Juvederm Fillers Overview
All Juvederm fillers are hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers.
The vast majority of medical providers and patients prefer this because hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the skin.
In regards to aesthetics, hyaluronic acid helps give our skin volume and hydration.
As we age, our bodies produce less hyaluronic acid, leading to the development of wrinkles and a loss of volume in the skin.
Juvederm works by adding back lost hyaluronic acid, restoring volume and smoothness to the skin.
Overall, the Juvederm collection of fillers is a popular choice for individuals looking to improve the appearance of their skin and reduce the signs of aging. With a range of products to address specific concerns and treatment areas, Juvederm can help restore volume and smoothness to the skin, giving a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.
The Juvéderm line of fillers includes five unique formulations—Juvéderm Voluma XC, Juvéderm XC, Juvéderm Vollure XC, Juvéderm Ultra XC, and Juvéderm Volbella XC. Their latest innovation, Juvéderm Volux, is specifically designed to enhance the jawline. Each product is tailored to address various facial areas and depths, ensuring customized treatment for every patient.
How Juvederm Fillers Works
Juvéderm is a non-surgical cosmetic filler that revitalizes your skin by using hyaluronic acid found in the body naturally. Its main role is to restore lost volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. As we age, our skin produces less hyaluronic acid, resulting in reduced elasticity and the emergence of fine lines.
During a Juvéderm treatment, a skilled professional injects a gel-like hyaluronic acid formula into specific areas of the skin with a fine needle. This replenishes the skin’s natural hyaluronic acid levels, adding immediate volume and improving moisture. The result? A noticeable reduction in signs of aging, with skin that looks hydrated and plump.

It effectively smooths wrinkles and facial folds, treating aging hands, acne scars, frown lines, sunken eyes, crow’s feet, forehead lines, nasal labial folds (nose-to-mouth lines), and marionette lines (mouth-to-chin lines). Juvéderm also adds volume to the cheeks, fullness to the chin, and definition to the jawline.

Juvederm Voluma is used to add volume to the face and smooth out wrinkles and folds.
It is made of hyaluronic acid and is used to treat a variety of concerns, including volume loss in the cheek area, jowling, and folds around the nose and mouth.
Voluma has also been FDA-approved to improve the appearance of the chin and jawline. This means that adding appropriate volume to the mid-face (cheeks) can now also be accompanied by adding contours to the lower face (chin and jawline) that enhance the results.
One of the main advantages of Juvederm Voluma is that it provides natural-looking results. Unlike some other dermal fillers, which can leave the skin looking puffy or overfilled, Juvederm Voluma is designed to provide a subtle yet noticeable lift and contour to the face.
This is precisely why Juvederm Voluma has become so popular, as restoring volume lost to the mid-face (cheeks) creates a youthful appearance.

What To Expect During a Juvederm Treatment
First, the practitioner will clean the targeted area with an antibacterial cleanser to ensure it’s completely sanitized. To minimize any discomfort, a topical numbing cream will be applied. Once the area is prepared, the practitioner will use a fine syringe to inject the Juvéderm filler into the desired areas for enhancement. Most patients find the procedure quite tolerable, experiencing minimal pain or discomfort, thanks to the numbing cream and precise injection techniques.
What To Expect After a Juvederm Treatment
It’s common to experience mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites following your Juvéderm treatment. These side effects usually subside within a few days. To help reduce swelling, you can apply ice or cold packs to the affected areas. Also, avoid excessive sun exposure, saunas, and intense physical activities for a few days after your treatment. While you may see immediate improvements, it may take a few days for the full results to become apparent as any initial swelling diminishes.
