JUVÉDERM ULTRA® XC is a little more robust, with its own pattern of HA molecule sizes and proprietary number of crosslinks. ULTRA® is for the more dramatic lip volume seeker, who won't be satisfied with anything less than the perfect pout.
Volumizing fillers such as Juvederm Ultra Plus or Restylane Lyft would be the best options to create more fullness.
Juvéderm® Volbella is best used as a lip filler and results in a more natural, full lip line. The effect of Volbella is subtle, which is the look people seek these days; plus, it lasts for up to one year.
If you simply want to make your lips significantly fuller, we recommend ULTRA® XC. It has a much thicker consistency than VOLBELLA® and adds significant volume.
For instance, both are used for the treatment of facial lines and wrinkles, but Juvederm Ultra Plus is a thicker more viscous substance than Juvederm Ultra. Therefore, Ultra Plus can provide more dramatic results in areas with deeper lines and hollows in the skin.
Juvederm Ultra XC is a more cohesive gel and thus is more suited to adding fullness to thin lips. Not only that, Juvederm Ultra XC is approved for other uses, including the correction of medium to deep facial wrinkles. Both Juvederm Ultra XC and Juvederm Volbella have similar durations of action of about one year.
Juvederm Voluma is the thickest filler in the Juvederm family. It is FDA approved for volumizing and augmenting the cheekbones along the zygomatic arch of the face. Voluma can also be used in deep nasolabial folds and marionette lines around the mouth.
A 1ml syringe of Volbella can run upwards of $800 in the hands of an experienced injector. Not all lips need the same amount of filler. While many practices have a price per syringe, the cost of lip injections varies depending on the patient and the desired results.
Many plastic surgeons say that Juvederm and Restylane are the most durable and longest-lasting fillers available. Both contain hyaluronic acid and are good for smoothing wrinkles and lines. Hyaluronic acid carries 1,000 times its weight in water and makes the skin look young, supple, and soft.
Juvederm Ultra XC: The single most popular Juvederm treatment, Juvederm Ultra XC helps add fullness and plumpness to the lips. It's helpful for lips that have thinned out over time, and also for other lower areas of the face in many cases.
Juvéderm Ultra is one of the most popular Hyaluronic Acid fillers in the industry, considered to be the gold standard of lip filler. It creates gorgeous volume and structure in the lips, while also maintaining a soft and natural feeling.
Hyaluronic acid fillers are now the most widely used injection to plump and define lips. Hyaluronic acid is a gel-like substance made from bacteria. It creates an appearance of thick lips by attaching itself to water molecules in the skin.
Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers like Restylane® and Juvederm® boast many youth-preserving benefits, from smoothing facial lines to restoring lost volume. But, did you know that these fillers also actually stimulate your body's own collagen production?
Again, the amount of lip filler used is important for achieving your desired results. If you want noticeably plumper lips but don't want to go too far, a half syringe of filler may be enough. This will give you a more natural-looking and subtle result.
Why Are Filler Results Temporary? Dermal fillers are created using naturally occurring enzymes, such as hyaluronic acid. For this reason, they are metabolized by your body over time. The speed of your metabolism will greatly affect how long your treatment results last.
Hydration not only keeps wrinkles at bay, but helps maintain your injections. In addition to drinking water, hydrate your skin with topical treatments. Choose a moisturizer with hyaluronic acid to reduce inflammation and slow the process with which your body breaks down your injectables.
Unlike other dermal fillers such as Sculptra, Juvederm does not significantly expand after injection. This allows Juvederm to create a smooth result and for the patient to immediately get an idea after treatment of the result that they will live with.
Volbella is a Juvederm dermal filler designed to plump and augment the lips. It is FDA-approved to not only add volume to the lips but to smooth lines and wrinkles around the mouth that often result from sun damage, lifestyle factors, and the aging process.
JUVÉDERM® VOLBELLA® XC injectable gel is for injection into the lips for lip augmentation and for correction of perioral lines (lines around the mouth), often called lipstick lines, vertical lip lines, or lip wrinkles, in adults over the age of 21.
How many syringes of Volbella will I need? Most patients will need one syringe of Volbella 1cc for lip injections, with touch-ups being every 6 months to a year. Most patients will need 1 -2 syringes of Volbella 1 cc for the tear troughs, with touch-up injections done every year.
How Long It Lasts. Juvederm lasts longer than products like Botox and Dysport, and patients can enjoy its effects for a period varying between six months and a year. Voluma lasts even longer than Juvederm – its effects are apparently for up to two years.
Does that mean a thicker filler will last longer than a thinner one? Not necessarily. There are three main aspects to how long a filler will last; the individual's metabolism, the type of filler used and where it is placed.
On August 3, 2022, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) announced the approval of Juvéderm's newest filler: Volux.
