The cost of Juvéderm treatments can vary greatly depending on a number of factors, such as the type of product formula used, the provider's charges, the geographical location, and the amount of product needed to achieve the desired results. In the United States, the FDA works with Allergan to limit the number of fillers available to consumers, which allows them to increase the price of products and the cost to doctors and patients. Before a Juvederm procedure, many providers will apply a topical numbing cream to reduce discomfort. The cost of lip injections is determined by several factors, such as the type of filler used and the amount needed to achieve the desired aesthetic goals.
The most common lip fillers are Volbella, Belotero, Juvederm, and Restylane, all of which are hyaluronic acid fillers with different densities. The JUVEDERM family of fillers are all hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers that differ in concentration and binding between molecules. Volbella was specifically formulated by Juvederm to restore lip volume and shape while creating natural-looking results. Other common areas for Juvederm injections include the cheeks (Voluma XC), nasolabial folds and puppet lines around the mouth (Ultra Plus XC), and lips (Ultra XC).
The longevity of Juvederm treatments can range from nine to twelve months, although it is possible for the body to break down the injectable formula more quickly. Botox injections are often combined with Restylane or Juvederm fillers for optimal results. As one of Juvederm's basic formulas, Ultra can be used on the lips and around the mouth to soften fine lines and lines of lipstick, as well as increase lip volume. When comparing Juvederm and Restylane, Juvederm is generally more economical.
Other Juvederm formulas include Voluma XC for cheeks and chin, Ultra Plus XC for nasolabial folds and puppet lines around the mouth, and Ultra XC and Volbella XC for lips.
