VYC-12 | Hyaluronic Acid Micro-Droplet Injectable

Transform your skin from within with VYC-12! Designed to deeply hydrate and improve skin smoothness, this injectable can give you a youthful glow that lasts for months—all without changing your natural features. 

VYC-12 in Singapore focuses on hydration and helps the skin retain its natural moisture, allowing you to wake up to and maintain an effortlessly radiant and luminous complexion.

What is VYC-12?

VYC-12 is a US FDA-approved hyaluronic acid micro-droplet injectable. Indicated to improve cheek skin smoothness, it increases skin hydration in the treated area for a firmer, smoother, and more vibrant appearance. It is generally described as a “skin booster” that is all about enhancing your skin's radiance without drastically altering your appearance.

With optimal treatment, VYC-12 provides a lasting glow for up to 6 months, as reported by patients with a validated questionnaire. It also boosts collagen and elastin production for softer and suppler skin.

How does VYC-12 work?

VYC-12 uses a high concentration of modified hyaluronic acid to revitalize skin quality and boost hydration. It is injected superficially in numerous injection points (microdroplet amounts), allowing the product to diffuse into an even layer. Once injected, the HA permeates the skin cells to hydrate the cells and help stimulate essential skin proteins.

VYC-12 boosts collagen and elastin production, which strengthens your skin, smooths fine lines, and restores elasticity. It also stimulates Aquaporin-3, a natural protein that enhances hydration and helps repair its barrier. Together, these actions help you achieve skin that looks and feels healthy, smooth, and vibrant.

Instead of changing the shape of the face, VYC-12 changes the appearance of the skin, improving its texture and helping you achieve that glowing skin and glass-looking complexion. As previously mentioned, it is designed for the cheeks with results that last around six months, depending on the patient.

• Boost and restore hydration – makes your skin feel softer and more supple, giving it a dewy, youthful appearance.
• Improve skin texture and smoothness – reduces rough patches and uneven skin texture, giving your skin a velvety feel.
• Help increase elasticity – restores and maintains elasticity, reducing the appearance of laxity or sagging skin.

Is VYC-12 safe?

VYC-12 is US FDA-approved for the treatment of the cheeks in adults over the age of 21. Its rejuvenating effects last 6 to 9 months and the HA is eventually metabolized by the body.

Does VYC-12 injection hurt?

As with all other injectable treatments, there is some minor discomfort. You may be glad to know that VYC-12 already contains lidocaine to numb the area and reduce discomfort.

When will I see the results?

How long do the results of VYC-12 last?

In general, patients can expect the results to last for up to 6 to 9 months. But since every individual is different, the longevity of results can vary.

How many VYC-12 treatments will I need?

Most patients may need a 2- to 3-stage treatment. For each treatment, one syringe (1cc) is used and spaced about a month apart. This enables VYC-12 to work together with the skin’s natural cycle, which is around 28 to 30 days.

Is there downtime?

The downtime is minimal to none. Make sure to avoid aspirin, anti-inflammatory medication, and alcohol 24 hours before the injection. The same is also true for UV exposure and exercising for 48 hours. Most patients can return to their normal routines after the treatment.

Are there side effects?

Common side effects include mild swelling and redness, lumps/bumps, swelling, and tenderness. These are temporary and will resolve within a few days.

Who are good candidates for VYC-12?

Can I combine VYC-12 with other treatments?

Yes, you can combine VYC-12 with other non-surgical procedures, such as lasers, microneedling, and other anti-aging injectables. A consultation with an aesthetic doctor will let you know which combination of treatments suits your needs and goals.
