Many patients researching cosmetic treatment options for an aging face are hesitant to take the next step because of the amount of downtime associated with surgical procedures. If you’re one of these patients who has lost significant volume of the cheek bones or around the mouth, you may want to consider dermal fillers. JUVEDERM® Ultra XC, JUVEDERM® Ultra Plus XC, and JUVEDERM Voluma® XC are three injectable dermal fillers that can effectively correct loss of facial volume with no surgery and minimal downtime.
Located in Peru IL, the practice of Nicole Norris M.D. is dedicated to providing patients with a broad range of effective, minimally invasive cosmetic treatments. For more information about our practice or any of the services we offer, contact us today.
Both JUVEDERM® Ultra XC and JUVEDERM® Ultra Plus XC are hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers that are used to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds. While JUVEDERM® Ultra XC provides patients with a subtle boost to facial volume, JUVEDERM® Ultra Plus XC is used to bring patients more dramatic results. These products are particularly well-suited for lip augmentation, lines or volume replacement around the mouth, smile lines, and correcting deep nasolabial folds .
While having filler injected in the face is never entirely comfortable, JUVEDERM® Ultra XC and JUVEDERM® Ultra Plus XC are both mixed with lidocaine, a mild anesthetic that makes treatment significantly less painful. Each injection session takes approximately 20 minutes. While most patients experience minimal downtime, common side effects may include pain, swelling, bruising, itching, and redness at the injection site. Fortunately, these are typically mild and subside within a few days of treatment. The amount of time that your results last varies depending upon the area being treated and the product used, but most patients have results that last 6-12 months.

JUVEDERM Voluma® XC
JUVEDERM Voluma® XC is the only hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler that is FDA-approved to restore volume in the midface along the cheekbones. Because loss of facial volume in the midface is one of the main indicators of how old one looks, JUVEDERM Voluma® XC injections can have dramatic results. It’s a great option for patients that want to correct loss of facial volume without undergoing a full-blown facelift.
JUVEDERM Voluma® XC filler is mixed with lidocaine, a mild anesthetic that makes the pain of injection significantly more tolerable. The entire injection process takes about 30 minutes and features little to no downtime. Common side effects include tenderness, swelling, bruising, pain, and redness at the injection site. Fortunately, these side effects subside within a few days of treatment. Results are seen immediately with the full effect appreciated in about 3 weeks from injection. After just one injection session, a patient’s results are clinically shown to last two years.
JUVEDERM Volbella®
JUVEDERM Volbella® is a brand new lip augmentation injectable used to add subtle, natural-looking improvements to the size, shape, and volume of the lips. The results of a single JUVEDERM Volbella® injection session can bring patients beautiful results that last up to one year.
Because this product is formulated with lidocaine, a mild anesthetic, the injection process is more comfortable to undergo than that associated with other dermal fillers. Each session takes 20 short minutes to complete. While side effects like redness, swelling, and bruising are common after treatment, these are usually mild and subside within a few hours of receiving injections.
