Impressive, Non-Surgical Results

Juvederm’s longevity and smoothness can be attributed to the high concentration of hyaluronic acid and its special formulation process. Juvederm has the highest concentration of cross-linked hyaluronic acid of any dermal filler currently available in the US market, making it distinct from other hyaluronic acid dermal fillers because of its smooth consistency. Juvederm’s smooth gel is positioned into the skin and creates a smooth natural appearance.

How Juvederm Helps You

Juvederm was approved by the FDA in 2006 and is the first such hyaluronic acid general dermal filler that is FDA approved to last up to one year. Hyaluronic acid is a natural complex sugar found in all living organisms, including men and women, that retains water. It absorbs more than its weight and can add volume to the skin’s surface. 

Hyaluronic acid plays an important role in numerous areas of the body, such as the maintenance of skin volume and hydration, eye volume and shape, and joint lubrication and cushioning. Hyaluronic acid will bind with elastin and collagen to transport essential nutrients. The combination of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid provides structure, elasticity, and volume to the skin.

Why Should I Choose Juvederm?

As we age, our skin cells are exposed to environmental pollutants and ultraviolet rays, diminishing their ability to make hyaluronic acid, causing your skin to lose volume, and leading to the development of facial wrinkles and folds. Dermal fillers crossed-linked with hyaluronic acid are used to help temporarily replace lost hyaluronic acid and restore the skin’s volume and smooth appearance.

Juvederm is administered as an in-office procedure and creates an immediately noticeable difference.

Either a topical anesthetic or an injectable anesthetic is used prior to the procedure, which involves administering the gel using a very fine needle.

After Your Treatment

The most commonly reported side effects are temporary injection-site redness, swelling, pain or tenderness, firmness, swelling, lumps, and bruising. Laser treatments, chemical peels or any other active dermal procedure is done after Juvederm may cause inflammation around the injection site.

Patients should notify Dr. Garramone and his staff, if they are on any medication that may prolong bleeding, such as aspirin or ibuprofen, or Vitamin E, as this can cause increased bruising or bleeding at the injection site. During your consultation, we’ll talk you through everything you need to know about this procedure.

Juvederm injectable gel should not be used if a patient with a history of anaphylaxis or multiple severe allergies, or with patients who have allergies to gram-positive bacterial proteins. Before your procedure, we’ll thoroughly review your medical history and help you decide whether this treatment is right for you.

Restore Your Youthful Glow with Voluma

Loss of volume in the cheeks leads to sagging skin and an aged, hollow appearance. Full cheeks are a key marker of youth. Age-related volume loss can cause the face to lose definition, balance and change shape, all of which may make a person appear older than their years. Juvederm Voluma XC is an injectable gel introduced by Allergan, Inc. that works instantly to add volume and subtly lift the cheek area, temporarily reversing this particular sign of aging. It is the first and only filler FDA-approved to enhance cheek volume in people over the age of 21.

Add Volume and Turn Back the Clock

Like other fillers in the Juvederm family, Voluma is composed of hyaluronic acid, a complex sugar that occurs naturally in your skin. Voluma also combines with collagen and elastin to improve skin structure and elasticity to create a smooth, natural look. It was designed specifically to restore facial volume as opposed to just filling wrinkles.

Voluma does not involve surgery and is injected with a small needle, and the procedure only takes 30 minutes. You won’t experience any downtime, although strenuous activity and extensive sun exposure should be avoided for the first 24 hours following the treatment. Your results can last up to two years and are visible immediately after the injection.

The most commonly reported side effects include temporary reactions at the treatment site such as tenderness, swelling, firmness, lumps/bumps, bruising, pain, redness, discoloration, and itching. Most of these will resolve in one to two weeks, and we’ll help you understand exactly what to expect during your consultation.

Voluma should not be used if you have a history of severe allergies or severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) or if you’ve had allergic reactions to the proteins (gram-positive bacterial proteins) used to make the hyaluronic acid (HA) in Voluma.

Eliminate Nasolabial Folds with Vollure XC

What Is Juvéderm Vollure™ XC?

Vollure XC is an injectable filler that is designed to smooth moderate to severe nasolabial folds, or deeper creases around the nose and mouth. Like all Juvéderm products, Vollure XC is made from hyaluronic acid, a naturally-occurring substance in the body that helps keep skin plump and hydrated. The difference is that Vollure XC incorporates VYCROSS, the same proprietary technology that’s used in the lip filler VOLBELLA, into a filler meant for deeper wrinkles.

Thanks to VYCROSS, Vollure XC contains the optimal ratio of larger-to-smaller hyaluronic acid molecules to create a smooth and soft, yet slightly firmer gel that sits beautifully beneath the skin to smooth out deep creases, while moving naturally with your facial expressions.

What Signs of Aging Can Vollure XC Treat?

  • Smile lines or “parentheses”
  • Marionette lines
  • Nasolabial folds
  • Other moderate to severe facial wrinkles
Garramone

Juvéderm vs. Vollure: Which Is Best for You?

Vollure XC offers very similar, natural looking and feeling results to “regular” Juvéderm XC; however, the slightly firmer consistency of Vollure XC is especially well-suited to nasolabial folds and it can last up to twice as long. If you love the results you get with Juvéderm, but wish they would last longer, then you’ll really love Vollure XC.

What Areas Can I Treat?

Volbella was developed specifically for use both in the lips and around the mouth area, and has been FDA approved to increase lip fullness and soften the appearance of lines around the mouth. The treatment can deliver highly noticeable, professional results and is used for a myriad of cosmetic enhancements, including:

  • Filling and defining of the lips
  • Smoothing of fine lines and wrinkles above the lips (“smoker’s lines”)
  • Minimizing the appearance of creases and wrinkles below the lips

How Volbella Is Different

Volbella shares many qualities with its Juvederm filler counterparts, including the presence of hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally-occurring substance that helps to give a full, supple appearance to the face, often associated with youthful skin.

However, Volbella stands out in the family of Juvederm fillers due to its unique, thin consistency, which allows it to be injected very close to the skin’s surface, giving more noticeable results, which have a tendency to last much longer.

In addition, Volbella utilizes Juvederm’s exclusive VYCROSS technology, creating a pattern of cross-linked chains made of hyaluronic acid for slow degradation of the product once it has been administered in the skin, allowing results to last for up to a year.

How Volbella Works

While other HA fillers provide results by increasing volume in and around the lips, Volbella takes a different, more practical approach. Volbella minimizes wrinkles by attracting and retaining moisture in the treated area. When it is injected into the upper layers of the skin, the hyaluronic acid attracts water to the area, giving patients a naturally soft feel to the skin. 

Because Volbella is injected superficially, it is the perfect solution for treating wrinkles and fine lines around the lips. Volbella is ideal for patients who are not interested in increased volume but are instead looking to simply reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the lips.

Garramone

Volbella treatments are very time effective, with most treatments completed in less than 30 minutes and results seen immediately. Additionally, Volbella contains Lidocaine, a numbing agent that ensures patient comfort both during and immediately after treatment. After treatment is complete, patients are free to continue with their day as normal.
