You may ask, “what makes Juvederm Vollure™ different than traditional Juvederm Ultra® or Juvederm Ultra Plus®?” The short answer is that Juvederm Vollure™ is a smoother product and provides a softer result.
Juvederm Vollure™ is created using Allergan’s patented Vycross™ cross-linking technology. This helps to create a filler that is more malleable and easier to inject. It allows for a softer “fill” and is especially effective at correcting fine lines. Juvederm Vollure™ also creates a more natural lip augmentation. In addition, it is less hydrophilic (attracting less water) than the other Juvederm® products, thus there is less swelling involved immediately after injection. […]
Juvederm Vollure has recently been added to our family of facial fillers. This may seem to add to the confusion of what filler is your best choice. Like other fillers Vollure has its place. With this said, while we may be in the double digits in FDA approved products in the US, we still have a long way to go. Keep in mind that England has over 200 fillers to choose from.
As we age, volume is lost in our face, thus increasing lines and wrinkles. When it comes to bone and fat loss this volume can be replaced by strategically […]
For the subtle reshaping and redefining of lips and facial contours
Juvederm Volbella® is the first FDA approved filler to provide correction of lip wrinkles and provide lip enhancement that lasts up to a year. Like other Juvederm fillers, it is made from hyaluronic acid (HA) providing a smooth long lasting correction with a product that is natural to your body. Volbella® utilizes a lower concentration of HAs allowing it to provide a better correction of difficult to treat fine lines as well as create a softer product for lip enhancement. Studies showed that 98% of people who had Juvederm Volbella® […]
Allergan announced last week that their newest Juvederm® product, Volbella® XC, received FDA approval. This product is the first and only product able to provide lip enhancement as well as correct lip lines for up to one year.
In clinical trials, JUVÉDERM® VOLBELLA® XC was found to effectively increase lip fullness and soften the appearance of lines around the mouth in a majority of subjects through one year. Like the other Juvederm® products, Volbella® is derived from naturally occurring hyaluronic acid. It provides the same safety and reversibility as Allergan’s other fillers. Volbella®’s formulation provides a softer composition to better enhance […]
Botox® and Juvederm® have long been recognized for their ability to soften lines and wrinkles and restore volume, but do they have any role in improving the look of our skin? Two new studies seem to say yes.
A recent article in the highly respected Journal of Dermatologic Surgery analyzed the effect of hyaluronic acid injections on the skin. As expected, patients were noted to have an improvement in facial rhytids and volume. More surprising, patients also noted an improved appearance of their skin. We have known for some time that hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvederm® attract water, providing a plumping […]
When it comes to nonsurgical cosmetic treatments, especially those involving injectable fillers, your satisfaction with the results may come down to something as simple as the quality of the products used. If your plastic surgeon has a wide range of brand name dermal fillers, determining which of these products will give you the best results can be an overwhelming feat. Of course, your plastic surgeon will make recommendations for the products that may best suit you and what benefits they can offer. Before your appointment, however, educate yourself on the top-ranked dermal filler brand, Juvederm, and see what makes it […]
Anyone without any experience with injectable treatments or dermal fillers might think they’re all created equal. They reduce the appearance of wrinkles, yes, but there’s more to know that just the results. If you’re interested in your own nonsurgical treatment with injectables to reduce some of the signs of aging from your skin, you have more choices to make than just showing up. The first step is your consultation with your physician, who will explain the procedure and your options. You may hear the words Botox and Juvederm, which are two popular injectable treatment options. However, they aren’t one and […]
Dr. Hamilton traveled to California in November for training and has been using JuvedermVoluma XC on select patients since that time.
Volume loss is a sign of aging and Dr. Hamilton believes Voluma XC is thebest option for correction. Our experience has shown that the filler isable to provide lift to the midface and cheeks as well as facialvolumization. Patients have noted immediate results with one session. Likeother fillers, bruising and swelling can be expected, but most patientshave been able to easily camouflage with make-up by the next day. Inaddition, all patients have described the treatments as minimally painful-even less than […]

Question:
What is the difference between Botox and injectable fillers such as Restylane and Juvederm? What is the best option for minimizing lines in my forehead and neck?
Answer:
Botox is a muscle relaxant. In general it works best on the upper half of the face and typically last for 3-4 months. Botox is a great option for softening lines in the forehead. Injectable fillers such as Restylane and Juvederm work by “filling in” lines and wrinkles. It in general does better on the lower half of the face and typically last 9-12 months. The neck area is generally not ideal for either, […]
