JUVÉDERM® is a cosmetic treatment used to volumize cheeks, smooth parentheses lines, smooth vertical lip lines, or plump the lips. This hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler was first approved by the FDA in 2006 and has been safely used in millions of patients.
JUVÉDERM is a non-surgical treatment that takes between 15-60 minutes. Results start to appear right away and may last 1-2 years.

JUVÉDERM Voluma® XC FAQ’s
Juvederm™ Ultra and Ultra Plus is a “next generation” hyaluronic acid – smooth gel dermal filler. It is different from others on the market because it is a “smooth gel” that flows consistently into the skin, causing wrinkles and folds to easily “smooth away” with the restored volume to the skin. The Ultra Plus formula is more robust and allows for more versatility in treating deeper wrinkles and folds.
Juvéderm® is used to correct areas around the mouth and lips that need to be rejuvenated.
There is no risk of hyper-pigmentation and hyper-tropic scarring.
Botox is a muscle relaxant that is generally used in the upper facial area to relax the parallel line area between the eyes.
Hyaluronic Acid is substance which occurs naturally in all mammals and helps to keep the skin hydrated. With aging hyaluronic acid production slows down and lines, wrinkles and folds appear. Cross-linking is a unique manufacturing process. It is what makes Juvéderm® effective and longer lasting.
Because Juvederm is a smooth gel – it flows easily and consistently into the skin. This causes little to no discomfort like other dermal fillers because they are granular.
A treatment generally takes 15-30 minutes.
