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.
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.
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.

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.
