What Is JUVÉDERM?
JUVÉDERM is a collection of FDA-approved dermal fillers made from hyaluronic acid, a substance that naturally occurs in your skin and provides hydration and volume.
The JUVÉDERM Family
The JUVÉDERM family includes several specialized formulations designed to address specific areas and concerns—whether it’s softening fine lines, restoring lost volume, or enhancing your lips.
JUVÉDERM® Ultra XC and Ultra Plus XC
JUVÉDERM Ultra XC and Ultra Plus XC are versatile dermal fillers used to smooth moderate to severe facial wrinkles and increase lip volume. Ultra XC offers a softer, more flexible texture ideal for fine lines and lip enhancement. Ultra Plus XC provides a thicker formula suited for deeper folds and areas requiring more lift and structure.
JUVÉDERM® VOLUMA™ XC
VOLUMA XC is designed to restore lost volume in the cheeks and midface region. Its thicker, long-lasting gel provides lift and contour for a more youthful facial profile. Results can last up to two years, making it popular among those seeking subtle yet noticeable enhancement of cheek definition and facial balance.
JUVÉDERM® VOLBELLA® XC
VOLBELLA XC is formulated for delicate lip enhancement and smoothing fine lines around the mouth. It can also be used to address hollowing under the eyes. Its silky, lightweight consistency creates natural-looking volume and definition without overfilling. The filler integrates smoothly into the tissue, improving hydration and softening vertical lip lines while maintaining a soft, subtle finish that lasts up to a year.
JUVÉDERM® VOLLURE™ XC
VOLLURE XC targets moderate to severe facial folds, such as nasolabial folds (smile lines). Its balanced formulation provides flexibility and durability, allowing for natural facial movement while maintaining results for up to 18 months. It’s ideal for those seeking a smooth, refreshed appearance with long-lasting yet natural-looking correction of deeper wrinkles.
JUVÉDERM® VOLUX™ XC
VOLUX XC is specifically engineered for jawline contouring and definition. Its firm, cohesive gel provides structure and lift, helping to sculpt a more defined jawline and chin area. Approved for both men and women, VOLUX XC delivers results that enhance facial symmetry and profile with longevity of up to one year.
