About Juvederm

Juvederm is a family of injectable, FDA-approved dermal fillers. These fillers are in the form of a gel that is injected into the target area to help treat facial lines, folds, and wrinkles. They are made up of hyaluronic acid, which is safe for all skin tones and skin types. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring compound that is present in the human body. But as we age, the concentration of this compound diminishes, which results in the formation of lines and wrinkles. It is a safe anti-aging treatment for every age group and skin type.

Several Juvederm products serve different functions. Juvederm Voluma XC is injected into the cheeks to add volume to the face. Juvederm Ultra Plus XC and Juvederm Vollure XC are injected around the nose and mouth. Similarly, Juvederm Volbella is injected into the lips to give them a fuller and plump look.

Talking about the cost of Juvederm, the exact price varies depending on the formula that you choose. Also, several other factors affect the pricing like the provider, your location, and whether you are taking an off from your work or not. The cost can also be divided based on the number of sessions and the area being treated.
