Juvéderm® is the #1 selling collection of hyaluronic acid fillers in the US. Each specially formulated product adds volume to a different area of the face to lift cheeks, smooth parentheses lines, or plump the lips. Peter Abramson, M.D., at Abramson Facial Plastic Surgery & Rejuvenation Center in Atlanta, Georgia, uses the different products together or alone to achieve the desired results of his patients.  He may also use them in combination with wrinkle inhibitors such as Jeuveau or Botox® Cosmetic. The results are subtle and long-lasting.

  • Juvéderm® Voluma® XC – designed to add volume to the cheek area.
  • Juvéderm®XC – for the correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds (such as nasolabial folds) and lip plumping
  • Juvéderm® Volbella® XC – adds volume to the lips and smooths vertical lip lines.
  • Juvéderm® Vollure™ XC – to fill in area around the nose known as nasolabial folds.

What is Juvéderm®?

Juvederm Family of Fillers

Juvéderm® is a very popular FDA approved injectable gel made of hyaluronic acid that is injected into the face to instantly restore volume and hydration. Wrinkles and folds, like smile lines or nasolabial folds are smoothed away for up to a year. Juvéderm® lasts long because it’s the only dermal filler currently available with the highest concentration of hyaluronic acid  and a special formulation process. This process creates a smooth gel that flows easily into the skin, creating smooth, natural looks. It helps add volume and hydration.

Look vibrant and youthful with these quick, safe and highly effective beauty volumizing injections. Each injection takes less than 10 minutes, and there is no downtime. Results are immediate.

No allergy testing is required and the results are beautiful!

Allergan, the maker of Botox, developed the Family of Juvederm® XC products. They have also introduced Kybella® for removing a double chin.  All of these products  qualify for the Brilliant Distinctions Awards program.

Preparation

Patients need to be aware that some medications increase the likelihood of bruising. Therefore, Dr. Abramson advises patients to stop taking the medications listed below for 4-7 days prior to Juvéderm injections.

  • Motrin, Advil, Ibroprofen, Naprosyn (or same class of anti-inflammatory medications)
  • Aspirin
  • Fish oils
  • Vitamin E
  • Glucosamine,
  • Ginko Biloba
  • Coumadin or Lovenox  (though you are more likely to bruise if you are on these, we suggest you DO NOT stop this medication, and seek your primary doctors approval)

About the Procedure

All filler treatment procedures start with either a topical numbing gel to lessen or eliminate discomfort. Juvéderm® products tend to be less painful as the XC stands for Extra Comfort. Once the desired area is numb, Dr. Abramson will inject the Juvéderm® filler under the skin. Multiple injections are made so the dermal filler is evenly distributed through the area. The entire procedure can be performed in less than an hour.

Recovery

  • Apply ice to the area – especially lips.
  • DO NOT sleep on the face or compress the area for 2-3 days.
