What is Juvederm?

Men and women unhappy with the signs of facial aging have discovered Juvederm in Pittsburgh such as Voluma, Volbella, and Vollure—three very effective members of the Juvéderm family, from Allergan. These versatile dermal fillers in Pittsburgh are an effective choice for filling in small, vertical lines around the lips, as well as deeper nasolabial folds. They can also be used to enhance and sculpt facial features such as the cheeks and chin, and add volume to lips.

About Juvéderm in Pittsburgh

All Juvéderm products are made from hyaluronic acid, which is a naturally-occurring sugar in the skin that helps keep it plump, moisturized, and youthful-looking. The active ingredient of hyaluronic acid can help you meet your goals without the worry of an allergic reaction; treatments are very safe, simple, and effective.

The following products—Voluma, Volbella, Vollure, and Juvéderm XC—are the same in many ways, but act differently from one another and are used for certain results. The difference in these dermal fillers comes down to thickness, spreadability, and strength.

What are the benefits of Juvéderm?

Juvéderm adds volume and smooths lines with results that look natural and feel soft. Benefits of Juvéderm include:

Immediate improvement in lips, cheeks, chin, jawline, and under-eye hollows
Softens smile lines and marionette lines
Little to no downtime, most people return to normal activities the same day
Hyaluronic acid gel that can be adjusted or dissolved with hyaluronidase if needed
Natural look and feel in motion
Typical longevity of 6 to 18 months depending on the product, area, and your metabolism
Your injector selects the JUVÉDERM product that fits your goals and treatment area

Who Is a Good Candidate?

You may be a good candidate if you want subtle, natural improvement without surgery and prefer a quick treatment with minimal downtime.

Volume loss, asymmetry, or lines you would like to improve

What is the cost for Juvederm in Pittsburgh?

Pricing will vary from patient to patient, based on the numbers of areas treated, the total surface area, the product formulation, and the number of injections required to achieve your cosmetic goals. We will present you with an in-depth quote for services at the time of your private Pittsburgh consultation. Below is an overview of our pricing:

Juvederm XC $550-$750 first syringe, $450-$650 additional syringes
Volbella $425-$625
Voluma $900-$1200
Vollure $750-$900

Voluma

Voluma is the first and only FDA-approved dermal filler formulated specifically to add volume to the mid-face and lift the cheek area. It provides a subtle, natural enhancement that can last for up to two years.

Voluma contains the thickest and strongest gel, making it perfect for deep injection into the cheek area to provide structure to the face and decrease sunken cheeks and sagging. Voluma is ideal for patients who want better volume around the mid-face area or cheekbones that are more sculpted.

Volbella

Volbella contains the thinnest and most spreadable gel, which makes it ideal for filling fine lip lines or smoothing the very delicate area under the eyes. This treatment is very safe, satisfactory, and can last for up to 18 months. If you’re looking for a long-lasting smoothing procedure made to specifically define the lip and mouth area, Volbella may be for you.

Vollure

Vollure contains a gel that is both durable and spreadable in order to treat moderate to severe nasolabial folds, parenthesis lines, marionette lines, and smile lines without making your face look “frozen.” The results from Vollure will last up to 18 months.

Juvéderm XC

Like Vollure, Juvéderm XC is fantastic for the nasolabial folds, smile lines, and marionette lines of the face. Our Pittsburgh Juvéderm treatments usually last six to 12 months. Juvéderm decreases fine lines and wrinkles and improves the appearance of scars by restoring your skin’s natural elasticity. Patients typically require between one and two syringes of Juvéderm for one area, but may require more. The amount you need will depend on your age, how deep your wrinkles are, and your aesthetic goals. Individual results may vary. Model was paid for her appearance.

Facial Fillers Pain level

One of the ingredients used within Juvederm is an anesthetic (lidocaine) that reduces any pain and discomfort felt during the treatment. Following the first injection, this lidocaine is given a few moments to set to work and reduce the sensation of pain for the remainder of the procedure. For patients who are particularly sensitive to pain, we can also apply a topical anesthetic that makes the procedure virtually pain free.

Cost of Juvederm

Juvederm is priced on a per syringe basis. Depending on the conditions a patient presents with, their goals for the procedure and the exact area to be treated, costs will vary widely. We will be able to provide an exact treatment cost for our patients following a private consultation, where we go over one’s concerns and goals for the treatment. Our many patients find that Juvederm has a very high return on investment and that the cost-benefits work nicely in their favor. We would be happy to provide you with a pricing estimate.

Juvederm Risks and Side Effects

Juvederm is FDA approved and has been safely in use for almost 15 years. As one of the premiere injectables available, it boasts millions of satisfied patients and a product line rapidly expanding to meet patient needs. Risks associated with the professional use of Juvederm are quite mild and generally uneventful.

Properly and professionally used, Juvederm comes with few side effects, all of which are temporary. These include:

Redness
Tenderness at injection sights
Slight pain
Itching

Most of these side effects quickly diminish within 24 to 48 hours, although some patients may experience them for as long as a week or two. More serious risks, however, can come from non-professional injectors, who are more likely to inadvertently inject the product into a blood vessel, where it doesn’t belong and can cause more serious complications. This is why it is important to seek a qualified and experienced professional for Juvederm.

Juvederm FAQ

Does the procedure hurt?

Most people feel brief pinches and pressure. We use topical numbing and JUVÉDERM contains lidocaine, which helps keep you comfortable. Mild tenderness, swelling, or bruising can occur and usually settles within a few days.

What is the best age for JUVÉDERM?

There is no single best age. Many patients consider treatment when they notice volume loss or lines that do not improve with skincare alone. Some choose lip or contour enhancement in their 20s and 30s, while others address folds and midface volume in their 30s, 40s, and beyond. The decision is based on your goals, anatomy, and medical history.

How does BOTOX compare to JUVÉDERM?

BOTOX relaxes specific muscles to soften lines caused by movement, such as frown lines, forehead lines, and crow’s feet. JUVÉDERM is a hyaluronic acid filler that adds or restores volume to areas like the lips, cheeks, chin, jawline, and smile lines. Results from BOTOX develop over several days and last about 3 to 4 months, while JUVÉDERM results are immediate and typically last 6 to 18 months depending on the product and area. Many patients benefit from a plan that includes both.
