JUVÉDERM® encompasses a family of dermal fillers that all consist of hyaluronic acid. In the human body, natural hyaluronic acid provides volume and fullness to the skin and these dermal fillers have been modified slightly to last longer than the body’s own natural production. As discussed previously, these products do not contain animal proteins. This limits any risk of animal-based disease transmission or allergic reaction and, therefore, no skin test is required prior to treatment.
At our Reno med spa, JUVÉDERM® fillers can be an excellent and convenient way to maintain a youthful, elegant look with natural-looking volume enhancement. Below, you can learn about each JUVÉDERM® filler and how these products can help make the cheeks, lips, temples, jawline, or mid-face more youthful.
JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC is currently the only injectable filler of its kind to have received FDA approval for volume enhancement in the cheeks and midface for patients 21 and older. Composed of a hyaluronic acid-based solution, this revolutionary treatment is intended to correct age-related volume loss and restore a more youthful-looking fullness to the midfacial region. Additionally, it can often help smooth moderate lines and wrinkles in the targeted treatment area.
JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC does not require allergy testing prior to injection, and a local anesthetic contained within the filler’s solution can help diminish any discomfort that may potentially be experienced during treatment. Once injected, the filler’s volumizing effects generally appear immediately, and results have been clinically proven to last up to two years in many instances.
Non-surgical lip enhancement can be achieved with JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA® XC, a filler that is tailored to add strategic amounts of volume to thin or undefined lips. If you wish to achieve a softer pout, or if you would like to smooth vertical lip lines, JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA® XC offers effective results that can last up to one year.
Specially designed to target wrinkles and facial folds, JUVÉDERM VOLLURE® XC can smooth creases like marionette lines, nasolabial folds (parentheses wrinkles), and other fine lines around the nose and mouth. This smooth-consistency gel can provide a softer expression in areas affected by pronounced wrinkling by lifting the skin and adding natural-looking volume. Results can appear subtle, yet noticeable, and have been proven to last up to 18 months.
As another injectable used to treat the lips, JUVÉDERM® Ultra XC can plump areas that lack volume or simply add fullness to thin lips. The natural-looking augmentation provided by JUVÉDERM® Ultra XC can offer long-lasting results, and most patients report continued satisfaction as long as one year after their initial treatment.
