What Is JUVÉDERM?
JUVÉDERM is a family of dermal fillers used to address signs of aging or improve facial contours. Different JUVÉDERM products can be used for various areas of the face like the lips, cheeks, and jawline. Each product is made with hyaluronic acid, but they have different characteristics that make them suitable for specific cosmetic goals.
The Basics of JUVÉDERM
Hyaluronic acid is a substance that is found naturally in your body. It is a lubricating substance that is present in the skin, the eyes, the joints, and more. Because it is naturally occurring, the hyaluronic acid in JUVÉDERM fillers is biocompatible. The synthetic form is also cross-linked to create a gel that holds its shape under the skin while attracting water for additional volume. These properties make it perfect for injecting into wrinkles or areas where you would like lift and volume.
JUVÉDERM’s Unique Formulation
The Addition of Lidocaine
JUVÉDERM was the first hyaluronic acid filler to incorporate lidocaine, a local anesthetic. This addition enhances patient comfort during and after the injection process by numbing the treated area. Look for the “XC” in the product name since these are the products that contain lidocaine.
The Use of VYCROSS® Technology
JUVÉDERM uses VYCROSS® technology, which involves homogenizing hyaluronic acid during manufacturing to create a smoother gel. This process allows the filler to spread evenly and integrate naturally with the surrounding tissues. For patients, this means more seamless results, a more comfortable injection experience, and longer-lasting effects compared to other formulations.
A Wide Variety of Options
- JUVÉDERM VOLUX® XC: Designed to enhance jawline definition, VOLUX XC provides structure and volume to create a more sculpted appearance on the lower face.
- JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC: This filler adds volume to the cheeks and mid-face, restoring youthful contours and addressing age-related volume loss.
- JUVÉDERM ULTRA PLUS XC: Ideal for smoothing deeper facial folds and wrinkles, ULTRA PLUS XC is commonly used for areas like nasolabial folds and marionette lines.
- JUVÉDERM ULTRA XC: Often used as a JUVÉDERM lip filler, ULTRA XC adds subtle volume to the lips and smooths mild to moderate facial lines.
- JUVÉDERM VOLLURE® XC: VOLLURE XC provides long-lasting results for lines and wrinkles while maintaining natural facial expressions.
- JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA® XC: Specifically designed for lip augmentation and perioral lines, VOLBELLA XC delivers subtle enhancements and a smoother lip texture.
The Unique Properties of JUVÉDERM Fillers
Cohesivity
Cohesivity refers to how well the filler holds together after injection. Each filler in the JUVÉDERM line is designed with specific cohesivity levels to keep the gel in place and provide the desired structure. This property is particularly important for areas requiring defined contours, such as the jawline or cheeks.
Lift Capacity
Lift capacity is the gel’s ability to provide support after injection. VOLUMA has the highest lift capacity among midface fillers and is perfect for cheek augmentation. For the jawline, VOLUX offers the highest lift capacity among dermal fillers, delivering a more defined and structured appearance in areas that need extra support.
Filler Distribution
JUVÉDERM offers the benefit of a wide range of spreadability. These fillers range from highly spreadable options like VOLBELLA, which delivers soft and subtle volume for areas like the lips, to less spreadable fillers like VOLUX, which are better suited for precise contouring. JUVÉDERM treatments are more customizable than many other fillers, giving us more flexibility to fit the product to our patients.
Firmness and Elasticity
JUVÉDERM fillers adapt well to facial movements. Firmer fillers, such as VOLUX, maintain more structure in areas like the jawline, but more elastic options, like ULTRA XC, allow for smooth and natural results in dynamic areas like the lips. If you are looking for a filler that will look natural under your skin, JUVÉDERM has many options for you.
Water Affinity
Water affinity describes how much water the filler attracts after injection. Higher water affinity enhances hydration and plumpness, which is particularly beneficial for fillers like VOLBELLA and ULTRA XC which are used in lip and fine line treatments. JUVÉDERM fillers can help hydrate the skin while allowing for a natural-looking and refreshed appearance.
How Does JUVÉDERM Compare to Other Fillers?
JUVÉDERM fillers tend to have a smoother consistency than other hyaluronic acid fillers thanks to the VYCROSS technology used during manufacturing. This family of products also has a longer track record than other products. This line prides itself on innovation, always staying at the forefront of new developments in the cosmetic industry. It features some of the longest-lasting HA products on the market, with results enduring for up to two years.
