Juvederm Vollure XC Dermal Filler Injections in St. Louis, MO

If you’ve been researching dermal fillers to help smooth away moderate to severe facial lines, you’ve likely come across the name Juvederm Vollure XC. This injectable treatment has become increasingly popular among individuals seeking a natural-looking solution to age-related volume loss and the appearance of wrinkles.

What Is Juvederm Vollure XC?

Juvederm Vollure XC is a dermal filler that uses a hyaluronic acid (HA) gel to add volume beneath the skin. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps maintain skin hydration and elasticity. Over time, our natural HA levels diminish, contributing to the formation of facial lines and folds. Developed using Allergan’s proprietary Vycross® technology, Juvederm Vollure XC’s formulation is designed for smooth, even distribution once injected, resulting in natural-looking, subtle volume restoration. It is typically used for correcting moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, including nasolabial folds (the lines running from the nose to the corners of the mouth).

Who Makes It?

Juvederm Vollure XC is part of the renowned Juvederm family of fillers, which is manufactured by Allergan, now part of AbbVie. Allergan is a leader in aesthetic medicine, recognized for its innovative treatments and commitment to product safety and efficacy.

What Is It Used For?

While Juvederm products are commonly used for various facial rejuvenation purposes, Juvederm Vollure XC is particularly effective for:

  • Nasolabial folds (laugh lines)
  • Marionette lines (the lines that run vertically between the mouth and chin)
  • Moderate to severe wrinkles and folds around the lower face

The smooth gel helps restore lost volume, soften the appearance of lines, and create a more youthful contour. Many patients appreciate that the results look natural yet impactful, without the tell-tale “overfilled” look that some fear from injectable treatments.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

Ideal candidates for Juvederm Vollure XC are adults looking to reduce moderate to severe facial lines and folds. You may be an excellent candidate if you:

  • Have visible nasolabial folds or marionette lines you wish to diminish.
  • Desire subtle volume enhancement in the lower facial region.
  • Want a non-surgical treatment with minimal downtime.
  • Have realistic expectations about the results and understand potential side effects.

However, certain factors—such as pregnancy, breastfeeding, allergies to lidocaine or any other ingredients, or a history of severe allergic reactions—may make you ineligible for this treatment. Always discuss your full medical history with your healthcare provider before starting any cosmetic injection.

Benefits of Juvederm Vollure XC

  • Long-Lasting Results – Many patients enjoy results for up to 18 months, reducing the frequency of maintenance treatments.
  • Smooth, Natural Look – Thanks to Vycross technology, Juvederm Vollure XC integrates seamlessly into facial tissue.
  • Versatility – It effectively addresses moderate to severe folds in the lower face, including nasolabial folds and marionette lines.
  • Minimal Downtime – Most people can return to their daily activities immediately following treatment.
  • FDA-Approved – Like other Juvederm products, Juvederm Vollure XC has undergone rigorous testing to ensure safety and effectiveness.

Potential Side Effects

While generally well-tolerated, dermal fillers can have side effects. Commonly reported side effects include:

  • Redness at the injection site
  • Swelling
  • Bruising
  • Tenderness or mild discomfort
  • Itching or rash (less common)

General Questions

  • How soon will I see results? You'll notice an immediate improvement right after the injections.  However, it may take a week or two for the filler to fully settle and for any swelling to subside, revealing your final results.
  • How long do results last? Clinical studies show Juvederm Vollure XC can last up to 18 months. Individual factors like metabolism, lifestyle, and the treatment area can affect longevity.
  • Do the injections hurt? Most Juvederm fillers, including Vollure XC, contain lidocaine, a local anesthetic that helps minimize discomfort. Additionally, your injector may apply a topical numbing cream or ice to further reduce any pain.
  • How many syringes will I need? This depends on factors like the severity of your lines, the treatment area, and the results you hope to achieve.
  • Can I combine Juvederm Vollure XC with other treatments? Absolutely! Many patients choose to combine dermal fillers with other aesthetic treatments such as Botox®, chemical peels, or microneedling to achieve more comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Always discuss combination treatments with your provider to ensure a safe and effective plan.
  • Is there any downtime? One of the major advantages of dermal fillers is minimal downtime. You can typically resume normal activities right away, though you might experience mild swelling or bruising for a few days.
  • What if I don’t like my results? Hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved with hyaluronidase if you’re not satisfied with the outcome. That said, choosing a highly trained, experienced injector is key to ensuring beautiful, predictable results.

Additional Tips for Best Results

  • Attend a Consultation: A face-to-face assessment with your provider will help determine if Juvederm Vollure XC meets your goals and expectations.
  • Follow Pre- and Post-Treatment Instructions: Avoid blood-thinning medications, alcohol, and strenuous exercise before and after your injection to minimize bruising.
  • Schedule Maintenance Treatments: Though Juvederm Vollure XC can last 18 months, individual experiences vary. You may wish to schedule follow-up appointments to maintain your desired look.
