The Basics

What Is Allergan Aesthetics?

Allergan Aesthetics isn't a single injectable, it's one of the world's largest aesthetic medicine companies, a division of AbbVie Inc. following AbbVie's 2020 acquisition of Allergan. It develops, manufactures, and markets a broad portfolio of facial injectables, body contouring systems, breast aesthetics products, and skincare, and is widely regarded as one of the industry's "big four" alongside Galderma, Merz Aesthetics, and Revance.

VYCROSS® Technology

Used in several JUVÉDERM fillers to improve cohesivity, gel consistency, duration, and lifting capacity.

HYLACROSS® Technology

An earlier-generation HA technology used in products such as JUVÉDERM Ultra, designed for smooth injection, natural integration, lip augmentation, and moderate wrinkle correction.

Microdroplet HA Technology

Used in SKINVIVE, allowing broad dermal distribution for skin quality improvement rather than facial volumization.

Allergan Aesthetics is widely considered the global benchmark in aesthetic medicine. Rather than specializing in a single product category, it offers one of the industry's most comprehensive portfolios, spanning neuromodulators (BOTOX®), hyaluronic acid fillers (JUVÉDERM®), skin quality injectables (SKINVIVE™), body contouring (CoolSculpting®), and professional skincare (SkinMedica®). Its products are backed by extensive clinical evidence, robust physician training, and large-scale post-market safety data, and remain among the most established and scientifically validated in the field.
