Juvederm is a brand of injectable dermal fillers that are used for cosmetic purposes to add volume to specific areas of the face, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. The primary active ingredient in Juvederm products is hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the skin that helps maintain moisture and elasticity.
Juvederm products are designed to address various aesthetic concerns, and they come in different formulations tailored for specific areas of the face. Some common Juvederm products include:
Juvederm XC: This formulation is often used to smooth moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as the nasolabial folds (lines from the nose to the corners of the mouth).
Juvederm Voluma XC: This product is specifically designed to add volume to the cheek area and correct age-related volume loss in the midface.
Juvederm Vollure XC: This filler is used to soften moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as parentheses lines around the mouth.
Juvederm Volbella XC: This formulation is primarily used for lip augmentation and to smooth vertical lip lines (perioral lines).
Juvederm Ultra XC and Juvederm Ultra Plus XC: These products are used for lip augmentation and to smooth moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds.
Juvederm injections are typically administered by trained healthcare professionals, such as dermatologists or plastic surgeons. The treatment is considered minimally invasive, and results are usually visible immediately after the procedure. The effects of Juvederm are temporary, and the duration varies depending on the specific product used, individual factors, and the treatment area. Typically, results can last from several months to over a year.
