Juvederm is a hyaluronic acid dermal filler sold by Allergan, designed to improve the deeper lines that form on the face, particularly the nasolabial folds. It is also used to add volume to the face and fill in wrinkles. Juvederm is a safe and effective treatment, but it is not covered by insurance as it is considered a cosmetic procedure. The cost of Juvederm will depend on the specific formula chosen and the quantity needed.
Juvederm products are made of hyaluronic acid (HA) and come in different concentrations and binding between molecules. The most popular Juvederm products are Juvederm Voluma XC, Juvederm Ultra Plus XC, Juvederm Ultra XC, Juvederm Vollure XC, and Juvederm Volbella XC. The newest filler, Juvederm Voluma XC, has a lifting effect when injected into the middle of the face and also resists swelling. The choice of a hyaluronic acid filler such as Restylane or Juvederm depends on the area to be injected and the patient's specific needs.
The duration of Juvederm depends on the type of product used, the area being treated, the amount of product used, and individual body chemistry. Generally, it lasts between six months and two years. Injections packs and monthly specials are available that offer discounts on Juvederm, Botox, and other treatments. The cost of one syringe of Juvederm can range from $400 to $800 depending on the number of syringes needed.
