What is Juvederm® Made of, and How Does it Work?

Loss of facial volume can give away your age or make your features look less defined. Juvederm® dermal fillers can enhance volume in areas like the lips, cheeks, and wrinkles. While they can address signs of aging, Juvederm® fillers can also give individuals of any age a fuller, more defined appearance. This popular dermal filler brand is one of the world’s most widely used aesthetic injectables.

What is Juvederm®?

Dermal fillers are injectable, biologically safe materials that enhance facial volume. Juvederm® is a popular family of fillers designed to address a range of needs. Juvederm® fillers come in a variety of formulas so that they can treat many different concerns. These versatile fillers can be used alone or in combination with other treatments like Botox® to rejuvenate your features. Juvederm® offers a no-downtime alternative to other aesthetic treatments.

What is Juvederm® Made of, and How Does it Work?

Juvederm® fillers use the safest, most widely used filler material in the world: hyaluronic acid. This molecule has become extremely popular in skincare due to its ability to attract and hold hydration. Instead of applying it to the surface, Juvederm® injects it into the deeper layers of skin, where it provides smoothness and plumping. 

Hyaluronic acid adds volume by holding moisture deep inside the skin, lifting it from beneath. It provides natural-looking results that look like your own features but fuller and more defined. It does not react with the skin and can remain in place safely until your body naturally removes it. 

What Types of Juvederm® are Available?

Juvederm® fillers come in various formulas that allow them to address different concerns. Each contains a different form of hyaluronic acid formulated for a specific area or goal. 

Juvederm® Voluma

Voluma is used to add volume to the cheeks and chin. It can create a stronger profile and restore fullness to hollow-looking cheeks. This long-lasting filler works well where more definition and shape are needed. 

Juvederm® Vollure

Vollure is used to treat moderate to severe lines around the nose and mouth, often known as marionette lines and nasolabial folds. It lifts and smooths deep lines for a rejuvenated appearance. 

Juvederm® Volbella

Volbella’s flexible formula is most often used as a lip filler, providing full, natural-looking plumpness. It is also used to address hollowness under the eyes for a more youthful, alert look that allows a full range of motion. 

Juvederm® Ultra Plus

Ultra Plus provides an alternative for addressing moderate to severe nasolabial folds and marionette lines. Your expert injector may prefer Vollure depending on your needs and the severity of your lines and wrinkles. 

Juvederm® Ultra

 Ultra is a lip filler that can also be used for fine lines around the mouth. It may be used instead of Volbella depending on your goals and which formula will provide your best results. Your expert injector will have the experience to select the best options.

What to Expect During Juvederm® Treatment

You can expect your Juvederm® session to take 30 minutes to an hour. You will receive a series of injections with tiny needles, each feeling like a very minor pinch. Your expert injector will ensure your comfort throughout treatment. You may have one or more areas treated, and your injector may use more than one kind of filler. 

Is There Any Downtime After Juvederm® Dermal Fillers?

Like other dermal fillers, Juvederm® does not require any downtime. You can return to your usual activities immediately. Some people notice a few spots of redness or bruising in the treatment area, and you may also experience minor swelling. We will recommend avoiding NSAIDs, alcohol, and some supplements before treatment to reduce the chance of bruising. 

Am I a Good Candidate for Juvederm®?

Hyaluronic acid is found naturally in the skin and is safe for all skin types and tones. Good candidates for Juvederm® fillers have reasonable goals and expectations. You should not have injections in an area where you have an injury, infection, or active skin condition. You should not have dermal fillers if you are pregnant. Only a consultation can determine whether you are a good candidate for fillers. 

What Results Will I See With Juvederm® Fillers?

Your Juvederm® filler results are usually visible immediately after your appointment. They may look a bit fuller than you expected for a day or two as the filler settles into place and the swelling resolves. Lip fillers like Juvederm® Ultra and Volbella usually last about a year, while cheek and chin fillers like Voluma can last up to two years. Your body will gradually remove Juvederm® over time, with denser, more resilient fillers lasting longer than softer, more flexible ones.

Sharing my recent experience with Dr. Bruce Moskowitz for anyone who is in search of an Ocular Plastic Surgeon. I am relatively young and this was all new to me, and very scary. I was referred to Dr. Moskowitz by another doctor and I am forever grateful. Not only is his work incredible, meticulous, with amazing results, but he takes the time to explain, make you feel comfortable, and follow up consistently. I still can't believe what he was able to do for me, how he put me back together again. The office is clean and comfortable (with wonderful artwork!) and the office staff is all kind, smart and caring. You never feel like you are just patient with no name. Almost feels like a family-run business (a very high-end business.

Dr.Mashkevich is the best cosmetic surgeon in New York City! I was looking for a surgeon with years of experience in facelift and neck lifts. I did shop around went to three other surgeons in New York and I didn’t feel confident enough after my consultations. Until I met Dr.Mashkevich! He is extremely patient and if I could I would give him a ten-star review! Dr. Mashkevich and his team made me comfortable and confident with my decision from the beginning to the end of my journey. This decision was one of the best decisions of my life.

Dr. Mashkevich has exceeded my expectations. He’s knowledgeable, professional, and extremely attentive pre and post-operation. I went to several consultations with other surgeons but felt most comfortable with Dr. Mashkevich’s expertise and confidence. I was extremely nervous about the outcome and the recovery - both of which I’m very pleased with. If you’re looking for a natural look then this is the doctor for you. Highly recommend him!!

I recently underwent face, neck, and lip lift, as well as a partial rhinoplasty revision, performed by Dr. Mashkevich. I don't know where to begin. Dr. Mashkevich is not only a surgeon but an artist, with the most incredible surgical eye and hands. I had several consultations with plastic surgeons in Manhattan, and from the moment I met Dr. Mashkevich, there was no question that he would be the one to perform my surgery. From the consultation to post-op appointments, he has been the kindest, most caring, and sincere doctor that I could have hoped for. I could not be happier with my decision. I would recommend Dr. Mashkevich to anyone who is looking for not only incredible results but a smooth and comfortable overall surgical experience. Truly the best!!!

In February 2021, I decided to undergo eyes surgery (brow lift and lower blepharoplasty surgery). My friend, who is also a happy patient of Dr. Bruce Moskowitz, recommended him to me and today I know that it was the best choice I could have made. A real expert in his field. Both during the consultation and during the surgery, I felt great under the care of Dr. Moskowitz and his fantastic team. I would also like to thank all the ladies at the reception who are very nice and helpful. I wholeheartedly recommend dr. Bruce Moskowitz and his great team.

I am very grateful to the Doctor Stein, you cannot imagine how much, he is a Doctor who makes you feel safe, he is very affectionate with his patients and above all human.

I am very happy and everything went very well. you are like a hero to me. I love you so much Doctor. God, keep using you as an instrument.

I had a very very complicated issue, one that I thought would leave permanent damage. However Dr. Stein performed a very successful surgery & was very active in the recovery process, even with such a busy schedule. He prioritized my needs and repaired my injury better than I ever seen before. He took his time and made sure I left in great hands. I highly recommend Dr. Stein!! Very honest, very professional & very good! I encourage everyone in need to request his services.

I had breast augmentation lift with Dr Stein in 2020, he is amazing! I had 3 consultations over the years prior to meeting him and could never feel ready with any doctor but after sitting with him I was ready immediately. He made me very comfortable and his work came out beautiful. I have very light marks which should be expected because I am dark skinned & I didn't take the scar therapy that was offered, but I recommend it. I gained some weight now so I will visit him again. He is the most careful and a perfectionist!

Dr Stein gave me a "mommy make-over" and I am delighted. He is highly intelligent and a true aesthete. When I went to meet him, I knew I was in excellent hands. He listened carefully and answered all my questions thoroughly. Whenever I reached out to him, he always made time to respond in a timely manner. He has a special way of putting you at ease and is a consummate professional. Now I am five months out from surgery and I feel and look fantastic. I cannot recommend this superstar, talented plastic surgeon highly enough.

I have too many good things to say about Dr. Stein. First, if you are reading this and are on the fence about lipo or breast augmentation, save yourself the unnecessary anxiety and book a consultation with Dr. Stein. I had both procedures with him (breast aug, lipo). He is caring, compassionate, and dedicated to what he does. His staff is just as caring and helpful. I did a ton of research before choosing a surgeon, and I could not have chosen anyone better. He is a real professional. I highly recommend him and will certainly use him again for all my future aesthetic needs.
