Juvéderm® is a collection of hyaluronic acid dermal fillers designed to restore volume, soften facial folds, and refine specific features without surgery. Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally found in the body that helps retain moisture and support soft tissue. At Funt Aesthetics, Dr. David K. Funt draws on his extensive experience in facial anatomy and injectable treatments to select the product and placement that best suit each patient’s features and goals.
Because different Juvéderm formulations are designed for different areas of the face, treatment can range from subtle lip enhancement to restoring cheek volume, softening smile lines, or improving chin and jawline definition.
What Can Juvéderm® Improve?
Juvéderm fillers can be used to address several types of age-related volume loss and facial contour concerns. Depending on the specific product, treatment may help:
-
Soften moderate to severe facial folds and smile lines
-
Add volume and shape to the lips
-
Restore cheek or midface volume
-
Improve chin projection
-
Refine jawline definition
-
Improve under-eye hollows
-
Restore volume in the temple area
Each formulation has its own approved uses, so the product selected depends on the area being treated and the type of correction needed.
How Juvéderm® Hyaluronic Acid Fillers Work
Juvéderm products are smooth, cross-linked hyaluronic acid gels injected beneath the skin to add volume or support where volume has been lost. Juvéderm Ultra XC, for example, is FDA-approved for the correction of moderate-to-severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds.
Because hyaluronic acid holds moisture, it can create soft volume while helping treated areas look smoother. The amount of product and depth of injection vary according to the formulation and the facial structure being treated.
Juvéderm® Product Options
The Juvéderm collection includes several fillers with different properties and treatment roles. Dr. Funt may recommend a single product or a combination, depending on the patient’s needs.
Juvéderm Ultra XC may be used for lip enhancement and certain facial folds, while Juvéderm Ultra Plus XC and Vollure XC can address deeper wrinkles and folds. Voluma XC may be used for areas such as the cheeks, chin, and temples; Volbella XC for lips and under-eye hollows; and Volux XC for jawline definition.
The goal is to select the formulation that provides the right degree of softness, structure, and support for the area being treated.
What Happens During a Juvéderm® Treatment?
The injection process is usually completed during a short office visit. Before treatment, the area is evaluated and cleaned, and a topical anesthetic may be used when appropriate.
Juvéderm is then injected beneath the skin in carefully selected locations to add volume, soften folds, or improve contour. Afterward, Dr. Funt may gently massage the area depending on the product and treatment location.
Precise placement is especially important with dermal fillers because facial blood vessels and surrounding structures vary by area. Current Juvéderm guidance emphasizes treatment by providers with detailed knowledge of facial anatomy, vasculature, safe injection technique, and the management of possible complications.
Juvéderm® Recovery and Results
There is generally little downtime after Juvéderm treatment. Temporary redness, swelling, tenderness, firmness, bruising, or small bumps can occur around the injection sites and typically improve as the area settles.
Patients may be advised to avoid strenuous exercise, excessive heat, and prolonged sun exposure during the early period after treatment. Results are often visible soon after injection, although swelling can temporarily affect the final appearance.
How long improvement lasts depends on the specific Juvéderm product, treatment area, amount injected, and individual metabolism. Juvéderm fillers are temporary, and maintenance treatment may be considered as the effects gradually diminish.
Why Choose Funt Aesthetics for Juvéderm®?
Juvéderm treatment requires more than choosing a filler based on the area named on the syringe. Dr. David K. Funt has spent years teaching facial anatomy and advanced injectable techniques, which has given him a detailed understanding of how volume, bone structure, muscle movement, and facial proportions interact. He is a national instructor for Galderma and Merz USA and has also served in medical-director roles for major aesthetic companies, reflecting his broader experience with injectable products and treatment planning.
Dr. Funt is particularly well known for his work involving filler techniques and the prevention and management of filler-related complications. At Funt Aesthetics, Juvéderm placement is guided by the patient’s anatomy and desired degree of correction, with an emphasis on proportion, restraint, and results that integrate naturally with the rest of the face.
