Dermal Fillers for Volume & Smoothing

Dermal fillers, also known as facial fillers, are injectable treatments used to add volume and smooth out wrinkles and fine lines on the face. The Juvéderm® collection of fillers—one of the most popular brands on the market—are made from hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance found in the skin.


The Juvéderm® collection of fillers (including VOLUMA™ XC, VOLBELLA™ XC, and VOLLURE™ XC is used to smooth out wrinkles and fine lines, including those around the nose and mouth, as well as to plump up the lips. The fillers are also used to strategically add volume to areas of the face that have lost volume due to aging, such as the cheeks, temples, and around the mouth. Additionally, the newest formulation of Juvéderm®—VOLUX™ XC—is used to improve lost definition in the jawline.


Treatment with Juvéderm® typically involves injecting the filler into the desired area using a fine needle. The procedure is done in office and takes about 30 minutes to an hour. There is little to no downtime associated with the procedure, and most people are able to return to their normal activities immediately after treatment.


The effects of Juvéderm® typically last for about 6-12 months, after which the treatment can be repeated to maintain the desired results.

    WARNINGS

    Do not inject into blood vessels. Introduction of these products into the vasculature may lead to embolization, occlusion of the vessels, ischemia, or infarction. Take extra care when injecting soft-tissue fillers; for example, inject the product slowly and apply the least amount of pressure necessary. Rare, but serious, adverse events associated with the intravascular injection of soft-tissue fillers in the face have been reported and include temporary or permanent vision impairment, blindness, cerebral ischemia or cerebral hemorrhage leading to stroke, skin necrosis, and damage to underlying facial structures. Immediately stop the injection if a patient exhibits any of the following symptoms: changes in vision, signs of a stroke, blanching of the skin, unusual pain during or shortly after the procedure. Patients should receive prompt medical attention and, possibly, evaluation by an appropriate healthcare professional specialist should an intravascular injection occur

    Product use at specific sites in which an active inflammatory process (skin eruptions such as cysts, pimples, rashes, or hives) or infection is present should be deferred until the underlying process has been controlled

    PRECAUTIONS

    In order to minimize the risk of potential complications, these products should only be used by healthcare professionals who have appropriate training, experience, and knowledge of facial anatomy

    Healthcare professionals are encouraged to discuss the potential risks of soft-tissue injections with their patients prior to treatment and ensure that patients are aware of signs and symptoms of potential complications

    If laser treatment, chemical peel, or any other procedure based on active dermal response is considered after treatment, or if these products are administered before the skin has healed completely, there is a possible risk of an inflammatory reaction at the treatment site

    Patients who experience skin injury near the site of implantation may be at a higher risk for adverse events
