Juvederm is a dermal filler manufactured by Allergan, offering three main formulations:

Yes, all hyaluronic acid dermal fillers, such as Juvederm Voluma, Juvederm Ultra, Juvederm Ultra Plus, Restylane, Restylane Silk, Restylane Lyft, and Perlane, are compatible with each other.
Juvederm can be used to treat:
Also known as “smile lines”, the folds that start at the bottom of the nose and continue to the corners of the mouth.
Many patients develop these lines due to exposure to the sun, age, and simply because it’s the area on our face that moves the most. Many smokers often develop perioral lines, which appear just above and around the mouth.
These lines turn downward from the mouth and go to the chin.
The wrinkles that appear above the nose, just between the eyebrows. While most patients achieve their desired look with a single treatment, some may require additional injections to achieve a natural, long-lasting result.
Juvederm can restore volume loss in the cheeks and midface, enhancing facial contours and providing a subtle lift for a more youthful appearance.
Used to improve definition and projection in the chin, as well as contour the jawline for a more balanced and structured facial profile.
Helps reduce the appearance of dark circles and hollows beneath the eyes by restoring lost volume and smoothing the area.
Juvederm fills sunken or hollow temples to create a more youthful, rounded contour to the upper face.
To increase the volume of your lips and to help plump naturally thin lips.
This formula is most often used to treat sensitive areas of the lips and around the mouth.
This formula is a more robust formula that works well when treating the nasolabial folds.
Each Juvederm treatment begins with a thorough consultation, during which our provider assesses the patient’s facial anatomy, discusses aesthetic goals, and identifies areas of concern, such as deep lines, volume loss, or asymmetry. During this stage, our provider develops a personalized treatment plan tailored to enhance natural features while addressing visible signs of aging.
Before the procedure, the skin is cleansed to remove any oils or impurities. To minimize discomfort during treatment, a topical numbing cream is applied to the skin. In some instances, a local anesthetic may also be used, particularly when targeting more sensitive areas such as the lips or tear troughs. These preparatory steps ensure that the patient remains as comfortable as possible throughout the session.
After the injections, our provider may gently massage the treated areas to ensure even distribution of the filler. The results are evaluated immediately to confirm symmetry and balance. Since Juvederm is a hyaluronic acid-based filler, it integrates well with the skin, allowing for immediate yet refined improvements in facial contours.
The entire procedure typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the number and size of the treatment areas. Once complete, aftercare instructions are provided to help maintain optimal results. While the procedure itself is minimally invasive, it effectively targets early to moderate signs of aging, offering noticeable rejuvenation without the need for surgery.
For enhanced facial rejuvenation, Juvederm is often paired with a Botox treatment. While Juvederm restores lost facial volume and smooths deeper lines, Botox targets dynamic wrinkles caused by muscle movement, such as frown lines and crow’s feet. Combining the two can produce a more comprehensive and refreshed appearance by addressing both static and dynamic signs of aging.
Proper aftercare is crucial for supporting healing and maintaining optimal results after treatment with Juvéderm fillers. While the procedure is minimally invasive, following these guidelines can help reduce side effects and ensure the longevity of the outcome.
