Discover the Science Behind JUVÉDERM®: A Breakdown of Dermal Filler Perfection

Dermal fillers can provide stunning results, offering a wrinkle-free appearance, beautifully plumped lips, and more. At Ageless Skin Rejuvenation in Virginia Beach, we offer several non-surgical treatments, including JUVÉDERM products, to provide these benefits to our patients.  

JUVÉDERM, a leading name in dermal fillers, is backed by extensive scientific research and innovative formulations. With this treatment, we can treat concerns while working closely with patients to understand their desires. We prioritize collaboration between patient and provider to achieve individualized, natural-looking results.

What Is JUVÉDERM?

JUVÉDERM is a family of dermal fillers that use breakthroughs in cosmetic science to enhance your natural beauty. Made from hyaluronic acid, which is biocompatible with the skin, JUVÉDERM products add volume and smooth out wrinkles and folds. This formulation integrates with your skin while filling in lost volume. By choosing JUVÉDERM, you’re opting for a treatment that prioritizes efficacy and the harmony of your facial features.

The Science Behind JUVÉDERM

A Closer Look at the Key Ingredient

JUVÉDERM’s effectiveness lies in its primary ingredient, hyaluronic acid, a substance in the skin that retains moisture and adds volume. This ingredient hydrates skin and fills in wrinkles. By replenishing your skin’s hyaluronic acid levels, JUVÉDERM can freshen your appearance.

Vycross® Technology

JUVÉDERM fillers are enhanced by Vycross Technology, an advancement in dermal fillers that combines different molecular weights of hyaluronic acid. This technology allows the filler to blend in better with your skin and provides longer-lasting results with a more natural feel. The unique composition helps to create a smoother gel, which can be molded more precisely during the treatment.

An Overview of the JUVÉDERM Collection

JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC

JUVÉDERM VOLUMA XC adds volume beneath the skin’s surface to lift and contour the cheeks. This formulation is robust, providing structural support that enhances facial contours and gives you a more youthful profile. Ideal for those seeking to restore lost volume due to aging, this JUVÉDERM treatment helps create a balanced, natural-looking lift that can last up to two years.

JUVÉDERM VOLLURE® XC

For those looking to smooth out moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, JUVÉDERM VOLLURE XC offers a softer, more pliable formulation. This blend balances the need for durability with a soft, flexible gel that moves with your facial expressions. It’s perfect for addressing nasolabial folds and other lines, providing subtle enhancements that can last up to 18 months.

JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA® XC

When it comes to enhancing lips and addressing fine lines around the mouth, JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA XC is a good choice. This JUVÉDERM lip filler has a thinner consistency and is ideal for delicate areas that require subtle volume and definition. It offers a natural-looking finish that enhances the lips without over-plumping.

JUVÉDERM Ultra XC

For fuller, more voluptuous lips, JUVÉDERM Ultra XC provides the ideal solution. This formulation is designed for lip augmentation and offers a smooth, gel-like consistency that adds volume and shape. With this JUVÉDERM lips treatment, you can achieve a more pronounced pout while smoothing fine lines around the mouth.

JUVÉDERM Ultra PLUS XC

JUVÉDERM Ultra PLUS XC is similar to its counterpart but with a thicker, more robust formulation. This makes it suitable for deeper lines and more significant volume loss. It’s versatile enough to be used on several different areas of the face. As a comprehensive JUVÉDERM treatment, it offers reliable and long-lasting results.

The Science Behind JUVÉDERM Results

Immediate Effects

One of the benefits of JUVÉDERM fillers is the immediate enhancement you notice since it adds volume and smooths out wrinkles as soon as it is injected. The hyaluronic acid binds with water in your skin to create a plump, hydrated look right away.

Enjoying the Full Results

While you will see an immediate change, some swelling and minor bruising are normal after a JUVÉDERM treatment. This initial swelling can sometimes mask the final results for a couple of days. As the swelling subsides, the filler settles, and you begin to see the full, natural-looking effects.

JUVÉDERM Longevity

How long JUVÉDERM lasts can vary depending on the specific product used and the area treated. JUVÉDERM products can last anywhere from six months to two years. Factors such as your skin type, lifestyle, and the area treated can influence longevity. To maximize the results of your JUVÉDERM treatment, follow post-care instructions carefully, stay hydrated, and consider periodic touch-ups to maintain your desired look. Proper skincare and healthy habits can also help extend the benefits and keep you looking refreshed for longer.

How to Choose the Right Injector

• Experience: When considering a JUVÉDERM treatment, select an injector with extensive experience. An experienced injector will have a deeper understanding of facial anatomy and the nuances of using dermal fillers.
• Qualifications: Make sure the practice is staffed with qualified medical practitioners holding proper certifications. Look for professionals such as registered nurses (RNs), licensed technicians, and family nurse practitioners (FNPs). These credentials indicate that the injectors have undergone rigorous training and adhere to high standards of care.
• Ability to Listen: A good injector listens carefully to your concerns and aesthetic goals. They should take the time to understand what you hope to achieve and adjust the treatment to you. Effective communication between patient and provider is essential for achieving the best possible outcomes.
