Juvéderm®

Juvéderm® is available at both Central Texas Dermatology and Skin Care Austin!

Juvéderm® Injectable Gel is the “next generation” of dermal fillers. Created by Allergan — the manufacturer of BOTOX® — Juvéderm provides a smooth, long-lasting correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds. The FDA has recently approved Juvéderm Ultra XC for injection into the lips and perioral area for lip augmentation with results lasting up to one year.

Types of Juvederm

There are multiple products within the Juvéderm family that are designed for different uses:

Juvéderm Ultra: The original Juvedérm formula, Ultra is ideal for treating moderate lines and wrinkles, provides limited contouring and scar correction, and moderate lip enhancement. Results typically can last up to 9 months.

Juvéderm Voluma: The first and only hyaluronic acid (HA) based dermal filler approved by the FDA to instantly increase the volume of the cheeks. Results last up to 2 years with fill correction.

Juvéderm Volbella: A hyaluronic acid gel-based filler that uses patented Vycross technology to smooth lip lines and other fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth. Results last up to 12 months after treatment.

Treatment

A topical anesthetic is applied, then a small amount of Juvéderm is injected under the skin with an ultrafine needle. The process takes approximately 20 minutes, plus consultation time before treatment begins. Results are immediate, and downtime is minimal.

Juvéderm typically provides optimal results with a single treatment. Juvéderm is the only hyaluronic acid (HA) filler FDA approved to last up to one year.

Precautions

You may briefly experience reactions common to any injection: mild irritation, swelling, itching, bruising, or tenderness. These conditions usually resolve quickly on their own.
