What are Dermal Fillers?
Juvéderm and Juvéderm Voluma XC are dermal fillers made with hyaluronic acid (HA), a substance naturally found in your body. HA helps your skin retain moisture, giving it a plump and youthful appearance.
​
Dermal fillers, also known as soft tissue fillers, are injectable treatments used to enhance facial features. They can be used to add volume to areas like the cheeks and chin, and smooth out wrinkles and folds.

Benefits of Dermal Fillers
Breakdown of some key advantages:
​
-
Reduced wrinkles and lines: Fillers can effectively plump up areas where wrinkles and lines have formed, resulting in a smoother and younger-looking appearance.
-
Restored volume loss: As we age, our skin naturally loses volume. Fillers can be used to restore fullness in areas like the cheeks and lips, creating a more youthful contour.
-
Enhanced facial features: Fillers can be used to define or augment facial features like the jawline, chin, or cheekbones, offering a more balanced and sculpted look.
-
Improved appearance of scars: In some cases, dermal fillers can be used to minimize the appearance of acne scars or other facial scars.
-
Relatively quick procedure: Compared to surgery, dermal filler injections are a minimally invasive procedure with shorter appointment times.
-
Potential for natural-looking results: When performed by a qualified professional, dermal fillers can provide subtle and natural-looking improvements.
​
It's important to remember that dermal fillers are not a permanent solution, and results typically last for 6 to 18 months depending on the type of filler used and the treatment area. Consulting with a board-certified dermatologist or licensed healthcare professional is essential to discuss your goals, understand potential side effects, and determine if dermal fillers are right for you.
