What is JUVÉDERM®?
Natural signs of aging can cause many people to become self-conscious about their appearance. JUVÉDERM® is a popular dermal filler that is used to fill in fine lines and wrinkles to leave patients with a more youthful-looking face. It works by adding fullness and improving tissue volume in the areas of the face where the signs of aging are most predominant. Our doctors have been using JUVÉDERM® for many years with excellent results.
Why is JUVÉDERM® Used?
Juvéderm is made of hyaluronic acid, which is a naturally occurring polysaccharide, or sugar, that is found in the skin and joints. The solution has a gel consistency and it is injected into areas of the face that are affected by lines and wrinkles. Often called a “liquid facelift,” it is a great alternative to expensive and invasive plastic surgery, which can require days, or even weeks of recovery, as well as the risk of scarring and infection. For patients who have a desire to look younger, it's effective at filling in lines and wrinkles and can be used to add volume to the cheeks and lips.
What Is JUVÉDERM® Volux?
JUVÉDERM® Volux is the first FDA-approved hyaluronic acid filler uniquely designed to help restore facial balance and create a stronger jawline. Specifically formulated to treat the jaw area, Volux is more structured than other dermal fillers, allowing it to be administered more deeply under the skin for a more effective treatment and beautiful, natural-looking results.
As a hyaluronic acid gel, Volux by JUVÉDERM® is highly cohesive and easy to concentrate in exactly the areas you want to improve. It also contains a small amount of the anesthetic lidocaine to help with any potential discomfort during the injection process. Because Volux is nonsurgical, it requires little to no downtime, meaning you can get back to your everyday activities as soon as you leave the office.
Our team at the Rendon Center is highly skilled and knowledgeable in all forms of dermal fillers, including Volux by JUVÉDERM®. We are committed to providing the highest level of personal attention, comfort, convenience, and privacy to every patient.

How Long Does JUVÉDERM® Volux Last?
One of the primary perks of chin and jawline dermal fillers like Volux is that they provide beautiful, natural-looking results without the need for drastic surgeries. Unlike implants that may be improperly sized or shift, Volux is injected directly into the desired area to the exact amount necessary to achieve beautiful results. In the unlikely instance that you’re unsatisfied with your results, Volux can easily be dissolved in office using the enzyme hyaluronidase if needed.
For most patients, Volux by JUVÉDERM® lasts between 6 to 18 months. This means you will likely only need to get follow-up injections once or twice per year, depending on your treatment plan. Like other dermal fillers, Volux can be injected at your convenience, including during your lunch break or between errands.
What Does Treatment Involve?
The procedure is easy, quick, and provides immediate results. After the initial consultation, patients will be given pre-treatment instructions. It is recommended that patients who are on an aspirin or ibuprofen regimen, or any blood-thinning medications, eliminate this a week prior to your procedure if possible, to reduce the risk of bleeding and bruising. Please consult your primary care physician before stopping any medications.
What Happens Before JUVÉDERM® Treatment?
Patients will have all make-up and cosmetics removed prior to treatment. Our doctors will evaluate the treatment area to determine the appropriate injection points and a topical anesthetic will be applied. Our doctors will place a fine needle in the treatment area and slowly inject the filler while gently removing the needle from the skin. This technique ensures a smooth and natural looking delivery of the filler. Patients may feel some slight discomfort or stinging during the injection, but this will go away quickly.
What Can I Expect After Getting JUVÉDERM® Fillers?
After the procedure, some people may experience slight redness, tenderness, or mild bruising near the injection points, but this will resolve quickly. Juvéderm treatment results can last anywhere from nine months to a year.
If you are looking for a quick and natural looking way to restore youth to your face, Rendon Center provides our patients with the most effective dermal filler treatments. Our combination of innovative technology and experience translates to superior, quality care.
What Are the Benefits of Using JUVÉDERM®?
Juvederm provides direct benefits to your skin. The injection of hyaluronic acid helps to reduce lines and wrinkles visible in the skin. There are other fillers and techniques that can produce similar results. There are many benefits to having Juvederm. It is a non-surgical procedure, meaning it causes less downtime and discomfort relative to procedures like a facelift. It’s a low-risk way to rejuvenate skin. Juvederm is based on a naturally occurring chemical in your skin.
What Are the Risks?
Similar to many cosmetic procedures, JUVÉDERM® does have a few risks. With JUVÉDERM®, the biggest risks involve a reaction in your skin. You might see bruising, swelling, lumps, bumps, or discoloration shortly after the procedure. These usually fade in a few days.
More serious but less common side effects include infection and intravascular injection. If a JUVÉDERM® injection hits a blood vessel, it can disrupt blood flow through that vessel. While this is rarely serious, it can complicate the procedure.
How Long Does it Take to Recover From a Treatment Session?
Most people recover fully from a Juvederm injection in a few days to a few weeks. Most of that recovery relates to any bruising, swelling, or discoloration caused by the injections themselves.
Even when these side effects occur, most people can be active and live normally on the very same day they receive their treatment. Your provider might warn you against strenuous activity and excessive sun exposure for the first 24 hours after treatment.
How Many Sessions Do I Need to See Results?
One of the most compelling aspects of JUVÉDERM® is how fast it works. Most people see results after a single session. On top of that, the results usually last anywhere from six months to two years.
Eventually, your body will reabsorb the hyaluronic acid, and the results will start to fade. On average, patients schedule procedures every six months to stay ahead of this. But, that schedule varies from one person to the next, and you can expect to see results within two weeks of your first session.
Can You Combine Juvederm With Other Treatments?
You can safely combine JUVÉDERM® with a number of other treatments. In plenty of cases, your provider can apply JUVÉDERM® along with other fillers in a single session. Keep in mind that the fillers are never mixed. Instead, specific fillers might be chosen for better results in different areas.
JUVÉDERM® also safely combines with alternative treatments like laser cosmetics. You can discuss options with your provider to get the most flexibility in how you approach treatments.
How Much Does JUVÉDERM® Cost?
The cost of a Juvederm session varies depending on a number of factors. The amount of medication used, the duration of the session, the number of areas targeted, and the specific areas in question all impact the final price.
The price of Juvederm depends on your location and your provider. With special promotions, those numbers can drop considerably. You can work with your provider to explore specials and opportunities to keep costs down and effectiveness high.
Frequently Asked Questions About JUVÉDERM®
Considering JUVÉDERM® Volux for a more sculpted jawline or defined chin? We’ve put together answers to some of the most common questions so you know exactly what to expect from this innovative dermal filler treatment.
1. How is JUVÉDERM® Volux different from other JUVÉDERM® fillers?
JUVÉDERM® Volux is different from other JUVÉDERM® fillers because it is specially formulated to create structure, shape, and definition in the jawline and chin, rather than smoothing wrinkles or adding volume in different areas. Volux contains a dense, long-lasting hyaluronic acid gel that offers greater firmness and lift, making it the go-to choice when you want visible, sculpted enhancement for your lower face.
If you've tried other JUVÉDERM® products for wrinkles or lips, you might notice that Volux feels sturdier under the skin and is specifically engineered to create sharper contours and natural definition for the jaw and chin. During your consultation, your provider will carefully assess your facial structure to ensure volumetric placement achieves the most flattering, symmetrical result.
2. How long do the results of JUVÉDERM® Volux last?
The results of JUVÉDERM® Volux can last from 6 to 18 months, making it a great, long-lasting filler for jawline enhancement and chin definition. Most people enjoy improved definition for well over a year, though your personal results could vary depending on your metabolism, lifestyle and the treatment area. Your provider will give you guidance on how to maintain your look and will let you know when it might be time to schedule a touch-up.
3. When will I see my final results after a Volux treatment?
You will see your final results after a Volux treatment within a few weeks after your injections. Most people have noticeable initial volume following treatment with swelling and bruising. By around the 2 to 4 week mark, the residual puffiness should completely resolve, and the product will fully settle into the tissue, creating your final look.
4. Is there any downtime required after JUVÉDERM® Volux injections?
There is minimal to no downtime required after JUVÉDERM® Volux injections, and most people are able to return to daily activities right away. You might have some localized swelling, tenderness, redness or minor bruising at the injection site, but these effects are typically mild and resolve in a few days. To ensure the best results, it’s a good idea to avoid strenuous exercise, excessive heat or sun exposure and massaging the treated area for the first day or two. Your provider will give you complete aftercare instructions so you feel fully confident as you recover.
5. Can JUVÉDERM® Volux be reversed if I don’t like the results?
JUVÉDERM® can be reversed if you don't like the results. This dermal filler is made of hyaluronic acid, which means your provider can use hyaluronidase to dissolve it safely and effectively if necessary. Your provider will work closely with you from your first visit to the final outcome to make sure you feel supported and satisfied with each step. However, if you're unhappy with your results or want adjustments, you can speak with your provider about this option. Knowing that Volux can be reversed gives you extra peace of mind as you move forward with treatment.
