JUVÉDERM® Vollure XC
Juvederm Vollure™ Dermal Filler for Mid Face
Juvederm Vollure is a hyaluronic acid facial filler, specifically designed for the nasolabial folds and for the parenthesis around the mouth. This is the longest lasting dermal filler on the market for the mid-face, lasting up to 18 months. Before Vollure, Juvederm was used to treat these mid-face areas, but Vollure uses what is called Vycross Technology, allowing the injector to contour the injected area and provide longer lasting results.
What does Juvederm Vollure treat?
JUVÉDERM® Vollure XC filler smooths moderate to severe lines and wrinkles associated with the normal aging process specifically around the mouth and nose. Injected deep into the facial tissue, it smooths wrinkles and folds by temporarily adding volume in the parentheses or nasolabial folds. The treatment will give you a subtle but remarkable result with lasting effect, up to 18 months. At Derma Health our approach is a naturally refreshed look (never over-done) so everyone will notice, no one will know.

Is Juvederm Vollure painful?
Everyone asks this!
Although you might experience some discomfort during and after the injection treatment, it is rare due to the combined use of topical cream anesthetic and the anesthetic which is mixed into the filler to reduce injection site pain. Most experience minimal discomfort.
During the treatment, you can expect to a feeling of pressure, not pain, as the gel is injected. It may feel “heavy” in the injected area. You may also hear sounds as the needle passes through the various facial tissues. Sometimes those sounds are like popping and/or crunching. This is normal. If at any time during the treatment you feel you need a break or feel lightheaded tell your provider.
How long is the Juvederm Vollure appointment?
The treatment itself is brief. Depending upon the areas to be addressed and the number of syringes of product used, the actual injections may take from 15 minutes to 1 hour. If your provider applies a topical numbing cream to the area before treatment that may add 20-45 minutes to the appointment.
How long does Juvederm Vollure last?

The good news is with regular touch-ups, less material (about half the amount) is usually needed for repeat injections.
How many treatments of Juvederm Volluredo I need?
