Juvéderm Volbella XC is the first FDA approved dermal filler that is proven to increase lip fullness and correct lines around the lips.

It works using Allergan’s Vycross technology to blend different weights of hyaluronic acid in order to stimulate collagen and elastin. The Vycross technology delivers a smooth gel which results in a more natural look and feel. This unique technology means that the product absorbs less water, which leads to reduced swelling as opposed to other fillers.

Results Of Juvéderm
You will see results immediately. The treated areas should look better right away and actually improve a lot more over 3 to 5 days. The product acts like a sponge and absorbs water. So the results gradually improve over a 5 day span. It is also recommended to not exercise the remainder of the day after treatment.

The Juvéderm products last about 8 months to a year. Thicker fillers like Ultra Plus tend to last about a year. The cheek enhancing and tightening Voluma last about 18 months to 2 years.
Cost Of Juvéderm
The average 1 cc syringe costs $650 and ½ cc syringes are approximately $450. 1cc Syringe of Voluma is $1000.
Is Juvéderm Treatment Painful?
We use a very good topical cream that numbs the skin beautifully in 30 minutes. With this, ice packs and sometimes a dental block for the lip lines the patients do beautifully and are very comfortable with the treatment.
What Are The Side Effects Of Juvéderm Injections?
After treatment you may experience some swelling and bruising which generally resolves in a couple of days. Proper use of ice and compression may help minimize bruising and swelling. Sleep with a 30-degree angle and avoid sleeping on one side to avoid disturbing the placement of the filler. You may take Tylenol for pain but not aspirin or ibuprofen which may increase bruising. You may also want to avoid Vitamin E and fish oil to minimize complications. Here are some of the most common side effects after treatment:
- Redness
- Pain/tenderness
- Firmness
- Swelling
- Lumps/bumps
- Bruising
- Itching
- Discoloration
- As with all skin injection procedures, there is a risk of infection.
