VYC-12 - Your new Secret to Lasting Radiance and Hydration - with Cutis Medical Laser Clinic


Have you ever dreamed of waking up to an effortlessly radiant or dewy, luminous complexion every morning? Introducing VYC-12, a hyaluronic acid injectable designed to improve skin hydration and smoothness. It is one of Cutis’s newest non-surgical treatments for enhancing your skin from within for a healthy, youthful glow.


What is VYC-12? 


VYC-12 is a US FDA-approved hyaluronic acid micro-droplet injectable. Generally described as a “skin booster”, VYC-12 is indicated to improve cheek skin smoothness. It increases hydration and helps the skin retain its natural moisture for a firmer, smoother, and more radiant appearance. 

Unlike conventional hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers, VYC-12 is not about adding or restoring volume. Instead, it focuses on skin hydration and smoothness to create a lasting glow. Using a modified version of HA, it stimulates hydration and collagen production to improve skin quality and promote a supple, plump complexion. 


How does VYC-12 work?


Using a high concentration of modified (non-cross linked) HA, VYC-12 revitalises skin quality and boosts hydration. It is injected superficially (underneath the top layer) in numerous injection points using microdroplet amounts. This enables the gel formulation to diffuse into an even layer, increasing hydration and stimulating collagen and elastin.

Instead of altering the shape or contours of the face, VYC-12 changes the appearance of the skin, improving its texture and overall quality. Once injected, the HA molecules attract or draw moisture to the skin, which then enhances its hydration and smoothness. Additionally, VYC-12 contains lidocaine, a local anaesthetic that helps increase patient comfort. 



What are the benefits of VYC-12? 


VYC-12 gives your skin a lasting glow for a healthier and more youthful appearance. Here’s what it can do for you: 


  • Boosts and restores hydration – VYC-12 uses the moisture-attracting qualities of HA to help your skin retain its natural moisture. As it hydrates from within or below the skin, it helps make sure the hydration effect lasts longer. 


  • Improves skin smoothness – the microdroplets of HA enhance hydration and smooth out rough patches and fine lines. They can give the skin the extra boost it needs to look and feel smooth for a more polished and youthful appearance.


  • Increases elasticity – VYC-12 can trigger collagen and elastin production, allowing your skin to restore and maintain its elasticity over time. It reduces the appearance of laxity and sagging, as well as makes the skin look healthier and more toned. 


  • Provides a lasting glow – the boosted hydration, improved skin texture, and increased elasticity can give your skin a radiant glow. The stimulation of hydration, collagen, and elastin, furthermore, leaves you with a refreshed, energised complexion.


  • Improves skin barrier function – proper hydration supports the skin’s natural barrier, protecting it from external aggressors, such as pollution and UV radiation. This contributes not only to a clear and smooth skin appearance, but also to a healthier and more resilient complexion.


  • Natural-looking results – the goal of VYC-12 is not to change the size or shape of your face, but to deeply hydrate the skin for a natural-looking rejuvenation. It enhances skin quality and helps maintain your natural beauty.


Other benefits include:


  • Little to no downtime


  • Suitable for all skin types


  • Quick treatment (takes about 15 minutes on average)


  • Lasting results, 6 to 9 months


Who are the ideal candidates?


VYC-12 improves the overall appearance and quality of the skin, making it ideal for those looking to have a more refreshed and youthful appearance. It can reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles by restoring glow and hydration to the face. You can turn to VYC-12 if:


  • You are over 21 years old.


  • You are looking to have a smoother, more hydrated complexion


  • You want lasting glow or radiance. 


  • You have concerns associated with dry-looking, dull skin. 


  • You are not after adding volume or changing your facial contours.


Can you combine VYC-12 with other treatments? 


Yes, you can combine VYC-12 with other injectables, such as botulinum toxin and dermal fillers. It can also help enhance the results of other non-surgical aesthetic treatments such as peel, lasers, or microneedling. It is, of course, important to discuss your goals with your provider for a customised treatment plan.
