Meet Juvéderm® XC and it’s five different formulations:
-
Juvéderm® Volbella® XC is the thinnest formulation and is used to correct vertical lips lines and outline the lips.
-
Juvéderm® Ultra XC is a bit thicker than Volbella® and is used for mild corrections in the nasolabial folds and helps to smooth away wrinkles.
-
Juvéderm® Ultra Plus XC has been our go-to filler for years. It has a thicker, plumping formula that is perfect for the lips, deep wrinkles and even deep folds.
-
Juvéderm® Vollure® XC is the newest member of the Juvéderm® family. It’s softer and easier to mold for those wanting a subtle, natural-looking correction. Vollure® lasts six months longer than Juvéderm® Ultra and Ultra Plus.
-
Juvéderm® Voluma® XC is a formulation specifically designed to lift and add volume to the midface and cheeks but can also be used in the chin and jawline to create a more defined profile.
First, let’s learn the fundamentals of dermal fillers.
Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers are the fastest growing non-invasive facial procedures in our Tristate area—along with the rest of the world. The Juvéderm® Family of Fillers are a group of five different fillers known as: Juvéderm® Ultra and Ultra Plus, Volbella®, Voluma® and Vollure®. All of which are injectable wrinkle fillers made from hyaluronic acid.
What is hyaluronic acid you ask?
It is a jelly-like substance naturally found in the body, in the skin and also in the eyes and joints. It absorbs water like a sponge and acts as a lubricant. Here’s the key: hyaluronic acid binds with collagen to provide structure, elasticity, and volume to the skin, making it look fresher, healthier, and better. As your skin ages, the cells lose the ability to produce hyaluronic acid. As a result, the skin begins to lose volume, often resulting in thinning lips, facial wrinkles, and folds. Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers are used to temporarily restore lost volume in the skin and enhance your natural appearance.
At the RETREAT, we exclusively use fillers made from hyaluronic acid to reserve our patients skin vitality and youthful appearance while also enhancing their natural beauty. Fillers differ in formulation, and it’s important to remember that there is no one size fits all. Some are more plumping and some last longer than others. There is also a significant difference in cost and longevity.
