How Long Does Juvederm® Last?

If you’ve started to notice more prominent wrinkles or folds on your face, then chances are you’ve done your research on Juvederm®.

This popular, FDA-approved brand includes several different types of facial fillers, each of which has a specific hyaluronic acid gel to achieve an aesthetic goal. From smoothing away facial lines and folds to enhancing lip size and volume, the Juvederm® name carries plenty of solutions that can help clients feel rejuvenated, younger, and confident in their skin.

But how long does Juvederm® last? Let’s take a closer look!

REAL RESULTS

*Individual Results May Vary

How Juvederm Works

Juvederm contains hyaluronic acid, a natural substance in your skin. This acid helps retain moisture, keeping the skin hydrated and firm. When injected, it fills wrinkles and adds volume to areas like the lips and cheeks.

As Juvederm is injected beneath the skin, it smooths out lines and folds. This reduces the appearance of wrinkles and gives the face a fuller, more youthful look.

Over time, the body absorbs the hyaluronic acid. Results typically last for several months before a touch-up is needed.

In some patients, Juvederm also boosts collagen production, which helps the skin stay elastic and firm for longer.

Average Length of Juvederm® Results

Juvederm® XC 

Juvederm® XC is a comprehensive dermal filler that’s designed to tackle moderate facial folds, wrinkles, and lines, especially around the nose, cheeks, and mouth. 

Juvederm® XC results vary, but most people can expect their results to last six to 12 months.

Juvederm® Ultra XC 

This FDA-approved dermal filler is similar to Juvederm® XC, but designed to tackle moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds.

Juvederm® Ultra XC results vary, but most people can expect to see significant improvement for six to twelve months.

Factors Affecting Juvederm Longevity

Several factors influence how long Juvederm results last. The most important one is the treatment area. Fillers in highly mobile areas, like the lips, may not last as long as those in less active areas, such as the cheeks.

Each patient’s metabolism also plays a role. People who metabolize faster may see their results fade quicker. This is because the body naturally breaks down the hyaluronic acid over time.

The amount of filler used can impact the longevity as well. Larger amounts can provide longer-lasting results, while smaller amounts might require more frequent touch-ups.

Lifestyle choices, such as sun exposure and smoking, can shorten the lifespan of Juvederm by accelerating the breakdown of collagen and hyaluronic acid.

Juvederm® Volbella XC 

Have you always wanted a plumper pout that’s selfie-ready at any moment? Then Juvederm® Volbella XC might be the right choice for you. This dermal filler is designed to add volume to thinning lips, as well as smooth away vertical lip wrinkles.

Juvederm® Volbella XC results can last anywhere from nine months to one year, depending on the person.

Juvederm® Voluma XC 

If you’ve noticed that your cheeks are starting to appear more hollow or you have dark undereye circles, then Juvederm® Voluma XC sounds like the right solution for you. This dermal filler uses a thicker hyaluronic acid formula to gently lift hollow areas, which can help create youthful-looking volume while smoothing out mid-facial wrinkles and lines.

Juvederm® Voluma XC results are the longest-lasting of the bunch, as they can last up to two years.

Comparison of Juvederm Products

Juvederm offers several different products, each designed for specific areas and results:

  • Juvederm XC: Targets moderate facial wrinkles and folds, especially around the nose and mouth. Results last around 6 to 12 months.
  • Juvederm Ultra XC: Similar to XC but designed for more severe wrinkles. Results typically last 6 to 12 months.
  • Juvederm Volbella XC: Ideal for adding volume to lips and smoothing lip lines. Lasts 9 months to 1 year.
  • Juvederm Voluma XC: The longest-lasting option, used to add volume to the cheeks and treat hollow areas. Results can last up to 2 years.

Each filler has a different texture and thickness, which allows for more precise and natural-looking results in different areas of the face.

Maintenance and Touch-Ups

While Juvederm results can last from several months to two years, touch-up treatments are important to maintain optimal results. Most patients notice that the effects start to fade around the 6 to 12-month mark, depending on the area treated.

Regular touch-ups help extend the results and keep the skin looking smooth and youthful. For areas like the cheeks, a touch-up might only be needed once a year. For areas like the lips, touch-ups may be required more frequently.

It’s important to monitor how your skin looks and schedule a touch-up as soon as you notice volume loss or fine lines reappearing.

Tips for Prolonging Juvederm Results

There are several ways to help your Juvederm results last longer:

  • Stay hydrated: Drinking plenty of water helps hyaluronic acid in Juvederm retain moisture, which can prolong its effects.
  • Avoid sun exposure: UV rays can break down the filler faster. Use sunscreen regularly and avoid prolonged exposure to the sun.
  • Maintain a healthy lifestyle: Eating a balanced diet and avoiding smoking can slow the breakdown of the filler. Smoking, in particular, accelerates the aging process and reduces the filler’s effectiveness.
  • Good skincare: Use moisturizers and sunscreen as part of your daily routine to keep your skin in optimal condition.

Following these steps can help you get the most out of your Juvederm treatment.

Juvederm Safety and Side Effects

Juvederm is considered safe and is FDA-approved for cosmetic use. However, like any injectable treatment, there can be side effects. Common side effects include swelling, bruising, and redness at the injection site. These usually resolve within a few days.

In rare cases, patients may experience more serious side effects like infection, allergic reactions, or lumps under the skin. It’s important to consult with a qualified physician before treatment to minimize these risks.

If you have a history of severe allergies or are allergic to any of the ingredients in Juvederm, let your doctor know before treatment.
