Select filler brands, manufacturers, and crosslinking technology [28,29,30,31].

Filler’s Brands (Europe) Company Crosslinking Technology Notes
Juvederm Ultra 2,3,4 Allergan Hylacross technology Lasts 12 months; contain a high ratio of high MW HA vs. lower MW HA
Juvederm Volux, Voluma, Volift, Volbella, Volite Allergan Vycross technology Lasts up to 18 months; contain a higher proportion of low MW HA vs. higher MW HA
Saypha Filler, Volume, Volume Plus Croma Supreme Monophasic and Reticulated Technology (SMART) -
Restylane Vital, Vital light, Restylane, Restylane Lyft Galderma Non-animal stabilized hyaluronic acid technology (NASHA) Lasts 6 months on average, with retreatment every 6–9 months; addition of small amounts of BDDE introduces minute amounts of crosslinks between the individual chains, leading to entangled matrix
Restylane Fynesse, Refyne, Kysse, Volyme, Defyne Galderma Optimal balance technology (OBT) Thicker or thinner fillers are obtained by varying gel calibration, and firmer or softer fillers by varying crosslinking
Yvoire Classic, Volume Contour LGChem High Concentration Equalized crosslinking technology (HICE) Has a maximal rate of crosslinking, minimal alteration in HA structure, and optimization of dispersion of the crosslinking agent
Belotero Soft, Balance, Intense, Volume, Lips-Shape, Lips-Contour Merz Cohesive Polydensified Matrix (CPM) Lasts up to 12 months; monophasic polydensified gel that combines high levels of crosslinked HA with lighter levels of crosslinked HA in a cohesive matrix
Definisse Fillers RELIFE eXcellent Three-dimensional Reticulation (XTR™) technology A mixture of different lengths of HA chains are intermolecularly bound by a crosslinking agent to produce a stable three-dimensional HA matrix
Teosyal RHA 1, 2, 3, 4, Kiss Teoxane Resilient Hyaluronic Acid (RHA) Lasts 6–9 months; produces gels with long HA chains stabilized by natural and chemical crosslinks
Stylage Hydromax, S, M, L, Lip, XL, XXL Vivacy Interpenetrating Network like (IPN-Like) Use several individual crosslinked matrices, which undergo an interpenetrating network-like process to achieve a monophasic gel with an increased density of crosslinking
