The Ultimate REVOLAX Dermal Filler Guide: Fine vs Deep vs Sub-Q

Not all dermal fillers are created equal, and choosing the right consistency can make all the difference when it comes to achieving beautiful, natural-looking results.

Whether you're enhancing lips, softening fine lines, restoring facial volume or creating sharper contours, the REVOLAX range offers three hyaluronic acid dermal fillers designed for different treatment needs.

But what's the difference between REVOLAX Fine, Deep and Sub-Q? And which one should you be reaching for in clinic?

At HUK Aesthetics, we're breaking down the complete REVOLAX range to help practitioners understand what makes each formulation unique and where it fits into their treatment menu.

What Is REVOLAX?

REVOLAX is a South Korean dermal filler brand that has become a familiar choice among UK aesthetics practitioners since its introduction to the market in 2017.

The range is formulated using cross-linked hyaluronic acid (HA), a substance naturally found within the body that helps attract and retain moisture.

REVOLAX uses monophasic gel technology, creating a smooth, uniform consistency designed to provide volume, definition and integration into facial tissues.

All three REVOLAX fillers in the lidocaine range contain:

• 24mg/ml hyaluronic acid for volume and facial enhancement

• 0.3% lidocaine to support client comfort during treatment

• 1.1ml per syringe

• Cross-linked HA gel designed for sustained aesthetic correction

The main difference between the three products is their rheological properties, including viscosity and structural support, which affect how they behave within the tissue.

Think of the REVOLAX range as three different tools: Fine for delicate correction, Deep for versatile enhancement and Sub-Q for more structural definition.

REVOLAX Fine – For Subtle Enhancements and Fine Lines

The lightweight filler for delicate, natural-looking results.

REVOLAX Fine is the softest and least viscous dermal filler in the range, making it suitable for superficial lines and areas requiring subtle correction.

Its lightweight consistency is designed to integrate into superficial tissues without creating unnecessary volume.

What is REVOLAX Fine used for?

• Fine lines and wrinkles: Softening the appearance of superficial facial lines.

• Crow's feet: Addressing selected fine lines around the outer eye area where clinically appropriate.

• Perioral lines: Improving the appearance of fine lines around the mouth.

• Neck wrinkles: Helping soften selected superficial creases.

• Subtle lip enhancement: A softer approach to lip refinement, where supported by the applicable product instructions.

Why choose REVOLAX Fine?

REVOLAX Fine is designed for practitioners seeking precision without significant projection.

Its lower viscosity makes it particularly relevant when the aim is to soften superficial lines rather than create substantial facial volume.

Key product features:

• Lightweight, lower-viscosity HA gel

• 24mg/ml HA with 0.3% lidocaine

• Suitable for selected superficial corrections

• Manufacturer-advertised longevity of approximately 9–12 months

Best suited for: Practitioners offering subtle rejuvenation and fine-line treatments.

REVOLAX Deep – The Versatile All-Rounder

Volume, definition and flexibility in one syringe.

If there's one filler in the REVOLAX range that offers versatility across multiple treatment categories, it's REVOLAX Deep.

Sitting between Fine and Sub-Q in terms of viscosity and structural support, REVOLAX Deep is designed to provide more volume than Fine without the same level of firmness as Sub-Q.

For practitioners offering a broad range of facial enhancement treatments, it's a useful product to consider.

What is REVOLAX Deep used for?

• Lip augmentation: Adding volume and enhancing lip shape and definition.

• Nasolabial folds: Softening the appearance of deeper smile lines.

• Marionette lines: Supporting correction of selected lines extending downwards from the corners of the mouth.

• Cheek enhancement: Restoring moderate volume and improving facial contours.

• Chin enhancement: Supporting selected contouring treatments where clinically indicated.

Why choose REVOLAX Deep?

REVOLAX Deep provides a balance between flexibility and structural support.

It offers greater lifting and volumising potential than Fine, while remaining suitable for applications that require a less robust gel than Sub-Q.

For practitioners who regularly perform lip filler treatments alongside broader facial rejuvenation, Deep can be a particularly practical addition to their product selection.

Key product features:

• Medium-viscosity HA formulation

• 24mg/ml HA with 0.3% lidocaine

• Designed for deeper folds and facial augmentation

• Manufacturer-advertised longevity of approximately 12–18 months

Best suited for: Lip augmentation, moderate volume restoration and practitioners wanting a versatile filler for several facial treatment categories.

REVOLAX Sub-Q – For Structure, Projection and Facial Contouring

The strongest structural support within the REVOLAX range.

When your treatment goal involves greater projection, definition or restoring more significant volume, REVOLAX Sub-Q is the product specifically developed for these deeper structural applications.

As the thickest and most viscous gel in the REVOLAX family, Sub-Q is intended for areas that require greater support and shape retention.

Unlike Fine, which focuses on superficial correction, or Deep, which balances volume and flexibility, Sub-Q is positioned primarily for facial contouring and augmentation.

What is REVOLAX Sub-Q used for?

• Jawline contouring: Enhancing definition and supporting a more structured facial profile.

• Chin augmentation: Creating greater projection and improving facial proportions.

• Cheek enhancement: Restoring significant volume and creating more pronounced contours.

• Cheekbone definition: Supporting shape and projection in selected patients.

• Deep facial folds: Addressing more substantial volume-related corrections.

REVOLAX Sub-Q is also marketed for certain non-surgical nose contouring applications. However, nasal filler is a particularly high-risk procedure and should only be considered by appropriately trained and experienced medical practitioners, following a detailed assessment and the applicable product instructions.

Why choose REVOLAX Sub-Q?

Its firmer consistency makes Sub-Q better suited to areas where maintaining shape and providing structural support are important treatment objectives.

For practitioners specialising in facial contouring, chin augmentation and jawline definition, it offers a different set of properties from the softer products in the range.

Key product features:

• Highest viscosity within the REVOLAX range

• 24mg/ml HA with 0.3% lidocaine

• Designed for deeper volumisation and structural support

• Manufacturer-advertised longevity of approximately 12–18 months

Best suited for: Experienced practitioners offering advanced facial contouring, volume restoration and structural enhancement.

Treatment selection, anatomical areas and injection planes must follow the current manufacturer instructions for use, patient assessment and practitioner competencies. Longevity is approximate and varies between individuals.

Which REVOLAX Filler Should You Choose?

The right REVOLAX product depends on the client's anatomy, treatment goals and the level of correction required.

For a simple starting point:

Choose REVOLAX Fine when: The treatment objective is subtle improvement to superficial lines and delicate corrections without significant volumisation.

Choose REVOLAX Deep when: You're looking for a versatile product for lip enhancement, deeper folds or moderate facial volume.

Choose REVOLAX Sub-Q when: The treatment requires greater structural support, projection or more pronounced facial contouring.

Understanding these differences allows you to make more informed treatment plans, selecting the characteristics most suited to your client's needs rather than using the same filler for every indication.

Can You Use Different REVOLAX Fillers in the Same Treatment Plan?

Yes, different filler formulations may be considered within a comprehensive facial rejuvenation plan when clinically appropriate.

For example, a patient may benefit from addressing both facial volume loss and superficial lines.

Because different treatment areas require different levels of support and flexibility, a practitioner may choose more than one type of filler across separate anatomical areas.

However, combined treatment planning should always take account of the manufacturer's instructions, the patient's medical history, previous filler treatments, total treatment volume and potential complications.

The important consideration is not simply how much volume is being added, but how the filler is expected to behave within the chosen tissue.
