Juvederm® is a type of injectable hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler that is used at a medspa to both correct facial wrinkles and folds and add volume to the lips and cheeks. This minimally invasive treatment option does not require anesthesia and often takes between 15 and 60 minutes to complete. Patients often notice the effects of the treatment right away, and results typically last up to one or two years depending on the particular product used. There are several types of fillers within the product line that are used on various parts of the face to achieve specific results depending on the patient’s needs.
Depending on what kind of treatment patients are looking for, there are five products patients can choose from to achieve the desired results:
When visiting a medspa, patients can discuss their expectations and the treating doctor can help determine which type of filler should be used.
As people age, the cheeks begin to naturally flatten and even start to sag. Patients can add volume to the cheeks using Juvederm® Voluma XC. This filler works by injecting hyaluronic acid into the cheek to improve plumpness and achieve a more youthful appearance. Sagging cheeks are lifted and contoured, resulting in skin that looks and feels firmer than before. While results vary for each individual, this particular filler can last up to two years before the treatment needs to be repeated. Juvederm® Voluma XC differs from surgical procedures such as fat grafting or a cheek lift.
Juvederm® XC and Juvederm® Vollure XC are both designed for patients with the goal of smoothing lines and wrinkles around the nose and eyes. While both of these fillers help soften nasolabial folds, Juvederm® Vollure XC uses a special Vycross cross-link process, which differs from the original Hylacross process used for its predecessor Juvederm® XC. This new filler can be injected more deeply into the skin to help battle especially severe folds and generally lasts longer. Patients can check with a medspa doctor to determine which of these two treatment options is appropriate depending on the patient’s specific needs.
Patients can enhance the appearance of lips using either Juvederm® Ultra XC or Juvederm® Volbella XC. As collagen declines with age, people often notice lips getting thinner. Patients seeking fuller lips can benefit from using Juvederm® Ultra XC. For patients who wish to add some volume to the lips and also minimize the appearance of vertical lip lines, Juvederm® Volbella XC can be used. Both types of fillers are designed to last up to a year.
Here are answers to some common questions patients have about Juvederm® treatment from a medspa.
The Juvederm® treatment process begins with a consultation to assess your treatment goals and determine the perfect plan to achieve your goals. The planning stage includes determining the area in which Juvederm® is placed. From there, we can perform the treatment. This is a non-invasive process that usually takes less than an hour.
Juvederm® is safe, and most patients do not experience any serious or lasting side effects. This is because the Juvederm® substance is naturally derived. With that said, there may be some mild symptoms related to the injection for a few days after treatment. The possible side effects include swelling, soreness, and redness of the skin.
Juvederm® results are temporary and not intended as a permanent or long-term treatment solution. However, many patients report the benefits of treatment lasting for up to a year. Results may vary, however, and it is important to discuss realistic expectations with your medspa Juvederm® provider before beginning treatment.
The results of Juvederm® look natural, and most patients are thrilled with the results. In addition, your provider can customize your treatment for a subtle or more dramatic look, depending on your goals and preferences.
Whether patients desire to smooth wrinkles around the nose and eyes or add some volume to their cheeks or lips, Juvederm® can help individuals address common signs of aging and achieve a more youthful appearance. Patients who wish to benefit from the effects of hyaluronic acid injections should consult with a medspa doctor to come up with a treatment plan.
