Time, genetics, gravity, and the environment all produce visible signs of aging. You can take several steps to help maintain your youthful appearance, including eating a highly nutritious diet, staying hydrated, and getting at least eight hours of quality sleep each night.
However, our skin naturally ages and a healthy lifestyle cannot reverse the clock. When you are ready to renew your youthful radiance, consider Juvéderm in Atlanta, a non-surgical and quick procedure to obtain smoother skin.

What Is Juvéderm and Does It Help?
Juvéderm is a hyaluronic acid-based filler that we offer to our patients in Atlanta. It is an FDA-approved non-surgical treatment that can reveal results faster than collagen-promoting injectables. Juvéderm products can add volume through their primary ingredient: hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring compound in the body that attracts fluid.
Juvéderm also boosts your body’s collagen production, creating longer-lasting results. Several different types of Juvéderm products are used on specific areas of the face, and they can serve specific purposes, including the following:
- Adding volume along the jawline
- Improving definition in shape
- Reducing wrinkles
- Diminishing the appearance of scars
- Adding fullness and definition to your lips
Juvéderm can be used for differing needs. The cosmetic professionals at Advanced Aesthetics Plastic Surgery Center can help you choose the right product to enhance your face shape or add volume where needed.
Examples of Juvéderm Products
The different types of Juvéderm have unique benefits and are appropriately suited for certain areas of the face. Below is an overview of these products and how they are used.
Juvéderm Voluma XC
Voluma XC is specifically designed to add volume to the cheek area. This helps address age-related mid-face volume loss as your body absorbs fat, and creates a more youthful shape and adds lift to the cheeks. The results can typically last up to two years.
Juvéderm Vollure XC
Vollure XC corrects moderate to severe facial wrinkles, particularly nasolabial folds extending from the nose’s sides to the corners of the mouth. These folds are also known as smile or laugh lines and typically produce deep creases. This product offers a balance of flexibility and durability that can last up to 18 months.
Juvéderm Ultra XC
Your surgeon or physician assistant will recommend Juvederm Ultra XC for lip augmentation or to smooth facial wrinkles and folds. Depending on several factors, including your metabolism, results typically last 9 to 12 months.
Juvéderm Ultra Plus XC
Ultra Plus XC is similar to Ultra XC in that it is used for moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds. However, its thicker consistency makes it more suitable for severe volume loss and deeper folds. This product generally lasts about nine to 12 months.
Juvéderm Volbella XC
Volbella XC is the go-to product for lip augmentation. It helps smooth the appearance of perioral lines, which are vertical lip lines that are sometimes called smoker lines. It also provides subtle volume and helps soften the area around the mouth, lasting around 12 months.
Juvéderm Volux XC
Facial volume loss and sagging skin can create a softer jawline. Volux XC improves jawline definition and helps to correct severe changes, with results lasting from 18 to 24 months.
What to Expect During Recovery
Injecting Juvéderm typically takes30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated. After the Juvéderm procedure, Atlanta patients can expect some swelling and bruising in the area, including minor pain.
Most products also contain lidocaine, which helps minimize the discomfort during the injection. However, side effects usually resolve within four weeks with minimal recovery time.
Your healthcare professional will advise you to avoid wearing makeup, smoking, drinking alcohol, getting in the sun, or strenuous activity for the first 24-48 hours. You will notice effects immediately, which become more apparent after the swelling goes down.
How to Prolong the Results
Each Juvéderm product lasts a certain amount of time, typically between 12 and 18 months. However, you can prolong those results by following several steps. First, closely adhere to the aftercare instructions provided by your healthcare practitioner. Second, avoid touching or massaging the area unless you are advised to do so.
Protect your skin from sun exposure using a broad-spectrum sunscreen of at least SPF 30 or more daily. Excessive sun exposure can break down hyaluronic acid faster. In addition, you will see better, longer-lasting results when you stay hydrated.
Maintain a healthy lifestyle by eating a diet rich in vitamins and antioxidants, getting regular physical activity, and eliminating smoking and excessive alcohol consumption. Talk to your healthcare provider about skin care products that use nourishing ingredients to complement the effects of Juvéderm.
Avoid high stress levels, as this can negatively affect skin health, and consider practicing activities like meditation or yoga to maintain a healthy balance. Finally, talk with your healthcare provider about scheduling follow-up appointments for touch-up treatments to help sustain the results over time.
