FAQ: JUVÉDERM
What is JUVEDERM?
JUVÉDERM® is the only HA filler FDA approved to last up to one year. Ask Judy how you can get long-lasting results with JUVÉDERM®. JUVÉDERM® XC injectable gel is a smooth consistency gel dermal filler that helps to instantly restore your skin’s volume and smooth away facial wrinkles, lines and folds like your “smile lines” or “parentheses” (nasolabial folds) —the creases that run from the bottom of your nose to the corners of your mouth). JUVÉDERM® XC comes in two formulations—JUVÉDERM® Ultra XC and JUVÉDERM® Ultra Plus XC.
How does JUVEDERM work?
Judy injects JUVÉDERM® XC injectable gel into the skin using a fine needle to temporarily fill in and augment the treatment area and smooth moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds such as "smile lines" or "parentheses" (nasolabial folds) and "marionette lines" (oral commissures). JUVÉDERM® XC temporarily adds volume to the skin and may give the appearance of a smoother surface.
Why does JUVÉDERM XC come in two formulations?
JUVÉDERM® XC injectable gel is available in two formulations to allow your healthcare professional to tailor treatment to your unique needs. JUVÉDERM® Ultra XC provides versatility in contouring and volumizing facial wrinkles and folds. JUVÉDERM® Ultra Plus XC is a more robust formulation for volumizing and correcting deeper folds and wrinkles.
Can people with different skin tones/colors be treated with JUVÉDERM®?
Yes. In fact, JUVÉDERM® injectable gel is the first FDA-approved hyaluronic acid dermal filler that has proven its safety and effectiveness in persons of color. Studies with JUVÉDERM® showed no increased risk of hyperpigmentation or hypertrophic scarring in patients of color - Grimes PH, Thomas JA, Murphy DK. Safety and effectiveness of hyaluronic acid fillers in skin of color. J Cosmet Dermatol. 2009;8:162-168. Please see JUVÉDERM® Ultra, JUVÉDERM® Ultra Plus, JUVÉDERM® Ultra XC, and JUVÉDERM® Ultra Plus XC Patient Safety Information for more information.
How long does treatment usually take?
For a thorough consult and the injection process, please plan on an appointment time of 45-60 minutes.
What is hyaluronic acid?
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance found in all mammals that helps to hydrate and add volume to your skin. In addition to its use as an aesthetic treatment, hyaluronic acid has also been used for more than 20 years for injection into arthritic joints to aid movement as well as for eye surgeries and wound repair.
What is VOLBELLA?
Juvederm Volbella is an FDA-approved injectable added to the Juvéderm family of dermal fillers. This non-surgical lip augmentation treatment is designed to plump the lips and minimize the appearance of fine lines around the mouth, perioral lines, also known as “smoker’s lines” It may also be used to fill pitted acne scarring in the face. Unlike other fillers, Volbella blends different molecular weights of hyaluronic acid, which allows it to create subtle volume that lasts for up to a year.
What is VOLLURE?
Juvéderm Vollure XC is the newest addition to the Juvéderm family of fillers. Juvéderm Vollure XC is FDA-approved to use Vycross technology in the wrinkles around your nose and mouth, which also happens to be the number-one dermal treatment area. What’s exciting about Juvéderm Vollure XC is that it was shown to last up to 18 months from the initial or touch-up injection, which is the longest-lasting result shown in clinical studies.
What is VOLUMA?
Juvederm Voluma is the next generation of injectable fillers from Allergan Cosmetic. Voluma has been on the market since 2005 in Europe and like it’s sister product Juvederm, Voluma is made of hyaluronic acid, a sugar that occurs in our body naturally. Voluma is specially designed for true volumizing, with deep dermis injections of the product to volumize cheeks, cheekbones, and chin.
How does VOLUMA work?
Juvederm Voluma is indicated for volume loss in the mid cheek and central face. Due to fat and bone loss as we age the face can look sunken or hollow. Sun damage and aging further play a part in skin laxity and jowling. Juvederm Voluma can be combined with Botox, Juvederm Ultra Plus and skin resurfacing to achieve a non surgical facelift. For the younger person, Voluma in the hands of a skilled injector can enhance one’s beauty by creating soft, feminine features they may not have possessed before.
Is the treatment painful?
Lidocaine cream will be applied to the area of treatment. Ice can also be used as well. All Juvederm products contain Lidocaine as well which helps ease any discomfort with the injections.
Can men be treated?
Men can receive any filler product. Because men have different cheekbone structure than women, it is important to seek a skilled provider who is familiar with facial anatomy and possesses an artistic eye.
Can you combine VOLUMA with other treatments?
Yes1 You can combine all fillers.
How long is recovery?
Because Juvederm Voluma XC is injected with special needles or even blunt tip cannulas, most patients are able to return to their normal activities immediately.
How long does VOLUMA last?
Clinical trials show the volumizing results of Voluma to last up to 24 months.
