Juvéderm is a hyaluronic acid dermal filler used to restore volume and smooth facial creases and severe facial wrinkles on many areas of the face. Selecting the right type of Juvéderm is vital for the best outcome depending on your skin type, age, and area that needs to be treated. There are many FDA-approved dermal filler options available with varying formulas to best treat different areas of the face.
Juvéderm Filler Treatment
Before treatment, your provider reviews your medical history, evaluates the treatment area, and discusses your aesthetic goals to determine whether this injectable treatment is appropriate. A topical numbing cream may be applied before your provider uses a fine needle or cannula to place the filler into the facial tissue. Like any medical procedure, facial injections carry risks, including temporary redness, swelling, bruising, and tenderness in the treated area, as well as rare but serious complications.
Juvéderm Treatment Options
Juvéderm is among the most popular dermal fillers, with several formulations designed for different concerns and injection sites. Depending on your needs, your provider may recommend a product for cheek augmentation, improving your chin profile, or enhancing jawline definition. Your consultation can also include a comparison with other dermal fillers and cosmetic treatments, helping your provider select an optimal treatment plan for your anatomy and desired results.
Juvéderm Voluma
Voluma is the thickest and longest-lasting Juvéderm product. Hyaluronic acid fillers such as voluma are designed to restore volume and add definition to the cheek area, jawline, and chin. It can also be used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and folds around the mouth and nose.
Juvéderm Vollure
Vollure is a softer and smoother Juvéderm product that is ideal for areas of the face that require a more natural-looking result. This HA dermal filler is primarily used to add volume to wrinkles like smile lines around the mouth and nose. It also fills in hollows in the temples and tears troughs beneath the eyes.
Juvéderm Ultra XC
Ultra XC injectable gel is the thinnest Juvéderm product for sensitive facial areas. It enhances lips through liquid lip augmentation and smooths wrinkles and lines around the mouth, including smoker’s lines or vertical lip lines. Ultra XC injectable fillers can also fill in hollows in the cheeks and temples for a more youthful look.
Juvéderm XC

Juvéderm Volbella
Volbella is a smooth filler designed to be gentle and natural-looking. It is primarily used to add subtle volume and definition to the lips and to reduce the appearance of fine lines around the mouth, including the smoker’s lines on the lips. Volbella can also reduce the appearance of scars and other blemishes.
Juvéderm Ultra Plus XC
Juvéderm Ultra Plus XC has a thicker formula that allows it to be used for deep wrinkles, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, forehead lines, and other areas that need structured definition.
What Can Juvéderm Injections Treat?
Juvéderm® can address age related volume loss, soften deep facial folds, and enhance facial contours without surgical intervention. Its fillers contain a modified form of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance found in the human body that helps retain moisture. By replenishing lost volume, treatment can support a youthful appearance while complementing your individual facial features.
Areas of the Face Dermal Fillers Can Treat
Depending on the product selected, Juvéderm can treat the cheeks, chin, jawline, lips, and certain facial wrinkles and folds. Specific formulations can soften moderate to severe laugh lines around the nose and mouth, creating the appearance of smoother skin and a more youthful appearance. If your main concern is frown lines between the eyebrows, your provider may recommend a neuromodulator rather than filler because these lines commonly develop from repeated muscle movement.
