As we age, the volume in our face naturally decreases, leading to wrinkles, folds, and other visible signs of aging. One of the most common concerns is the development of smile lines around the nose and mouth, which occur as lost volume in the mid-face causes the skin to fold and crease. While surgical options can address these concerns, many individuals prefer non-surgical injectable treatments to refresh their appearance with minimal downtime.
Juvéderm® Vollure is a non-surgical dermal filler designed to smooth facial wrinkles and folds while restoring natural-looking fullness. A consultation is required prior to any Juvéderm treatment to evaluate your facial anatomy, discuss your aesthetic goals, and ensure the safest, most effective plan for achieving your desired results.
What is Juvéderm Vollure XC?
Juvéderm Vollure XC is one of the advanced Juvéderm fillers, formulated with hyaluronic acid — a naturally occurring substance found in the body that helps retain moisture, support skin structure, and maintain a youthful appearance. This smooth, colorless gel filler is specifically designed to soften moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, particularly nasolabial folds and marionette lines.
As a specialized injectable treatment option, Juvéderm Vollure XC is injected directly into targeted areas to restore volume and improve skin smoothness. The formula contains lidocaine, helping minimize discomfort during treatment. Most appointments take approximately 15 minutes, making it a convenient option for patients with busy schedules.
How Do Facial Injections Work?
Juvéderm Vollure works by replenishing moisture and restoring lost volume beneath the skin’s surface. By addressing volume depletion, this filler helps smooth wrinkles and folds while enhancing facial contours for a refreshed, youthful look. The unique gel technology allows for subtle volume enhancement while preserving natural facial expressions.
While Vollure is primarily used for facial folds, other Juvéderm fillers may be better suited for enhancing lip volume or contouring other areas of the face, depending on your individual skin condition and goals. Your provider will recommend the most appropriate filler to achieve optimal results.
Ideal Candidates for Juvéderm® Vollure
Juvéderm Vollure XC is a specialized smooth gel filler designed to temporarily correct facial wrinkles and folds, particularly targeting areas like the nasolabial folds by adding volume to the treatment area. If you are considering facial injections to achieve a smoother appearance and temporarily reverse the signs of aging, understanding whether you are an ideal candidate is essential for optimal treatment results.
The best candidates for Juvéderm Vollure XC are individuals with moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, especially those who notice deep lines around the nose and mouth. This dermal filler is formulated to add volume and restore a more youthful, smooth appearance to the skin, making it an excellent option for those experiencing facial volume loss due to aging.
However, not everyone is suited for this injectable gel formulation. Individuals with a history of severe allergic reactions, multiple severe allergies, or known allergies to Gram-positive bacterial proteins should avoid Juvéderm Vollure XC, as there is an increased risk of severe allergic reactions. Similarly, those who have experienced excessive scarring, hypertrophic scarring, or keloid formation may not be ideal candidates, as these conditions can affect healing and the final result.
If you are taking blood thinners or other medications that prolong bleeding, you may experience increased bruising or swelling at the injection site. It is important to disclose all medications and medical history during your consultation to ensure your safety and the best possible outcome.
A thorough consultation with a qualified healthcare professional is crucial before undergoing any skin injection procedures. Your provider will assess your facial tissue, discuss your desired aesthetic outcome, and determine the most appropriate approach to temporarily add volume and achieve a natural, rejuvenated look.
As with any dermal filler, there are possible risks and side effects, including injection site redness, swelling, and bruising. These effects are generally mild and resolve within a few days. By choosing an experienced provider and following all aftercare instructions, you can minimize discomfort and maximize your results.
Juvéderm® Vollure Results
One of the major benefits of Juvéderm Vollure is that there is little to no downtime. Mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection site may occur but typically resolves within a few days. Results are smooth, subtle, and long-lasting — with many patients enjoying improvement for up to 18 months.
Unlike fillers designed primarily for lip volume, such as Juvéderm Ultra XC, Vollure is specifically formulated to treat facial wrinkles and folds, making it an excellent option for patients seeking balanced facial rejuvenation.
