Dual-Network Cross-Linking
PUREMATRIX™ is the dual-network cross-linking technology behind the Voleria® hyaluronic acid gel range. During cross-linking, two distinct HA networks — a flexible network and a dense network — are formed and interconnected into a single uniform gel. The same platform is calibrated into three consistencies: Fine, Mid and Deep.
Hyaluronic acid in its native form is a viscous fluid. Cross-linking — the chemical bridging of HA chains into a three-dimensional network — turns it into a gel with a stable structure and a defined texture. The properties of the finished gel — its softness, its density, its uniformity — are set at the reticulation step.
Formulating a cross-linked gel is therefore a matter of balance. Too dense, and the gel becomes rigid; too soft, and it loses its body. PUREMATRIX™ approaches this balance by combining two networks, each with its own role.
The flexible network is an open HA network. It gives the gel its softness and smooth texture.
The dense network is a compact HA network. It gives the gel its body and structure.
During the reticulation phase the two networks are chemically interconnected rather than simply blended. The finished gel is a single dual-phase matrix with one uniform texture.
PUREMATRIX™ gels are produced under monitored temperature, pH and ionic strength. Controlling these three parameters through the reaction governs where cross-links form and how uniformly each network develops — which is what produces a stable yet supple gel.
PUREMATRIX™ is the common platform beneath the entire Voleria range. The calibration of the two networks — their ratio, density and interconnection — is what differentiates the three consistencies.
PUREMATRIX™ is the dual-network cross-linking technology used across the Voleria® hyaluronic acid gel range. It forms two distinct cross-linked hyaluronic acid networks — a flexible network and a dense network — that interconnect during reticulation into one uniform gel.
It means the gel contains two interconnected HA networks created in the cross-linking (reticulation) step: an open, flexible network and a dense network. Together they behave as a single dual-phase gel.
Cross-linking density determines the texture of a gel. Too dense and the gel becomes rigid; too soft and it loses its body. PUREMATRIX™ targets a controlled cross-linking density for a uniform gel without stiffness.
All three Voleria consistencies — Fine, Mid and Deep — are produced with PUREMATRIX™ dual-network cross-linking.
