What Is Juvéderm?
Juvéderm® is the #1 selling collection of hyaluronic acid fillers in the United States. Each product in the Juvéderm collection of fillers adds volume to a different area of the face without surgery. All Juvéderm fillers are made of a smooth, crystal-clear gel that is administered by injection in your aesthetic provider’s office.
The Juvéderm collection of fillers is made from hyaluronic acid (HA). HA is a natural substance in the skin that delivers nutrients, helps the skin retain moisture and softness, and adds volume. Each product in the Juvéderm collection of fillers is made from a modified form of HA.
What to Expect
Your aesthetic provider at Riverchase will take your medical history and provide a facial analysis. Be prepared to discuss your aesthetic areas of concern. This is not a surgical treatment. Actual treatment with Juvéderm injectable gels can take 15 minutes to 60 minutes, depending on which area of your face is being treated.
Juvéderm injectable gels labeled with “XC” contain pain-reducing lidocaine to help manage pain or discomfort during the injection. You may also ask your aesthetic provider about a topical numbing cream or ice to help further minimize discomfort.
You will see results immediately. Results may last as long as one to two years, depending on the formula used.
Available Treatments at Riverchase
Juvéderm Volbella XC
Hyaluronic acid fillers are ideal for natural-looking lip augmentation and the fine lines that often appear around the mouth. Volbella is a unique hyaluronic acid filler that is specifically designed for this high-movement area.
Juvéderm Volbella XC with Lidocaine was developed with VYCROSS technology to deliver a natural look and feel, with results proven to last up to a year. Because it also includes a local anesthetic, you will find it makes the treatment process much more comfortable.
Volbella is a smooth gel that can increase volume in the lips and smooth lines around the mouth area. This product can provide natural appearing results because of the smoothness of the molecular formula. The filler has been specifically designed to be placed in areas that are constantly moving such as the lips and mouth area.
Results: While many fillers only last up to six months when injected into the lips, several trials and our own patients have shown that Juvéderm Volbella XC tends to last up to about 12 months, on average.
Juvéderm Vollure XC
Juvéderm® Vollure XC injectable gel is a smooth, clear, colorless hyaluronic acid (HA) gel that contains a small quantity of local anesthetic (lidocaine). HA is a naturally occurring sugar found in the human body. The role of HA in the skin is to help retain natural moisture and softness.
As you age, wrinkles develop on your face, and nasolabial folds may become more visible. Juvéderm Vollure XC is designed to temporarily reverse signs of aging by adding subtle volume to facial wrinkles and folds (such as nasolabial folds) and restoring a smoother appearance to the face in patients over the age of 21.
What to Expect: The lidocaine in the gel improves the comfort of the injection by reducing sensitivity to pain.
Results: The results of a Juvéderm Vollure XC clinical study showed that the product will temporarily smooth and reduce the appearance of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds such as nasolabial folds. Juvéderm Vollure XC is manufactured using VYCROSS technology to give a specialized smooth-gel filler that produces long-lasting results for up to 18 months at the treatment site.
Juvéderm Voluma XC
Juvéderm Voluma XC injectable gel is the first and only filler FDA-approved to instantly add volume to the cheek area. It gives you a subtle lift, helping to restore contour and a more youthful profile, for up to two years in patients over the age of 21. It’s different than Juvéderm XC and works on a different area of the face.

Juvéderm Ultra XC
Juvéderm Ultra XC injectable gel is a colorless hyaluronic acid gel that contains a small quantity of local anesthetic (lidocaine) and is injected into facial tissue to smooth wrinkles and folds, especially around the nose and mouth. HA is a naturally occurring sugar found in the human body. The role of hyaluronic acid in the skin is to deliver nutrients, hydrate the skin by holding in water, and to act as a cushioning agent. The role of lidocaine is to reduce the pain associated with injections into the skin.
Juvéderm Ultra Plus XC is a thicker version of this filler that is used to correct more severe facial wrinkles, deep nasolabial folds (the lines from your nose to the corners of your mouth), and marionette lines (the lines from the corners of your mouth down toward your jawline) and to fill in depressed areas in the cheeks. Juvéderm Ultra Plus XC can be injected deeper into the skin than the lighter dermal fillers for more intense correction.
Results: Juvéderm Ultra XC injectable gel will help to smooth moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds. Most patients need one treatment to achieve optimal wrinkle smoothing, and the results last about nine to 12 months.
Juvéderm XC
Juvéderm® XC is an injectable filler that contains a small quantity of local anesthetic (lidocaine) and is injected into facial tissue to restore volume loss in your face from the natural aging process. As we age, our face loses volume and we begin to see facial folds and wrinkles, better know as your smile lines, or parentheses, that run from the bottom of your nose to the corner of your mouth (nasolabial folds). It can be used to soften wrinkles and add volume to the lips.
Juvéderm® XC is made up of hyaluronic acid, a substance normally found in our skin and muscles that helps to add volume and hydration. Juvéderm® XC restores volume creating a smooth, natural, youthful look.
Juvéderm XC is injected into the mid to deep dermis to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds. The hyaluronic acid, once injected into the skin helps to create new collagen, helping to decrease the appearance of facial wrinkles, and it helps to stop the breakdown of existing collagen.
What to Expect: Your dermatologist or other medical provider will use a very fine needle to inject the Juvéderm XC into the mid to deep dermis of the skin. The injection process takes about 15 minutes, though your full consultation make take longer. We typically allow enough time for you to talk with your doctor prior to treatment. You may experience some discomfort during and after the injection. The smooth consistency gel of Juvéderm XC allows your doctor to administer it easily and smoothly. In addition, Juvéderm XC is injected directly into the skin using a fine needle to reduce injection discomfort. Your doctor may choose to numb (anesthetize) the treatment area to further minimize discomfort.
Possible side effects: Most side effects are mild or moderate in nature, and their duration is short, typically lasting seven days or less. The most common side effects include, but are not limited to, temporary injections site reactions such as redness, pain/tenderness, firmness, swelling, lumps/bumps, bruising, itching and discoloration. As with all skin injection procedures, there is a risk of infection.
