Aesthetic medicine professionals have a wide choice: doctors can choose from a huge number of drugs for various cosmetic procedures. Of particular importance is the choice of drugs for injection techniques, in particular, fillers for contouring. Most specialists trust only proven manufacturers, and therefore choose Allergan products.
In an exclusive interview for estet-portal.com certified trainer of the company, plastic surgeon, member of the All-Ukrainian Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons Volodymyr Pirus told why he chooses Vycross™ preparations, and what features should be taken into account when working with them.
Why do you prefer Allergan products
Company "Allergan" – is a company with extensive experience in aesthetic medicine, which, today, sets high demands on the quality of its products. Of course, the high quality of products – it is an opportunity to work safely and get good results.
When I work with my patients, it is very important to me that the product I work with is reliable and that I have confidence in it. That's why I choose Allergan products.
The key to success is not only in quality work, but also in quality material. Today, I think, the Allergan company is one of the world leaders, which is undoubtedly one of the top three brands producing products for the aesthetic medicine market.
Which products do you use more often
Of course, surgical interventions are not carried out as often as contouring or botulinum therapy. These injection procedures are relevant for both young and middle-aged patients, and even for elderly patients. Therefore, it is clear that there are much more consumers of these products. Moreover, contour plastic surgery and botulinum therapy do not require long-term rehabilitation. These are, one might say, “lunch break” procedures. And surgery – it is more difficult because special conditions are required, surgeons do it in the operating room, and then a rehabilitation period follows.

Therefore, in terms of the quantitative ratio of plastic surgeries, the same breast augmentations, much less is performed than injection procedures. But, nevertheless, even considering this trend, I manage to combine both work in the operating room and work outside the operating room with clients who come to me for minimally invasive procedures. This is a good help for a plastic surgeon, although many doctors in our country believe that injecting techniques is unworthy of their level.
But it's actually another tool that gives me the opportunity to perfect my work. Plastic surgery solves global issues, but sometimes some details remain, the refinement of which with the help of injections allows you to complete the overall picture and achieve the ideal. If we talk about the use of implants – of course, these products from Allergan is also very high quality, and today it suits me according to many criteria. Therefore, having the opportunity to work with various manufacturers, I prefer the products of of the Allergan company.
What patient problems do you use Vycross™
for?Vycross™ is unique and versatile in its characteristics. It makes it possible to work with different areas of faces, including anatomically complex, which are very whimsical.
Most often it is the volumization of – work with the restoration of volumes and former contours of the face that were lost with age.
It's no secret that age-related changes – this is not only the omission of tissues and the deterioration of the quality of the skin, but also a change in proportions, volumes and the appearance of additional reliefs: depressions, dips, disproportions, and so on.
Therefore, working with Vycross™ and having fillers of “various calibers” in my assortment, I can work with zones of varying complexity, starting with the dermis and ending with the restoration of volumes. But most often – this is volumization.
What is the uniqueness of Vycross™
The uniqueness of Vycross&trade technology; is a combination of optimal characteristics. First of all, it is a product that has good plasticity, it is easy to work with, it is well modeled, well laid out in tissues, it has good biodegradation, in the sense that when we use the filler as a liquid implant – it fits in the fabrics as organically as possible, and it looks very natural.
He, as it is fashionable to say now, is biodynamic, that is, even in areas where facial expressions are quite active, he behaves very correctly, does not defragment and does not shift, and this is a very good indicator.
Focus on: Recommendations for working with Vycross™
Furthermore, there are areas that, when injected with fillers, can behave unpredictably and edema can occur there, especially considering the physical characteristics of standard hyaluronic acid, which is a hydrophilic product.
But due to the special technology of Vycross™, the crosslinking agent binds molecules so well that the hydrophilic properties of the drug are minimized, and this is another quality point, due to which risks are reduced.
After all, you can get a good momentary result, but if the product does not behave very well and causes a tendency to edema – unfortunately, this spoils the whole impression of the procedure.
Therefore, today the combination of such qualities as plasticity, stable effect, good tendency to volumization, good volume retention and low hydrophilicity are the criteria for choosing a Vycross&trade preparation for me.What is the most important thing for specialists to know about Vycross™
First –
is a quality and safe product, which has a high degree of purification, great stability, and can keep a good effect for a long time. To date, quite a lot of products can be similar in characteristics to Vycross™ products, but insufficiently high or even low quality makes its own adjustments to the results of using these drugs. Therefore, when I conduct trainings, I always promote the quality and safety of drugs.
Perhaps, these are the main theses that I always voice. And, of course, when working with a high-quality drug, one must not forget that it is important to have fairly good working skills. But this is the other side of the coin, and this is what we do in training: we teach specialists how to properly use a quality product.
Secrets of Success: Botulinum Toxin is the Doctor's Best Assistant

This is because it gives amazing results, to the greatest extent allows you to achieve the effect of pronounced rejuvenation and restoration of lost volumes.
