Juvederm Vollure

Juvederm dermal fillers have become some of the most popular innovations in cosmetic dermatology for facial rejuvenation. As we age, we lose collagen and elastin, which decreases skin elasticity and contributes to the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. One of the most effective ways to restore lost facial volume is through dermal fillers. Dr. Green uses a variety of dermal fillers, including Juvederm Vollure, for cosmetic enhancement. Unlike plastic surgery, dermal fillers provide immediate, long-lasting results with minimal downtime, allowing patients to integrate dermal filler treatments into their busy lives easily. Juvederm Vollure has become a preferred option among dermal fillers, as it is one of the longest-lasting choices available, lasting up to 18 months. As a platinum Allergan injector, Dr. Green was among the first providers in New York City to incorporate Juvederm dermal fillers into her patients’ treatment plans to achieve smooth, youthful-looking skin.

Juvederm Vollure, one of the newer Juvederm dermal fillers, is a unique, long-lasting hyaluronic acid filler that replaces lost collagen, reverses signs of aging, replenishes lost volume, and creates plump, kissable lips with enduring results. This filler is FDA-approved for correcting moderate to severe nasolabial folds and marionette lines, though it is often used off-label for lip enhancement. Juvederm Vollure utilizes patented Vycross technology, which preserves hyaluronic acid in a cohesive gel, allowing Dr. Green to define and contour the treated area with lasting, beautiful results that create a naturally youthful appearance. With no downtime or adverse side effects, it’s no wonder that people choose Juvederm Vollure for their treatments. Whether you’re looking to correct prominent nasolabial folds, marionette lines, or thin lips, expert cosmetic injector Dr. Green is here to help.

Dr. Michele Green is a world-renowned, board-certified cosmetic dermatologist with over 25 years of experience treating discerning men and women using the latest innovative non-invasive treatments, including Juvederm Vollure injections. She is consistently recognized as one of NYC’s top dermatologists by Castle Connolly, Super Doctors, New York Magazine, and The New York Times due to her dedication to her patients and expertise. Dr. Green embraces a “less is more” philosophy, providing a subtle yet beautiful enhancement to the face to ensure that your Juvederm Vollure XC injections will never look “overdone.” When you consult with Dr. Green in her private Upper East Side dermatology office, she will evaluate your specific facial anatomy and skin concerns to help you achieve smooth, radiant results.

What is Juvederm Vollure XC?

Juvederm Vollure is an FDA-approved dermal filler designed to correct age-related lines and wrinkles while enhancing facial volume. Like other products in the Juvederm family, Juvederm Vollure is made of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance that hydrates and plumps the skin, thereby reducing the appearance of wrinkles. Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers also stimulate collagen production in the treated areas, resulting in smoother skin. Juvederm Vollure is incredibly popular for its ability to create facial rejuvenation with long-lasting results. In clinical trials, patients reported that Juvederm Vollure lasts up to 18 months. Patients can engage in regular treatment sessions with Juvederm Vollure to maintain and enhance the results of treatment, achieving natural, youthful-looking outcomes.

What is Vollure XC used for?

Juvederm Vollure XC effectively addresses moderate to severe lines and wrinkles related to aging and volume loss, especially around the midface and lower face. Juvederm Vollure utilizes a proprietary Vycross technology that combines hyaluronic acid into a cohesive gel, allowing it to mold and remain stable after being injected into the skin. Thanks to the combination of high- and low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acids (HA), Juvederm Vollure can attract and retain moisture while providing a lifting effect in various facial areas. This technology also guarantees that Juvederm Vollure remains highly stable, resulting in reduced swelling and discomfort. Upon injection, Juvederm Vollure restores lost volume and contours the face, leading to smoother, more youthful-looking skin.

Where is Juvederm Vollure injected?

Juvederm Vollure injectable treatments are FDA-approved to reduce the visibility of moderate to severe wrinkles in the nasolabial folds, also known as smile lines, which appear around the nose and mouth, as well as the marionette lines extending down the chin from the corners of the mouth. Many providers use Juvederm Vollure off-label to add volume to the lips, eliminate perioral lines (lines around the mouth), reduce undereye hollowness, and enhance the jawline. Using an off-label product means that the FDA has not specifically approved it for that area, so it is essential to consult an experienced provider, such as Dr. Green, to ensure that the treatment is both safe and effective.

Who is a good candidate for Juvederm Vollure?

A good candidate for Juvederm Vollure is a healthy individual aged 21 or older who is experiencing deep lines and wrinkles, such as nasolabial lines and marionette lines, or who wishes to subtly enhance lip volume and improve the texture of their lips. You should avoid Juvederm Vollure injections if you are allergic to lidocaine or gram-positive bacterial proteins used to create hyaluronic acid, have a history of severe allergies (anaphylaxis), are prone to bleeding or have a bleeding disorder, or have a history of scarring or pigmentation disorders. Additionally, patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding should refrain from Juvederm Vollure injections, as its safety has not yet been established. Dr. Green will carefully review your medical history prior to any cosmetic injections to ensure you are an appropriate candidate and minimize the risk of infection.

What is the procedure for Juvederm Vollure injections?

The first step in receiving Juvederm Vollure treatment is a consultation with Dr. Michele Green at her private dermatology office in New York City. Dr. Green will gather a comprehensive medical history, review your previous cosmetic treatments, evaluate your skin, and determine if Juvederm Vollure is the right dermal filler for you. Medical photography will be taken to facilitate your discussion and monitor future progress. Depending on your preference and availability, treatment can be conducted on the same day as your consultation or scheduled for a later date.

To minimize bruising, Dr. Green recommends avoiding blood thinners such as Advil, Aleve, and Motrin, as well as fish oil and vitamin E, for at least a week before cosmetic injections. If you are naturally prone to bruising, consider taking Arnica, a natural herbal supplement, several days before your appointment to reduce unwanted bruising. On the day of your procedure, a topical anesthetic cream will be applied to the treatment areas one hour prior to your appointment to minimize discomfort during the injections. Upon arrival at the office, the cream will be wiped off, and the skin will be sterilized for treatment. Dr. Green will expertly inject Juvederm Vollure into the targeted area.

Immediately after the injection, Dr. Green will apply ice packs to the treatment area to minimize bruising and swelling. Dr. Green will then provide you with important aftercare instructions to follow. Dr. Green may schedule a follow-up appointment two weeks later to assess your results and perform any necessary touch-ups. As Dr. Green adheres to the “less is more” approach to treatment, the follow-up appointment can be an opportunity to enhance the filler that has already settled if you are seeking a more dramatic transformation.

Is there any downtime after Juvederm Vollure treatment?

Juvederm Vollure treatment is noninvasive, meaning there is no recovery time following the procedure. This makes it the perfect “lunchtime” treatment for quick skin rejuvenation and plumping. It is advisable to avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, hot tubs, or intense sun exposure for 48 hours after receiving dermal fillers, as exercising can contribute to swelling following cosmetic injections. Additionally, heat and sunlight can lead to increased swelling and pigmentation if the skin is exposed immediately after Juvederm filler injections. To minimize bruising, patients should refrain from blood-thinning medications, including Advil, Aleve, Motrin, multivitamins, fish oil, and vitamin E, for at least one week after the procedure. Those taking Arnika herbal supplements should continue for another three to four days to help prevent bruising and facilitate healing.

What are the side effects of Vollure fillers?

Generally, there are no side effects of Vollure filler injections. The most common side effects are mild and temporary and include:

• Bruising
• Swelling
• Localized pain or tenderness
• Itching
• Discoloration
• Lumps/bumps
• Redness
• Tenderness

Rare but serious side effects from Juvederm treatment include allergic reactions, keloids, herpes simplex, and superficial necrosis at the treatment site. Unintentional injection of Juvederm into a blood vessel can also lead to serious complications. To ensure your Juvederm is safe and effective, it’s essential to consult with a board-certified dermatologist, such as expert injector Dr. Green. With over 25 years of experience using dermal fillers like Juvederm Vollure for facial rejuvenation, Dr. Green will help deliver the best cosmetic injectable results.

How long does Juvederm Vollure last?

Patients will notice an immediate improvement in the treatment area after the procedure. It takes approximately two weeks for the filler to settle into place fully. After that, results can last for up to 18 months, making it one of the longest-lasting FDA-approved hyaluronic dermal fillers for smile lines. The filler injections may be repeated once the treatment’s effects fade. As a result, many patients go through the treatment process every 12 months or so. When you consult with Dr. Green in her private Upper East Side dermatology office, she will create an optimal injection schedule tailored to your aesthetic goals, helping you achieve consistently smooth, hydrated, and youthful-looking skin.

What other fillers are part of the Juvederm hyaluronic acid filler collection?

Juvederm Vollure XC is a highly popular hyaluronic acid filler used to restore volume loss in the nasolabial folds and marionette lines. In addition to the midface, patients often experience volume loss in the cheeks, jawline, lips, and chin. Other Juvederm products can be combined with Juvederm Vollure for comprehensive pan-facial rejuvenation. Additional Juvederm fillers used to restore volume and definition in the face include:

• Juvederm Voluma XC features a thick formulation of hyaluronic acid, which is ideal for restoring lost facial volume in the cheeks, minimizing the appearance of hollows and jowls along the jawline, and reducing dimpling in the chin. Juvederm Voluma can last for 12 months or longer.
• Juvederm Ultra XC is designed to address volume loss in the nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and smile lines. It is also frequently used on the lips to lessen perioral lines and create a fuller, plumper pout. Juvederm Ultra can last for 9 to 12 months in the treated area.
• Juvederm Ultra Plus XC is the original Juvederm filler intended for treating moderate to severe facial folds and wrinkles. This filler employs Vycross technology to fill in facial folds and enhance lip volume. Like Juvederm Ultra, results from Juvederm Ultra Plus can last for 9 to 12 months.
• Juvederm Volbella XC is the thinnest filler in the Juvederm collection, making it excellent for providing subtle yet natural-looking results in the treated area. Designed to smooth lines around the lips, Juvederm Volbella enhances the natural shape, volume, and definition of the lips. This filler can remain in the skin for up to 12 months.
• Juvederm Volux XC is a recent addition to the Juvederm collection, FDA-approved for contouring and defining the jawline. This thick filler offers structural support to the injection site and can last for up to 12 months.
• SkinVive by Juvederm is a unique filler designed to enhance hydration and smoothness in the cheeks. Its formulation contains hyaluronic acid microdroplets to boost moisture retention in the skin. SkinVive can last up to 6 months in the injected area.

Juvederm Vollure FAQs:

Who manufactures Vollure?

Juvederm Vollure, part of the popular Juvederm family of hyaluronic acid dermal fillers, was developed and manufactured by Allergan Aesthetics, a global pharmaceutical company and part of AbbVie Company.

Does Juvederm Vollure contain hyaluronic acid?

Yes! Juvederm Vollure is a hyaluronic acid-based filler designed to restore volume lost in the treated area. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body that is essential for maintaining skin hydration and suppleness. When injected into the skin, hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvederm Vollure provide immediate volume restoration and correct wrinkles and folds. One of the benefits of Juvederm Vollure is its unique type of cross-linking of hyaluronic acid molecules, which slows the filler’s breakdown within the skin and allows it to last longer than other hyaluronic acid fillers. It typically lasts up to 18 months in the injection area. Additionally, Juvederm Vollure contains lidocaine, an anesthetic that ensures a comfortable injection process.

What is Juvederm Vollure filler used for?

Juvederm Vollure XC is FDA-approved for correcting moderate to severe wrinkles, creating a smoother and more youthful appearance in the mid-face and lower face. As we age, the production of structural proteins such as collagen and elastin declines, leading to increased skin laxity, loss of facial volume, and the development of fine lines and wrinkles. Juvederm Vollure XC targets these signs of natural aging by filling in wrinkles, restoring lost volume, and enhancing the lower and mid-face, providing patients with a smooth, symmetrical, and natural look. Juvederm Vollure delivers quick and long-lasting results, making it highly popular for facial rejuvenation and “liquid facelifts.”

Do Juvederm injections hurt?

Not at all! Juvederm Vollure XC is formulated with lidocaine, which helps to minimize discomfort and makes the injections considerably more pleasant. Dr. Green will also recommend applying a thick layer of topical numbing cream to the treatment area one hour before the cosmetic injection. Additionally, Dr. Green is highly experienced in cosmetic injections, and the entire procedure typically takes just a few minutes to complete. After your injections, an ice pack will be placed on the injection site to lessen localized swelling.

Is Juvederm Vollure safe?

Yes, Juvederm Vollure XC injectable gel is very safe and was FDA-approved in 2017 for treating moderate to severe wrinkles in the nasolabial folds and marionette lines. This injectable filler has undergone numerous controlled clinical studies, demonstrating its safety and effectiveness in facial rejuvenation. It is essential to consult with an experienced, licensed healthcare professional for cosmetic injections, such as Juvederm Vollure, to minimize the risks of side effects and achieve optimal cosmetic results. Several contraindications should be considered before receiving Juvederm Vollure injections. Individuals who are allergic to lidocaine or Gram-positive bacterial proteins used in these products, or those who have had prior allergic reactions to hyaluronic acid fillers, should avoid Juvederm Vollure injections. Additionally, Juvederm Vollure is not deemed safe for pregnant or breastfeeding women, as there is currently insufficient research. When consulting with Dr. Green in her private office in New York City, she will evaluate your medical history and confirm that Juvederm injections are safe for you.

How much does Juvederm Vollure cost?

Pricing for Juvederm Vollure varies based on factors such as geographic location, the amount of filler needed, and the expertise of your provider. Dermal fillers may cost more in metropolitan areas than in suburban towns. Some patients may need more dermal fillers than others, depending on the severity of volume loss in the treated area. While a board-certified dermatologist, like Dr. Michele Green, may charge more than a nurse injector, it is crucial to seek treatment from an experienced dermatologist to ensure that dermal filler injections are safe and effective. Receiving injection fillers from a qualified dermatologist reduces the risk of potential side effects and ensures you receive the highest quality treatment. During your initial consultation with Dr. Green, she will assess the treatment area and understand your aesthetic goals to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs. Once your treatment plan is established, Dr. Green’s office can provide a more accurate estimate of the total treatment cost.

How long does Juvederm Vollure filler last?

Thanks to Vycross technology, Juvederm Vollure lasts longer than any other Juvederm filler, remaining effective for up to 18 months when used to treat wrinkles like marionette lines on the face. Once the body breaks down the gel, patients can schedule a follow-up appointment to repeat the treatment and maintain a smooth, youthful appearance.

Will Juvederm Vollure bumps go away?

After Juvederm treatment, it’s common to notice bumps or lumps in the area where the injection was administered. These bumps are typically temporary, usually resulting from mild, localized bruising or swelling, and tend to resolve within one to two weeks post-treatment. To help prevent these bumps, Dr. Green advises avoiding blood-thinning agents, such as aspirin, vitamin E, and fish oil, for one week before the injections. Additionally, an ice pack will be applied immediately after the injections to encourage vasoconstriction and reduce bruising and swelling.

On rare occasions, lumps can develop if hyaluronic acid filler is injected too superficially, if too much filler is used, or if the filler product migrates to another area and aggregates. Fortunately, hyaluronic acid dermal fillers, such as Juvederm Vollure, can be dissolved with hyaluronidase. Also known as Vitrase or Hylenex, hyaluronidase is an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid into smaller components that the body can excrete. While hyaluronidase is effective for eliminating bumps caused by hyaluronic acid filler, it’s essential to seek the expertise of an experienced, board-certified dermatologist like Dr. Green for filler injections to minimize the need for hyaluronidase. Dr. Green has over 25 years of experience with dermal filler injectables and employs proper techniques to ensure that your Juvederm filler treatment appears smooth and natural. If you notice bumps that persist even after the swelling has subsided, contact your injector for correction.

Should I get Juvederm Vollure in my lips?

Juvederm Vollure is best suited for volume restoration in the midface and lower face, specifically in the nasolabial folds. While some providers use Juvederm Vollure off-label for the lips, other Juvederm products are more suited for lip augmentation. Juvederm Ultra XC is outstanding for adding fullness to the lips, while Juvederm Ultra Plus XC is ideal for enhancing the definition and contour of the lips. The most suitable Juvederm product for lip enhancement depends on individual aesthetic goals and the natural shape and contour of the lips. If you are uncertain which filler is best for your lip augmentation and enhancement, Dr. Green will discuss your aesthetic goals with you, and together you can decide which filler will achieve the desired effect.

How long does Juvederm Vollure last in the lips?

Juvederm Vollure can be used off-label for lip augmentation, providing long-lasting and impressive results. As the longest-lasting filler in the Juvederm collection, the effects can endure for up to 18 months on the lips. Patients may repeat the procedure every 12 to 18 months to maintain and enhance their treatment outcomes.

Is Juvederm Vollure best for cheeks?

The Juvederm Collection offers a diverse range of dermal fillers designed to address various facial concerns. The primary distinction among the injectable gels in this collection lies in their thickness, which influences both the suitable areas of the face for treatment and the specific lines or folds each filler targets most effectively. Juvederm Vollure is particularly effective for correcting moderate wrinkles in the marionette lines and nasolabial folds. For cheek augmentation, Dr. Green prefers using Juvederm Voluma XC, the thickest and strongest Juvederm filler, recognized as one of the most popular options for this purpose. Juvederm Vollure and Juvederm Voluma can be combined in a patient’s treatment plan to address both the cheeks and midface for panfacial rejuvenation.

Where can Juvederm Voluma be injected?

Juvederm Voluma can be injected into the cheeks, chin, and temples for facial rejuvenation. This product instantly restores volume lost due to aging, reduces hollowing, and tightens sagging skin, resulting in a more youthful appearance. However, Juvederm Voluma is too thick for injection into the marionette lines, nasolabial folds, or lips, and many patients and providers prefer Juvederm Vollure for these areas. During your consultation with Dr. Green regarding your Juvederm filler treatment, she will assess your skin concerns and aesthetic goals to create a personalized Juvederm filler plan that will help you look and feel your best again.

Does Juvederm Vollure work?

Absolutely! Juvederm Vollure is an innovative hyaluronic acid filler that utilizes patented Vycross technology to restore volume and treat wrinkles and folds with long-lasting results. While Juvederm Vollure was specifically designed to address nasolabial folds and marionette lines, it can also be used off-label for lip enhancement. Because it is a blend of high and low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid, Juvederm Vollure is firm enough to effectively mold into facial wrinkles and lines, yet soft enough to maintain mobility and a natural facial expression. In clinical trials, patients reported that Juvederm Vollure can last up to 18 months. Specifically, 59 percent experienced improvement in smile lines for up to 18 months, 82 percent were satisfied with the results after six months, and 68 percent liked their results at eight months. Most patients undergo annual maintenance sessions to sustain the results of their treatment. With no downtime or adverse side effects, it’s no wonder that patients choose Juvederm Vollure to rejuvenate their skin and achieve a natural, youthful appearance.
