Dermal fillers are used for cosmetic purposes and are meant to restore volume and fullness to your skin. When used properly, dermal fillers help to diminish common visible signs of aging. They are one of the most popular facial rejuvenation treatments available and can be a cost-effective way to look younger without surgery.

Dermal fillers help to restore volume and fullness in the face and to diminish facial lines and wrinkles. They are minimally invasive gel-like fillers that are injected into the soft tissue beneath the skin at various depths to achieve this goal. Dermal fillers can be helpful to those with early signs of aging. 

There are several types of dermal fillers, including hyaluronic acid injections, such as those from JUVÉDERM®. Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a natural substance that can be found in your body and that delivers volume to the skin. HA is extracted and reformulated into dermal fillers such as JUVÉDERM® Volbella XC, JUVÉDERM® Voluma XC, and JUVÉDERM® Ultra Plus XC. HA fillers have become one of the most popular kinds of injectable dermal fillers available for aesthetic treatments.

 

“Modified HA is the main ingredient behind JUVÉDERM®. Getting treated with JUVÉDERM® helps add volume to different areas of the face without surgery while also temporarily restoring the volume loss beneath the surface.”

JUVÉDERM®

FDA-approved HA dermal fillers can be used to improve the look of an individual’s skin by contouring and reducing depressions, fine lines, and wrinkles in the skin. Products in the JUVÉDERM® Collection are approved by the FDA and only can be administered by a licensed physician or other properly licensed practitioners. JUVÉDERM® treatments can help address a variety of aesthetic issues including the following:

  • Some scars (such as from burns, acne, etc.)
  • Sunken cheeks 
  • Fine lines and deep wrinkles (such as crow’s feet at the corner of the eyes; frown lines between the eyebrows; deep smile lines, also known as nasolabial furrows; and marionette lines at the corners of the mouth)
  • And many more…

Recovery time after receiving dermal filler treatments will vary for every patient. Also, how long the effects of treatment last will depend on the area(s) of the face addressed and the specific product variation applied. Talk to the experienced aesthetic specialist who will be administering your JUVÉDERM® dermal filler to find out more details about the process and effects specific to you.
