Over the last 20 years, dermal fillers have become an integral age-defying tool for millions of patients. According to the Plastic Surgery Statistic Report, in 2019, over 3.8 million people utilized soft tissue fillers to rejuvenate and enhance their appearance. This demand remained consistent throughout the pandemic, with 2020 reporting a robust 3.4 million injections with filler. These numbers illustrate how dermal fillers have proven to be a safe and effective way to turn back the clock on aging skin and accentuate your features. Allergan Aesthetic’s Juvéderm® family of fillers is the number one most requested collection worldwide. Here are the results patients can anticipate with each of the Juvéderm® fillers and the length of time you can expect to enjoy them!
AREA: Cheeks
FILLER: Juvéderm® Voluma® XC
HOW LONG IT LASTS: Up to 2 years with optimal treatment
HOW IT WORKS: As we age, our cheek area loses its youthful shape and volume. The cheeks flatten out, and the skin may begin to sag and appear gaunt or deflated. JUVEDERM® VOLUMA® XC injectable gel is designed to temporarily reverse these signs of aging. It is a hyaluronic acid gel that is injected into the cheek area to lift the skin. It temporarily adds volume to the cheek area and results in a smoother contour, more balanced features, and a more youthful appearance to the face.
AREA: Chin
FILLER: Juvéderm® Voluma XC®
HOW LONG IT LASTS: Up to 2 years with optimal treatment
HOW IT WORKS: JUVÉDERM® VOLUMA® XC is a hyaluronic acid gel that is injected into the chin area to increase chin projection and enhance facial balance and proportion. It temporarily adds volume to the chin area and results in an improved chin shape. The addition of lidocaine helps to improve the comfort of the injection by reducing sensitivity to pain.
AREA: Lines
FILLER(S): Juvéderm® Vollure® XC, Juvéderm® Ultra Plus XC
HOW LONG THEY LAST: Vollure® XC lasts up to 18 months with optimal treatment, and Ultra Plus lasts up to 1 year with optimal treatment
HOW THEY WORK: Over time, wrinkles develop on our faces due to collagen breakdown from repeated muscle movements, the natural aging process, and environmental damage. Areas where deeper wrinkles may be especially prevalent are our nasolabial folds, or the lines that run from the corners of our nostrils to the corners of our mouth (sometimes called parentheses). JUVÉDERM® VOLLURE® XC is designed to temporarily add volume to facial wrinkles to achieve a smoother and softer appearance to the face. The lidocaine in the gel improves the comfort of the injection by reducing sensitivity to pain.
JUVÉDERM® ULTRA PLUS XC is also a hyaluronic acid gel that is injected into areas of facial tissue where moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds occur to temporarily add volume to the skin and soften the surface of the skin or treated area, which may give the appearance of a smoother surface.
AREA: Lips
FILLERS: Juvéderm® Volbella® XC, Juvéderm® Ultra XC
HOW LONG THEY LAST: Volbella® and Ultra both last up to 1 year with optimal treatment
HOW THEY WORK: JUVÉDERM® VOLBELLA® XC is a transparent, super-soft hyaluronic acid gel that is injected directly into and around the lips using an ultra-fine needle to temporarily plump the lips for lip augmentation and smooth the appearance of fine lines around the mouth. The lidocaine gel improves the comfort of the injection by reducing sensitivity to pain.
JUVEDERM® Ultra XC is also a hyaluronic acid gel that is injected directly into and around the lips using a small needle to temporarily add the desired range of fullness for lip enhancement in adults over the age of 21. It is slightly more robust than Volbella®, allowing it to achieve fuller volume and definition to the lips. The lidocaine in the gel improves the comfort of the injection by reducing sensitivity to pain.
AREA: Undereyes
FILLER: Juvéderm® Volbella® XC
HOW LONG IT LASTS: Volbella® lasts up to one year with optimal treatment
HOW IT WORKS: JUVÉDERM® VOLBELLA® XC has recently received its FDA indication for use under the eyes. Its pillow-soft consistency makes it the perfect filler to smooth undereye hollows, diffuse dark circles, and restore a more refreshed, revitalized, and awake-looking eye area. Volbella® is injected using an ultra-fine needle and contains lidocaine to improve the comfort of the injection by reducing sensitivity to pain.
In many ways, the duration of your results with any dermal filler procedure is highly dependent on the experience and skill of your provider. Other factors, such as your metabolism, lifestyle, and whether or not Botox® is used in conjunction with your filler, may impact the longevity of your results.
