Juvederm is a popular choice for those looking to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, lines, and other signs of skin aging. But how long does Juvederm last? In general, Juvederm fillers can last anywhere from nine months to two years, depending on the type of product used and the individual's natural makeup. The Juvederm family of fillers are all hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers that differ in concentration of (HA) and binding between molecules (HA). The most common areas for Juvederm injections are the cheeks (Juvederm Voluma XC), nasolabial folds and puppet lines around the mouth (Juvederm Ultra Plus XC and Juvederm VOLLURE XC), and lips (Juvederm Ultra XC and Juvederm VOLBELLA XC).The effects of Juvederm usually last only 18 months, so one year after the first injection is the best time to receive another treatment session.
This way, you can maintain your youthful appearance instead of allowing the effects to wear off. That said, on average, results can last from nine months to a year. A primary factor in determining the duration of Juvederm filler injections depends on the type of product being used. Juvederm Ultra is approved to last up to one year, while more robust fillers such as Voluma are approved by the FDA to last up to two years. Other factors that affect how long Juvederm lasts include where you inject it, the technique used, and the type of skin you have. To maintain perfect Juvederm results, you should attend a follow-up appointment at 12 months to make sure everything continues to look the right way.
Talk to a board-certified plastic surgeon to determine what type of Juvederm is best for your needs. It's quite possible that regular Juvederm will give you the long-lasting results you're looking for. You should avoid allowing Juvederm to completely disappear before receiving an additional injection. For approximately 4 months after the Juvederm injection, the fibroblastic skin cells in the treatment area produce more collage than before the injection, which improves the appearance and overall health of the skin.
