All About Juvederm

Juvederm is a popular filler that has a line of products specially designed to rejuvenate your face in different ways. 

These five filler options through Juvederm are:

• Volbella
• Vollure
• Voluma
• Ultra
• Ultra Plus

Common Filler Terms

When deciding which filler option is best for you, it is important to understand the various terms your injector may use in discussing your choices. 

Water Affinity is used to explain how well the filler is at retaining moisture. This is ideal for fillers when you are looking for a plumping effect for areas such as the lips. 

G Prime is a term commonly used to describe how well a filler is able to retain its shape. As an example, a high G Prime can be compared to a Jell-O mold, which a lower G Prime is more like yogurt.

HA Concentration is a simple term to explain how thick a filler is. 

Cohesivity is used to explain a filler’s ability to spread. 

Juvederm Volbella

Juvederm Volbella is the thinnest and softest filler available in this family line. 

It has an HA concentration of 15 mg/mL, a low water affinity, and cohesivity. 

The nature of this product makes it ideal to fill in the fine lines on your face such as those around your lips or eyes. 

You can expect your results to last up to one year. 

Juvederm Vollure

Juvederm Vollure is a more durable and more easily spread variation making it more ideal to correct deeper wrinkles and folds. 

This product is the perfect solution for those looking to add volume in an area of the face such as the lips without having to compromise movement. 

You can generally expect your results from Juvederm Vollure to last around 18 months. 

Juvederm Voluma XC

This product has a lower water affinity and a higher G Prime which makes it ideal for those who are seeking structural modifications in their face. 

Voluma XC is most commonly used in areas such as the cheeks, to correct irregularities in the nose, and even to add volume to a weak chin. 

You can expect your results from Voluma XC to last around two years. 

Juvederm Ultra

Juvederm Ultra is a very popular product for individuals looking for a more pronounced pout. 

The nature of this product is soft and supple which is ideal for a natural boost in the lips. 

Juvederm Ultra has a very high water affinity and cohesivity, but a low G Prime. 

Results from Juvederm Ultra should last approximately one year. 

Juvederm Ultra Plus XC

Juvederm Ultra XC also contains lidocaine which is excellent at reducing any pain during your injections. 

This product is thicker than Juvederm Ultra which makes it a great option for dramatic results. 

For this reason, Juvederm Ultra Plus XC is commonly used in areas with deeper lines and more hollowed areas such as marionette lines and the nasolabial folds. 

Results should last past one year with Juvederm Ultra Plus XC.
