Our facial features change over time. As we age, we gradually lose volume in our faces, leading to the formation of wrinkles and the sagging of skin. While these changes can’t be prevented entirely, they can be minimized with the proper care and attention. At McLean Dermatology, we offer JUVÉDERM® dermal filler treatments to alleviate volume loss and restore the plumpness of your skin. Schedule an appointment to learn more today.
What Are JUVÉDERM® Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers like JUVEDERM® are made of hyaluronic acid (HA). This substance acts as a safe option for improving your skin’s volume when collagen loss has taken its toll. Treatment with hyaluronic products typically takes less than one hour (individual treatment times may vary). Generally, there is little to no downtime associated with treatment. We offer several JUVEDERM® filler options, including:
- JUVÉDERM® XC & ULTRA PLUS – is made up of hyaluronic acid and can last up to 14-18 months. This product is great for more severe wrinkles, such as parenthesis lines around the mouth. JUVÉDERM can also be used to plump up your lips, the results are instant, and your lips will look more naturally full.
- JUVÉDERM® VOLUMA™ XC – As we age, the skin can sag, and the face can appear to be hollow. Voluma can fill in those areas for a more youthful look. Voluma™ can give the appearance of a more firm, plump, and contoured look, especially in the mid-face.
- JUVÉDERM® VOLLURE™ XC – Can reduce smile lines and improve volume in the face to give a more youthful glow. Approves texture and overall smoothness of the face.
- JUVÉDERM® VOLBELLA™ XC – A lighter filler used to contour and fill around the mouth for a softer result.
What to Expect During Treatment
This is not a surgical treatment, rather, it’s a simple set of quick injections. Treatment with JUVÉDERM® injectable gels can take 15-60 minutes, depending on which area of your face is being treated. You might feel a pinch during the injections, but no excessive discomfort should occur.
JUVÉDERM® Dermal Filler Results
Results from these treatments can be seen almost immediately and may last 1-2 years. These results may vary depending on the specific issue treated and the chosen filler used. Some side effects can be experienced, so discussing post-treatment guidelines during your initial consultation is important.
Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is JUVÉDERM®, and how does it restore youthful facial volume?
JUVÉDERM® is a family of non-surgical dermal fillers made from hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the body that retains moisture. When injected, it physically plumps up areas experiencing age-related collagen loss, instantly smoothing out deep wrinkles, filling in hollow regions, and restoring a firm, youthful volume to the skin.
What are the differences between Voluma, Vollure, and Volbella?
Each JUVÉDERM® product has a unique consistency tailored for specific facial areas. Voluma™ XC is a thicker gel designed to lift and contour sagging cheeks and the mid-face. Vollure™ XC is formulated to smooth moderate-to-severe smile lines around the mouth, while Volbella™ XC is a much lighter filler ideal for subtle, soft lip plumping and fine lines.
Is the injection procedure painful, and how long do the results typically last?
The treatment is quick, taking between 15 to 30 minutes, and involves only a minor pinching sensation with minimal downtime. While initial plumping is visible almost immediately, the long-lasting results can endure anywhere from 1 to 2 years, depending on the specific filler product used and the area treated.
