The FDA-approved injectable is an excellent treatment for fine lines and wrinkles, making thin lips more sensuous, and fading the deep “smile lines” around the mouth.

JUVÉDERM Filler Options
JUVÉDERM® Ultra XC
The smooth consistency of JUVÉDERM Ultra is perfect for restoring volume to the face and lips. JUVÉDERM Ultra adds fullness to the lips and softens lines around the mouth called perioral wrinkles. It also diminishes the appearance of moderate to severe wrinkles such as marionette lines. JUVÉDERM Ultra XC filler results last up to 6 to 12 months.
JUVÉDERM® VOLBELLA® XC
This versatile, injectable filler augments the lips, smooths perioral lines, and plumps sunken areas under the eyes for a more refreshed appearance. Most people enjoy their JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA XC results for up to one year.
JUVÉDERM® VOLLURE® XC
This JUVÉDERM® filler improves moderate to severe facial lines and folds. It is commonly used to fill in nasolabial folds and lasts up to 18 months.
JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC
This filler is approved by the FDA to add volume to the cheek area. It is injected deeper into the skin than other fillers and lasts up to 2 years. As another product in the JUVÉDERM family, it is similar in composition to other JUVÉDERM fillers , but its denser formulation is designed specifically for boosting cheek volume.
Who Is a Good Candidate for JUVÉDERM?
Women and men concerned about fine lines and wrinkles, the loss of volume in the lips and midface, and other early signs of facial aging can benefit from JUVÉDERM injections. Most of the patients considering fillers at our practice aren’t ready for surgical rejuvenation, such as a facelift. Their skin retains most of its elasticity and there is little sagging of the underlying muscle and tissue. Dr. Jarmuz’s JUVÉDERM patients range in age from 20 to 80, but the majority are in their 30s to 50s. The most common goal among candidates is the desire to regain a more youthful appearance through a convenient, nonsurgical approach.
JUVÉDERM fillers have an impressive track record of minimizing the signs of aging in various areas of the face (see illustration). Originally approved by the FDA specifically to treat nasolabial folds (sometimes called “smile lines” or “parentheses”), JUVÉDERM gets great results when injected to add volume to the lips and erase other fine lines and wrinkles around the midface. If you have any of these concerns, you may be a good candidate.
Can JUVÉDERM Be Used as an Under-Eye Filler?
Yes, fillers can be used under the eyes to correct orbital hollowing by restoring volume to the tear trough. It’s important to choose an experienced injector such as Dr. Jarmuz when treating this sensitive and delicate area.
Your JUVÉDERM Treatment
Dr. Jarmuz tailors each JUVÉDERM treatment to your specific concerns. She is one of the few facial plastic surgeons in the Atlanta area who often uses a micro-cannula instead of a needle to inject cosmetic fillers. The cannula technique significantly reduces post-treatment bruising and swelling and enhances comfort during the injections.
JUVÉDERM, like many other fillers, is a hyaluronic acid (HA) filler. HA is a type of sugar found naturally in the body, so pre-treatment allergy testing isn’t needed. Most fillers these days come pre-mixed with lidocaine, a local anesthetic that helps keep you comfortable during the injections. Topical anesthetics are always used to ensure patients have relatively painless procedures.
Dr. Jarmuz and her team first cleanse the area you want to target and then complete the brief injections. The whole process lasts just a few minutes.
Recovery After JUVÉDERM Treatments
No downtime is needed, so you can return to your normal activities right away. Initially, you may have some swelling, redness, and tenderness in treated areas, but thanks to Dr. Jarmuz’s careful techniques, these side effects are usually mild and temporary.
Tips To Achieve Your Best Results
Here are some precautions that can help you attain optimal JUVÉDERM results:
- Do not drink alcohol starting a few days before until the day after treatment.
- Make sure you are well hydrated before and after your treatment.
- Avoid lying down for the first 3 to 4 hours.
- Avoid rubbing or putting pressure on treated areas until the next day.
- Postpone strenuous exercise for 24 hours.
- Stay out of the sun, saunas, and hot tubs for 24 hours to limit exposure to extreme heat.
We will provide you with post-treatment instructions and encourage you to contact us if you have any questions or concerns. Be sure to return for maintenance treatments as directed to continue looking your best.
Can JUVÉDERM Be Combined With Other Nonsurgical Procedures?
Dr. Jarmuz often customizes nonsurgical anti-aging treatments by combining procedures and fillers as part of a comprehensive approach to facial rejuvenation. She may recommend any of the following treatments in addition to JUVÉDERM injections:
- Restylane®: This family of HA fillers includes options created for specific areas of the face, such as the cheeks and lips. All contain lidocaine for enhanced comfort during injection.
- RHA® Collection: These unique dermal fillers contain a special resilient hyaluronic acid that doesn’t get in the way of facial expressions, even when injected around the eyes and mouth. Results typically last 12 to 15 months.
- BOTOX® Cosmetic, Dysport®, and XEOMIN®: Unlike fillers, these injectable neuromodulators minimize wrinkles by relaxing the facial muscles that constantly contract throughout the day as our faces change expression. They are excellent when used to soften forehead wrinkles and crow’s feet.
- HydraFacial®: This is a no-downtime procedure that cleanses, exfoliates, and hydrates the skin. It’s gentler than laser skin resurfacing, making it a good companion treatment with fillers.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the best age to start getting JUVÉDERM?
Adults of all ages benefit from these treatments. Younger people often choose JUVÉDERM to enhance the lips, cheeks, nose, chin, and jawline. People in their 30s and up benefit from facial rejuvenation and enhancing these areas.
Is JUVÉDERM more painful than BOTOX or Dysport injections?
While fillers are thicker and take longer to inject than neuromodulators, most contain lidocaine to minimize discomfort. Dr. Jarmuz also uses blunt-tipped micro-cannulas for a more comfortable treatment.
How long do JUVÉDERM results last?
The results of JUVÉDERM injections typically last up to 12 months, while the results of some other fillers wear off after about 6 to 9 months. JUVÉDERM VOLLURE XC can last even longer for up to 18 months; some people enjoy their JUVÉDERM VOLUMA XC results for as long as 2 years. Dr. Jarmuz recommends returning for touch-up treatments to maintain your filler results in a seamless manner.
What does JUVÉDERM cost?
The cost depends on what specific JUVÉDERM filler is used, how many areas of the face are treated, and your condition. Dr. Jarmuz believes that you shouldn’t have to pay for a full syringe of filler if it’s not needed to achieve your cosmetic goals. She works closely with patients to develop treatment plans and budgets that match their needs.
Will I see immediate results from JUVÉDERM?
Yes, JUVÉDERM and other fillers produce noticeable results immediately after the treatment. The final results, though, emerge a bit more gradually as any swelling resolves. One of the main reasons Dr. Jarmuz injects JUVÉDERM using a cannula is to limit visible effects associated with needle injections.
Is it worth getting JUVÉDERM?
Many people consider these treatments “worth it” because they are safe, quick, and a great way to correct signs of aging or enhance facial features with little to no downtime. It’s important to realize the results are temporary, and you will need commit to a regular treatment schedule to maintain your improvements.
