Then they will opt for a few syringes of Juvéderm and Restylane to fill lines
or plump lips for another $1,000 to $1,500 each.
However, this time the Juvéderm Vollure XC is FDA-approved to use
the Vycross technology in the nasolabial folds, which also happens to be the number-one dermal treatment area.
Juvéderm Vollure XC has been approved in Europe since
2013 under the name Juvéderm Volift and has been met with success in more than 80 countries outside of the U.S. since then.
Dr. Peredo says that although it is unclear in the study as to which"injection" was used,
a filler we have in the U.S. called Juvéderm Volbella is made with LMW-HA
and could potentially be used for something like this, off-label.
Hylauronic acid fillers like Restylane, Juvéderm and Perlane, which typically require just one session
and give instant results, can be used to add volume to the lips and cheeks and smooth out lines around the mouth(although there are plenty of off-label uses, too).
What's exciting about Juvéderm Vollure XC is that it was shown
to last up to 18 months from the initial or touch-up injection in a majority of subjects, which is the longest-lasting result shown in a clinical study in the nasolabial folds,” said Dr. Joely Kaufman, a board-certified dermatologist and clinical trial investigator, in a press release.
