Juvéderm® is an injectable that restores facial contours with a short office visit. The FDA has approved these volumizing injections since June 2006. They’re made of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance found in the human body that helps maintain skin smoothness and hydration. As we age, we experience age-related volume loss in the facial tissue, leading to concerns such as nasolabial folds, smile lines, undereye hollows, and even severe temple hollowing.
Because hyaluronic acid is biocompatible, the risk of an allergic reaction is extremely low, making Juvéderm® a safe option for most patients. With multiple formulas available, this collection of injectable fillers allows your provider to tailor results to your cosmetic goals.
The Juvéderm collection comprises two main forms, the regular Juvéderm and the VOL type products. The VOL products include Volbella, Vollure and Voluma XC. The regular Juvéderm products include Juvéderm Ultra and Juvéderm Ultra Plus.
Juvéderm® Ultra is the thinnest of the hyaluronic acid dermal fillers by Allergan and is approved by the FDA for the correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds and is commonly used for fine lines, lip augmentation and other treatments. A skin test is not required prior to the use of any of the Juvéderm® family of products, because hyaluronic acid is a normal part of the skin, reducing the possibility of an allergic reaction.
A medium thickness injectable, Juvéderm® Ultra Plus is another way to help patients see renewal of the face’s natural contours in a short office visit. Dr. Jennifer Janiga or her associates will select the correct product based on the area that you would like to treat and the type of skin that you have for best results.
Before your Juvéderm treatment, you’ll meet with your provider to discuss your medical history, allergies, cosmetic goals, and the specific needs of your targeted area. This helps ensure you receive the most appropriate Juvéderm product, whether you need a softer gel for lip augmentation, extra structure for jawline definition, or a lifting effect in the cheek area. Your provider will also review potential side effects, including temporary redness, swelling, bruising, or rare but more serious side effects such as blood vessel compromise or vision abnormalities, so you understand the safety profile of injectable fillers and recieve the optimal treatment.
On the day of your appointment, we will apply a topical numbing medication to the desired treatment area. Once the medication has set for at least 30 minutes, the treatment will begin.
All dermal fillers, including Juvéderm Ultra and Ultra Plus, must be injected under the skin. Most formulas of Juvéderm contain a small amount of numbing medication which helps alleviate any discomfort from the injection.
Juvéderm appointment lengths vary depending on the number of treated areas, though the appointment should last no longer than 30-60 minutes.
Minimal bruising is normal with any skin fillers or facial injections, including Juvéderm Ultra and Juvéderm Ultra Plus. Bruising may last from three days up to seven days, depending on the size of the bruises as well as an individual’s healing rate. There will be some redness and swelling for up to three days. Mild discomfort may remain in the area for a day or two and can be relieved with your normal over-the-counter pain relievers.
Juvéderm treatment results last between six and 12 months, depending on the treated area. Your provider may recommend maintenance treatments to preserve your appearance and prevent severe skin volume loss from recurring. Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours, monitor for any unusual symptoms, and follow your aftercare instructions to support healing and reduce the risk of complications such as permanent scarring or more serious side effects.
