Juvéderm Family of Fillers

Juvéderm is a natural dermal filler that actually fills facial wrinkles and folds for non-surgical wrinkle treatment. Made from a smooth consistency, water-soluble substance that is already present in your skin called hyaluronic acid, Juvéderm restores volume to your skin and smooths wrinkles. Juvéderm wrinkle treatment can help you look younger and more relaxed without surgery. Juvéderm is also used for lip enhancement.

The wrinkle-reducing effects of Juvéderm injections are not permanent, but results are instant. Although results vary, they typically last six months or longer, and can be repeated as necessary. Juvéderm is injected into the skin with thin needles, causing facial wrinkles and folds to be “filled,” adding volume to areas that have become creased as a result of aging. The injection process takes only about 10 minutes, and most patients do not need anesthesia, although a topical anesthetic can be applied, if desired.

All Juvéderm fillers are made of cross-linked hyaluronic acid molecules to form an injectable gel. Some Juvéderm fillers are comprised of hyaluronic acid particles that are of the same molecular weight. These include Juvéderm XC, Juvéderm Ultra XC, and Juvéderm Ultra Plus XC. These fillers are commonly used to plump lips and earlobes and to reduce the appearance of moderate to severe parentheses lines that run from the nose to the corners of the mouth. Juvéderm treatments can also treat marionette lines and other wrinkles around the mouth and nose.

Juvéderm fillers that begin with Vol-, such as Juvéderm Volbella, Juvéderm Voluma, and Juvéderm Vollure, are made with a patented Vycross technology that cross-links hyaluronic acid molecules of higher and lower weights. These subtle differences contribute to each Juvéderm filler’s unique formulation and capabilities.

Juvéderm Volbella is an injectable filler based on hyaluronic acid (HA) that provides a desirable improvement in the lip contour, boosting volume, smoothing vertical creases (smoker’s lines), and achieving symmetry – all in a single comfortable treatment. Designed not only for gentle restoration of natural looking lip volume, it can also be used for defining lip contours, treating oral commissures, smoothing fine “barcode” lines around the lips and supporting the “marionette” lines down the chin. Volbella lip injections are recommended for smoother, softer consistency that mimics the natural feel of your lips for a longer time.

Juvéderm Volbella lip injections can:

• Diminish vertical lip lines (a.k.a. smoker’s lines),
• Accentuate the border of your lips,
• Plump up your lips to make them fuller, and
• Enhance the cupid’s bow (the “M” part of your mid-upper lip)

Developed using Allergan’s proprietary Vycross technology, Volbella with lidocaine is formulated with an innovative combination of low- and high-molecular weight technology, which improves the cross-linking efficiency of HA chains. This more effective cross-linking allows for a lower concentration of HA to be used, which results in less swelling. The Vycross technology delivers an ultra-smooth gel, which results in a natural look and feel, as well as improved duration.

This unique technology allows the product to absorb less water, resulting in considerably reduced swelling compared to more traditional fillers. Not only is there less downtime, the treatment itself is made as pain free as possible by the built-in lidocaine anesthetic. Results are commonly seen to last up to twelve months.

There is virtually no swelling or bruising, so normal daily activities can be resumed immediately after the treatment. You will be provided with an ice pack to take home, which lessens the redness and swelling.

When it comes to maintaining a youthful look, it’s not just about lines and wrinkles. Smooth contours, full cheeks and a straight jawline typically define a youthful face. The overall shape and contour of the face, however, changes with age. The skin becomes thinner and the effects of gravity become apparent. Juvéderm Voluma is specially designed to restore lost fullness and enhance the cheeks and chin for a more youthful look. Using hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring sugar found in your body, Juvéderm Voluma delivers a smooth, natural lift that lasts for up to two years.

Juvéderm Vollure filler is often described as smooth, like honey, and thus is used in areas such as the forehead, lips, and the back of hands where a soft appearance is wanted. After Juvéderm Vollure is injected, it easily spreads to give a very natural smooth appearance to the treated area. Juvéderm Vollure is medium in thickness and spreadability.

Juvéderm dermal fillers are one of the best ways to combat signs of aging in Savannah and Statesboro, Georgia. This is because Juvéderm fillers do not require incisions or lengthy downtime. This means you don’t have to put your life on hold for treatment. Injections are also generally pain-free and produce few side effects. In fact, many people schedule Juvéderm fillers during their lunch break. Patients at RenewalMD are so happy with their results that they commit to a personalized treatment plans moving forward.
