Dermal Fillers

Juvederm (Ultra Plus, Voluma, Volbella)

Among the most widely used dermal fillers in circulation, today is Juvederm. Juvederm comes in a wide variety of formulations to address all the major signs of aging, from lines and wrinkles to volume loss, poor definition, scarring, and lip deflation, among other concerns.

All Juvederm products are made with hyaluronic acid (HA), a compound that binds with water molecules to produce radiant, hydrated contours in the skin. While our bodies naturally produce HA, our supply diminishes with maturity. Juvederm helps to offset this loss of HA, beautifully restoring our natural beauty.

Juvederm can address:

Nasolabial folds – Smile lines running from the nose to the corners of the mouth
Marionette lines – Creases running from the corners of the mouth to the chin
Hollowness in the cheeks, around the eyes, and in the temples
Thinning lips
Lines, creases, and folds

Juvederm Ultra Plus is used to address thick creases, such as marionette lines or nasolabial folds. It is also highly effective in replenishing hand volume. Lidocaine is a part of this formula, making your injections painless and stress-free.

Juvederm Volbella is a dermal filler that is used to primarily treat volume loss in the lips. This filler will create natural-looking results that mimic the look and feel of your natural lips.

Voluma was formulated to reverse volume loss in the cheeks. The product can be instrumental in addressing facial hollows and can target not only the midface but the jawline and chin as well. Voluma can also be used to improve the look of acne scarring.

Who is a good candidate for Juvederm?

A good candidate for Juvederm are healthy adults who want to diminish the appearance of moderate to severe facial wrinkles, folds, and volume loss, especially around the nose and mouth.

When will I see results after getting Juvederm?

Many patients notice immediate improvements in the treated areas following their Juvederm injection. The filler works by adding volume and smoothing out wrinkles and folds. However, the final results might take a few days to a week to fully manifest, as any swelling or minor bruising subsides.

How long do Juvederm results last?

The longevity of Juvederm results can vary based on the specific product used and individual factors. For instance, Juvederm Voluma, which is often used to augment cheeks, can last up to 2 years. Juvederm Ultra Plus, typically used for deeper facial wrinkles and folds, may last around 1 year or more. Juvederm Volbella, often chosen for lip augmentation and fine lines around the lips, can last up to 12 months. To maintain the desired outcomes, periodic touch-up treatments might be necessary.

Is there any downtime or side effects associated with Juvederm?

Juvederm injections have minimal downtime, and most individuals can resume daily activities following the procedure. In any case, you should avoid strenuous activity, prolonged sun exposure, and alcohol consumption for at least 24 hours after treatment. There may be mild and temporary side effects such as redness, pain, swelling, bruising, tenderness, or lumps/bumps at the injection site. Although rare, serious side effects such as allergic reactions or infections can occur.
