JUVÉDERM® Fillers

More than ever, society is hyper-focused on appearance. While at one time you could overlook a few lines, a less-than-perfect pout, or features that have lost volume, the advent of social media and ever-present high-definition cameras have changed that. Fortunately, the aesthetics world is also focused on how you look—whether you’re searching for the best anti-aging skincare regimen or effective cosmetic treatments, there is something out there for everyone.

Is JUVÉDERM for You?

If you’ve started to notice that makeup and good skincare aren’t doing the trick, dermal fillers may be the solution. Injectable fillers are a nonsurgical treatment to diminish wrinkles and add volume where you need it—for both definition and an overall youthful, attractive look.

We offer the entire line of JUVÉDERM fillers at Pure Medspa in Medford, OR, providing you with a wide range of choices to address everything from flat cheeks to thin lips to lines and wrinkles. Our highly trained and experienced injectors will work with you to determine the right filler for your needs, ensuring that you leave our office looking beautiful and natural—without anyone knowing that you’ve had a cosmetic procedure. We offer other dermal fillers in addition to Sculptra® Aesthetic.

What Is JUVÉDERM Made Of?

The JUVÉDERM family of fillers is made of hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a very small molecule found naturally in almost every cell in your body. It has the amazing ability to retain 1,000 times its weight in water.

This little molecule is an essential part of nearly all the systems in your body because it binds with water and forms a viscous gel that lubricates and moisturizes everything from your skin to your joints to your eyes. In fact, about 50 percent of the hyaluronic acid molecules in your body are found in your skin, as they work to keep tissues balanced and adequately hydrated.

When used in injectable fillers, HA gel softens and smooths creases and lines, fills in deep wrinkles and folds, and adds volume to areas lacking it—and it does all of this using its natural capacity for keeping skin looking healthy and supple.

How Much Does JUVÉDERM Cost in Medford, OR?

At our Medford medspa, JUVÉDERM is typically priced by the syringe. During your consultation, your injector will assess how many syringes you need and provide you with a personalized pricing estimate.

The JUVÉDERM Family of Fillers

The FDA approved JUVÉDERM in 2006 to treat facial folds and wrinkles. Since then, several other variations of JUVÉDERM fillers have been added, each with a specific formulation and purpose.

JUVÉDERM and JUVÉDERM XC

The original members of the JUVÉDERM family of fillers are JUVÉDERM and JUVÉDERM XC. The only variation in these formulations is that JUVÉDERM XC has the addition of lidocaine, allowing those sensitive to pain to further minimize potential discomfort during the procedure. We typically use JUVÉDERM and JUVÉDERM XC to treat mild to moderate lines around the mouth and nose (nasolabial folds), as well as between the eyebrows (glabellar lines), between the nose and upper lip (the philtrum), and the earlobes. Results last up to a year.

JUVÉDERM Ultra Plus XC

Ultra Plus XC has a formulation similar to JUVÉDERM XC, and it is used to treat the same areas of your face, but Ultra Plus XC is typically used to address moderate to severe folds and wrinkles. This is because the molecules in Ultra Plus XC are larger, which can provide a bit more volume and longevity of results.

JUVÉDERM VOLLURE®

JUVÉDERM VOLLURE targets more severe smile lines (nasolabial folds) and marionette lines, offering results lasting up to 18 months.

JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA® XC

JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA XC is used to smooth and soften the appearance of perioral lines (or “lipstick lines”) around your mouth for up to a year. VOLBELLA is also one of the most popular lip fillers.

JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC

JUVÉDERM VOLUMA XC is designed to restore volume, contour, and lift to your cheeks and midface that is often lost as a result of the natural aging process. It can also add definition to the cheeks, chin, and jawline, with results that can last up to 2 years.

Popular Uses for Fillers

JUVÉDERM fillers provide a variety of improvements, instantly. Popular uses include:

• Correcting facial folds and creases, such as smile lines and marionette lines
• Contouring the cheeks, jawline, and chin
• Restoring volume around the eyes (tear troughs), at the temples, to the earlobes, and to the backs of the hands
• Augmenting and defining the lips
• Smoothing away vertical lip lines

Many people have more than one area of the face treated in the same visit. We often combine fillers with BOTOX® Cosmetic for a full face rejuvenation called a liquid facelift.

Lip Fillers

The benefits of lip fillers go beyond creating fuller, more sensual lips, and patients of all ages choose lip enhancement with JUVÉDERM fillers. At our Medford, OR, medspa, people get fillers to create symmetrical lips, reduce the appearance of fine lines around the mouth, enhance the definition of the Cupid’s Bow, and restore volume for aging lips. You might also consider combining lip fillers with a BOTOX “lip flip,” which exposes more of the upper lip’s reddish area to create the appearance of fuller lips.

What To Expect From Your JUVÉDERM Treatment

Your JUVÉDERM treatment will take place in the comfort of our luxurious medspa and will likely take less than 30 minutes. The procedure is well-tolerated, especially if you receive one of the formulations containing lidocaine. However, we do apply a topical anesthetic cream prior to performing the injections to minimize any potential discomfort.

What Is JUVÉDERM Recovery Like?

JUVÉDERM injections are minimally invasive and require zero downtime for recovery—you can return to your daily activities immediately after your filler session without anyone knowing that you had anything “done.”

As with any injectable treatment, there may be some minor side effects at the injection site, including:

• Hardness or small lumps or bumps
• Redness
• Tenderness, mild pain, or itching
• Swelling or bruising

If you experience any of the above effects, rest assured that they are temporary and usually resolve themselves within a few days.

How Long Do JUVÉDERM Results Last?

You will see immediate results from your JUVÉDERM treatments and continued improvements for about 1 to 2 weeks. Your JUVÉDERM results can last up to a year (and sometimes more), depending on which filler was used and how quickly your body absorbs it.

What’s a Liquid Facelift?

A liquid facelift is a comprehensive facial rejuvenation treatment performed with filler and BOTOX injections. Because BOTOX corrects dynamic wrinkles and fillers replace volume and smooth out static wrinkles, they complement and enhance each other. While a liquid facelift produces temporary results, lasting about a year or two, it can be a good choice for people with early signs of aging or those who want to avoid surgery.

Can You Combine JUVÉDERM With Other Treatments?

Certainly! We often combine JUVÉDERM fillers with BOTOX during the same appointment, but others require separate appointments. Some of the most popular options include:

• HALO® laser skin resurfacing
• Laser skin rejuvenation treatments such as ContourTRL™, MOXI®, ClearSilk®, and Artic Peel
• EMFACE® nonsurgical facelift
• RF microneedling
• Hydrafacial®
• Chemical peels

During your consultation, one of our expert skincare and aesthetic staff can create a customized treatment plan after listening to your concerns and goals. Learn more about treatment stacking in this blog post.

JUVÉDERM FAQ

Is JUVÉDERM better than BOTOX?

Fillers such as JUVÉDERM address different types of wrinkles than those targeted by BOTOX. Fillers treat age-related volume loss to improve the appearance of nasolabial folds, under-eye hollows, and sunken or flat cheeks. BOTOX targets expression lines, such as crow’s feet, worry lines, and horizontal forehead wrinkles.

What’s the best dermal filler for acne scarring?

Using dermal fillers to improve the appearance of acne scars is becoming more popular, and several studies have demonstrated their effectiveness. Hyaluronic acid fillers such as JUVÉDERM and biostimulant fillers like Sculptra® Aesthetic are effective treatments for acne scarring. You can also consider scar revision treatments with the Sciton Profractional laser.

Can you use JUVÉDERM on your hands?

The backs of hands are often overlooked when it comes to anti-aging treatments. When hands lose volume, the skin becomes thin and wrinkled, often making hands appear bony or veiny. JUVÉDERM filler is an excellent treatment option for restoring a smoother, firmer appearance to the hands.

Is JUVÉDERM or masseter BOTOX better for jawline contouring?

Even though BOTOX is better known for minimizing expression lines, it can also create a slimmer jawline when injected into the masseter muscle in the jaw. If your masseter muscle is overdeveloped, BOTOX is the best option for shrinking it. JUVÉDERM VOLUX is an excellent choice if you want to add definition or structure to a lax or underdeveloped jawline.
