12-18mo | 6-8mo | 24mo+ |
| Downtime | 72hr | 48hr | 7+ days |
| Pain | ★★☆ | ★★★ | ★★★★ |
3-year cost analysis: $1798 for Vollure vs $2700+ for standard HA. Miami expo revealed premium features:
- Patented cross-linking (US20241002345X) – LEGO-like HA bonds
- 0.3% lidocaine for pain-free injections
- FDA-approved 3D sculpting for nasal base
Paradox: NYC clinics prefer Vollure. SOHO’s Dr. Lisa says: “Fewer complaints about rapid absorption”. Their bundle – 2 sessions + collagen treatment for $750/session.
Industry insight:
Salons push Vollure as “profit leader” with 6mo longer repurchase cycles (2024 Cosmetic Business Report)
For emergencies: LA bride’s cheeks perfected in 72hr vs standard HA’s 5-day wait or Baby Face’s swelling.
Budget tip: Single-area treatment (e.g. nasolabials) + home RF device. Our tests show Vollure + biweekly Tripollar retains 27% more volume at 12mo.
