Patients who are seeking smoother, fuller facial skin can see significant improvements when they select a dermal filler to restore their lost facial volume and reduce fine lines, folds, and wrinkles. Non-surgical approaches to addressing facial skin concerns include products from JUVÉDERM®, which offers a wide range of formulations that can assist in decreasing the signs of aging. These minimally invasive treatments are quickly administered and require zero downtime so you can resume daily activities immediately following your treatment and enjoy long-lasting results.

JUVÉDERM® Options

Dermal filler treatments are derived from hyaluronic acid, which is a substance naturally produced by the body, and are designed to hydrate the tissues, add nutrients, and act as a cushion for the skin.

JUVÉDERM® Ultra XC

This plumping blend of hyaluronic acid and lidocaine (to numb the skin for a comfortable procedure) addresses tissues around the nasolabial folds, which are the lines that start at the nose and stretch down to the mouth, commonly referred to as laugh or smile lines. JUVÉDERM® Ultra XC can also improve lip lines, smooth creases on the corners of the mouth, reduce forehead wrinkles, and restore lip volume.

JUVÉDERM® Ultra Plus

JUVÉDERM® Ultra Plus can correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles, deep folds, nasolabial folds, and lines that begin at the corners of the mouth and run down to the jawline (also known as marionette lines) by filling shallow and depressed areas on the face. This treatment can also be used as a hand rejuvenation option.

JUVÉDERM VOLLURE™ XC

This smoothing formula of hyaluronic acid and lidocaine (to reduce discomfort) can typically treat moderate to severe lower facial lines (especially around the sides of the mouth), nasolabial folds, and marionette lines. Results from this treatment can last for up to 18 months.

JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA® XC

JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA® XC can help restore youthful volume to the lips, definition to the contours of the lower face, and can correct fine lines, such as vertical lip lines. The formula contains lidocaine and the techniques used help avoid swelling. After one treatment, the results can last for up to 12 months.

JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC

JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC is created to add volume to the face, specifically to the cheeks. Ideal for a visible decrease in volume or mild sagging, this injectable gel can provide subtle enhancement and improved definition. Most patients have results that last for up to 18 months.

Candidates

Any individual concerned with the appearance of their facial wrinkles or depleted features can be an ideal candidate for injectables. These treatments are comprised of hyaluronic acid that is naturally found in the body and are typically well tolerated.

Procedure

A topical numbing agent or ice can be used at the injection site for added comfort. The recommended formulation is administered, and the gel begins to plump the areas of your face that have lost fullness. Wrinkles are smoothed out, and volume is restored to the skin. Your results will be visible immediately.

Recovery

As a non-invasive procedure, JUVÉDERM® treatment does not require any downtime or recovery period. Minor swelling, soreness, bruising, and redness may occur but should diminish within three days. Some patients choose to take the rest of the day off to relax and resume their regular routine the following day. Avoid rubbing or applying pressure to the injection area for the first 24 hours unless there are visible lumps.

Results

As any side effects wear off, the skin should appear smoother, tighter, and more youthful. The outcome is usually long-lasting, and additional treatments can be applied as needed.
