Where is Revanesse® suitable for injection? Shape+ and Ultra+ differences and selection guide
Update Date: August 17, 2026
Quick Answers
Where is Revanesse® suitable for injection? Revanesse® is a series of cross-linked hyaluronic acid fillers. The Ultra™+ used by Jiyen Aesthetics is more suitable for physicians to evaluate for gently refining lines, depressions, and perioral proportions; Shape™+ has higher support and is often used for areas requiring deep support and contouring. The real key to choice is not "which one is better," but which rheological characteristics, injection depth, and dosage better suit your facial structure.
When looking to improve nasolabial folds, malar fat pads, lip shape, chin, or jawline, many people first ask, "Which hyaluronic acid should I use?" However, facial treatments are not a one-size-fits-all formula based on location: the same nasolabial folds may result from insufficient midface volume, skin laxity, or facial expressions; similarly, to refine the jawline, one must first distinguish between bone proportion, fat distribution, and skin thickness. This article starts from common areas and needs, helping you understand the differences between Revanesse® Shape™+ and Ultra™+.
What is Revanesse®?
Revanesse® is a series of cross-linked hyaluronic acid fillers manufactured by Prollenium Medical Technologies Inc. in Canada. Hyaluronic acid is a polysaccharide naturally present in human tissues. After being made into a filler, it can be used by qualified physicians, according to approved indications and individual conditions, for volume restoration, line refinement, and contour adjustment.
Jiyen Aesthetics uses two formulations: Shape™+ and Ultra™+. These two cannot be fully summarized by "soft or hard." Physicians also consider viscosity, support, tissue integration, injection method, and anticipated injection depth.
Shape™+, Ultra™+ Differences at a Glance
| Comparison Points | Ultra™+ | Shape™+ |
|---|---|---|
| Treatment Positioning | Gentle refinement and volume restoration | Deep support and contour shaping |
| Texture and Support | Fine, moderate viscosity, balancing softness | Higher viscosity and support |
| Common Evaluation Needs | Malar fat pads, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, lips and perioral area | Side cheeks, chin and jawline |
| Suitable Direction | Those who desire natural expressions and feel, and subtle refinement | Those who desire increased volumetric proportion and contour support |
The above are general guidelines and do not mean that only a single formulation can be used for a particular area. The actual product, depth, and dosage must be determined by the physician based on face-to-face consultation and Taiwan's approved package insert.
Common Areas for Revanesse® Evaluation
1. Malar Fat Pads and Midface
Midface volume loss can easily make the shadows from under the eyes to the nasolabial folds more pronounced. The evaluation focuses not on "enlarging" the malar fat pads, but on observing support points, left-right differences, and dynamic expressions to achieve a more natural midface transition.
2. Nasolabial Folds and Marionette Lines
Lines may be affected by bone structure, fat pad displacement, skin laxity, and expressions. If only the deepest line is filled, the cause may not be addressed; the physician may first evaluate surrounding support before deciding whether to directly refine the depression.
3. Lips and Perioral Area
Lip treatments can focus on contour, proportion, symmetry, or perioral details, not just increasing volume. Lip shape, dental support, and speaking expressions all influence the design, and a precise, conservative dosage plan is usually preferred.
4. Chin
The chin affects the side profile and lower face length. Evaluation requires considering frontal width, lateral projection, occlusion, and jawline connection, avoiding solely pursuing a sharp or long chin from a single angle.
5. Jawline and Side Cheeks
Blurred contours are not always due to insufficient support, but may also be related to fat, muscle, or skin laxity. If the physician determines that hyaluronic acid is suitable, the focus will be on structural and light transitions. Other treatments may also be recommended if necessary.
How to Choose? Physicians Typically Consider 4 Things
- Primary Cause: Is it volume loss, bone proportion, skin laxity, or expression-induced lines?
- Injection Depth: Different depths require different support, extensibility, and injection strategies.
- Dynamic Expressions: Fillers must harmonize with surrounding tissues when smiling, speaking, and chewing.
- Previous Treatments: Any prior treatments with hyaluronic acid, collagen stimulators, threads, surgery, or energy-based devices should be proactively communicated to the physician.
Will Revanesse® cause swelling? How long is the recovery period?
After injection, there may be temporary redness, swelling, tenderness, bruising, or localized changes in sensation, most of which will gradually subside. The degree of swelling and recovery speed will be affected by the area, individual constitution, dosage, and injection method. Please follow medical instructions for post-treatment care and avoid vigorous self-massage or pressing.
All fillers carry rare but serious risks, such as accidental intravascular injection. If there is noticeable skin blanching or reticular discoloration, rapidly worsening pain, visual disturbances, or neurological symptoms, contact the clinic immediately and seek medical attention as soon as possible.
How long does Revanesse® last?
According to the manufacturer's international data, the average duration of implantation for Shape™+ and Ultra™+ is approximately 6–12 months, but this varies from person to person. The actual duration is affected by the area, dosage, metabolism, lifestyle, and facial activity. The focus of follow-up visits is to observe the overall proportion and tissue condition, rather than simply adding more at fixed intervals.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is Revanesse® hyaluronic acid?
Yes. Revanesse® is a series of cross-linked hyaluronic acid fillers.
Which is more natural, Shape™+ or Ultra™+?
Naturalness depends on whether the product is suitable for the specific depth and area, as well as the physician's dosage and injection design, not solely on the product name.
Can Revanesse® be injected into the nose or around the eyes?
Different products have approved indications and contraindications. The nose and eye areas involve important blood vessels and anatomical risks, and must be evaluated by a qualified physician according to the package insert and individual conditions. Self-judgment based on online articles is not advised.
Does injecting more hyaluronic acid make it last longer?
No. Excessive amounts may affect proportion, expressions, and tissue burden. The appropriate dosage should prioritize structural needs and safety.
Can Revanesse® be combined with energy-based devices (e.g., HIFU, RF) or lasers?
This can be discussed, but the sequence and interval need to be planned based on the area, energy depth, and previous treatments. Please have a physician integrate and evaluate.
Consult a Physician First, Then Decide on Formulation and Dosage
If you are concerned about nasolabial folds, malar fat pads, lip shape, chin, or jawline, it is recommended to have a physician at Jiyen Aesthetics evaluate your facial structure, dynamic expressions, and previous treatments before deciding if Revanesse® is suitable, and how Shape™+ and Ultra™+ should be used.
