How Juvéderm® Works
Juvéderm® fillers work by adding volume to the facial tissue through its active ingredient, hyaluronic acid. HA acts like a sponge, absorbing water and expanding to fill in wrinkles and folds. The gel-like substance provides immediate results, with the full effect visible after a few days to weeks.
Juvéderm® Ultra
- Usage: Ideal for moderate to severe wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds. It is also used to enhance the lips.
- Properties: Contains a highly cross-linked formulation for more robust results.
Juvéderm® Ultra Plus
- Usage: Designed for deeper folds and wrinkles, it is more robust than Ultra and is suitable for adding volume to areas like the cheeks and chin.
- Properties: It has a thicker consistency compared to Ultra, providing more pronounced results.
Juvéderm® Volbella
- Usage: Primarily used for lip augmentation and the correction of perioral lines (lines around the mouth). It provides a subtle and natural look.
- Properties: Has a lower HA concentration, making it softer and ideal for areas that require finesse.
Juvéderm® Vollure

- Properties: Boasts a unique balance between gel firmness and low cohesivity, yielding a versatile filler.
