Juvéderm is a family of HA gels used to restore support and refine features with soft, adjustable and reversible results. Common sub‑brands include Voluma/Volux (structure), Vollure (flexible support) and Volbella (fine detail/lips).
What it treats (best suited)
- Cheek structure and mid‑face support
- Jawline and chin contouring (case‑by‑case)
- Lip shaping and perioral detail
- Under‑eye refinement in selected candidates (brand/region dependent)
- Temple softening in experienced hands
Who it’s not ideal for
- Active infection/inflammation at the treatment site
- Severe laxity expecting “lift” from filler alone (consider tightening first: Sofwave / Ultherapy)
- Major dental work within a few days of planned treatment (adjust timing)
How it works
Cross‑linked hyaluronic acid holds water and provides structure beneath the skin. Different gels vary in firmness, stretch and flow to match the needs of deep support vs fine surface detail. HA can be dissolved with hyaluronidase if medically indicated.
Treatment areas
- Cheeks, temples, jawline, chin
- Lips and perioral lines
- Tear trough (appropriate candidates/brands)
Session plan
- Amount: Syringe count depends on goals/structure; many plans are layered over several visits.
- Maintenance: Typically 6–18+ months depending on area, product and biology.
Comfort & technique
- Topical anaesthetic and/or lidocaine‑containing gels are common.
- Cannula vs needle and ultrasound guidance are chosen per area and risk profile.
Downtime & aftercare
- Temporary swelling/bruising (1–3 days common; under‑eye swelling can last longer).
- Avoid pressure and strenuous exercise for the first day as advised.
Results & longevity
- Immediate shaping; gels settle over 1–2 weeks.
- Longevity varies by area/product; expect periodic touch‑ups.
Skin of colour
- No device‑related pigment risk from HA; discuss bruise/PIH prevention with your injector.
Combines well with
- Scaffold first: Sculptra or Radiesse
- Surface polish: MOXI, LaseMD Ultra, or Fraxel Dual
- Colour/clarity: BBL HERO or M22 IPL
How it compares
- Juvéderm offers firmer gels for structure and softer gels for detail; selection is anatomy‑ and goal‑based.
- For highly dynamic areas, consider RHA Collection (if you publish an internal page).
Safety notes & contraindications
- Rare but serious vascular occlusion—your clinic should have hyaluronidase and protocols.
- Disclose blood thinners, autoimmune conditions, prior fillers and cold‑sore tendency.
FAQs
Can it be reversed?
Yes—HA can be dissolved with hyaluronidase if medically indicated.
Will I look “overfilled”?
We use conservative, layered plans to keep proportions natural.
How soon before an event?
Allow at least 2 weeks for settling; longer for under‑eye work.
