STYLAGE XXL: pump up the volume The newest product in the range is STYLAGE® XXL, a cross-linked hyaluronic acid (available in a 2.2 ml syringe), with added Mannitol designed to provide underlying facial structure in the two most important areas of the face — the cheekbones and chin. Facial proportions play a
significant role in how we perceive beauty. A young-looking face is one that is full and smoothly contoured. As we age, our face naturally loses volume, which can happen as early as our mid 20s or 30s — especially in people who diet or excessively exercise. Even if lines or wrinkles are not
apparent, the loss of underlying soft tissue can cause drooping or sagging skin, depressed or hollowed cheeks, which eventually gives the face a wan, tired appearance. Restoring facial volume is therefore
a very effective and immediate way in which to improve facial proportions and to make a face look naturally younger. STYLAGE® XXL treatment can help prevent this from happening by restoring a youthful fullness to the face.

How can STYLAGE XXL make a face look naturally younger? For individuals with gaunt or hollow cheeks, STYLAGE® XXL treatment can restore a fuller, more youthful appearance and enhance the natural contours of the face. Cheek augmentation can make the cheekbones appear more prominent, which in turn, can improve the overall facial balance. The gel is quickly and easily
injected by an expert’s hand: it fills in the hollows of an ageing/hollow or emaciated face, enhances the cheekbones and gives a more youthful life to dull/tired skin. Owing to STYLAGE® XXL and
advanced facial contouring techniques, physicians are now able to produce more facelift-like results to meet patients’ demands for long-lasting, non-surgical treatment options. With STYLAGE® XXL, practitioners can now customise the treatment to
the individual patient to fill in the hollows and depressions left by facial lipoatrophy, which restores broad areas of lost facial volume. The product can also be used for the treatment of HIV-associated facial lipodystrophy1
.
The injection process can take as little as 16 minutes to complete. Patients can resume work and their usual activities immediately after the injections. The result of the filling can be seen instantly.
