Ideal Candidates
Ideal candidates for treatment with JUVÉDERM® products are non-smokers in good general health who wish to restore facial volume for a more youthful appearance. The formulation used will depend on the area of the face and aesthetic concerns being treated.
How It Works
JUVÉDERM® products are made of a synthetic form of hyaluronic acid (HA), a sugar that is produced by your body. HA attracts moisture to the skin and other tissues to help keep them supple and hydrated. There are different formulations of JUVÉDERM® available, depending on the area being treated. We will discuss this with you during your consultation and develop a personalized treatment plan.
JUVÉDERM® XC
JUVÉDERM® XC is used to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds, which are the lines that extend from the nose to the corners of the mouth.
JUVÉDERM® Ultra XC
This formulation is meant to restore or add volume to the lips and smooth fine lines around the mouth.
JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC
This formulation is designed for injection into the cheeks to help remedy the loss of volume, causing a hollowed appearance or a loss of definition.
JUVÉDERM VOLLURE™ XC
This formulation is also designed to fill and smooth moderate to severe facial creases but produces a smoother result.
JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA® XC
JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA® XC is designed to augment the lips and smooth perioral lines. This formulation is softer than JUVÉDERM® Ultra XC.
JUVÉDERM® VOLUX™ XC
JUVÉDERM® VOLUX™ XC is designed to improve lost definition in the jawline, which includes the chin and jowl area.
Recovery and Results
Immediately after your injections, you may experience some slight redness, swelling, or bruising. These side effects are typically mild and should resolve within a few days.
You will see the initial results of your treatment immediately, and your appearance will refine as the swelling dissipates and the gel settles. You can expect to look more refreshed and youthful and will see an improvement in facial volume. JUVÉDERM® products can last for six months to one year, depending on the formulation used and the area(s) treated. Maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle can help prolong your results.
