What is Volite?
Volite is a hyaluronic acid treatment for improving skin quality that has been approved by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. Unlike conventional hyaluronic acid used to improve wrinkles or add volume, it is very soft and blends easily into the skin. By injecting it into the dermis to subcutaneous layer, it increases the skin’s moisture content and provides firmness, elasticity, and hydration. Because the injected Volite is slowly absorbed within the skin, the treatment effects last for approximately 9 months.
As dryness progresses, the skin’s barrier function declines, making inflammation more likely even from minor irritation, and skin troubles become more noticeable. Furthermore, due to chronic inflammation, the barrier function is slow to improve, so the skin cannot retain moisture and dryness does not improve. Treatment with Volite effectively increases the skin’s moisture content, breaking this vicious cycle, normalising the skin’s barrier function, and leading to fundamental improvement of chronic skin concerns.
Volite is also effective for fine lines and is well suited to improving horizontal neck lines.
