JUVÉDERM is a collection of injectable dermal fillers used to restore volume, smooth facial folds, and enhance natural-looking facial contours. For patients in Lone Tree and Denver, CO, JUVÉDERM can be a helpful option for softening lines, improving facial balance, and addressing volume changes that develop with aging, sun exposure, and collagen loss.
At TRU Medical Aesthetics & Wellness, JUVÉDERM treatments are performed by Shanni Sutton, MSN, FNP-C, a board-certified family nurse practitioner with advanced training in aesthetic procedures and a strong eye for natural-looking results. Her approach to filler treatment focuses on thoughtful placement, facial harmony, and refreshed outcomes that enhance the patient’s features without creating an overfilled appearance.
What Is JUVÉDERM?
JUVÉDERM XC injectable gel is a U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved dermal filler designed to temporarily treat moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds, in adults. Nasolabial folds are the lines that run from the bottom of the nose to the corners of the mouth on both sides of the face.
JUVÉDERM XC is a smooth-consistency gel made with hyaluronic acid, often called HA. Hyaluronic acid is a sugar that occurs naturally in the body. In the skin, HA helps deliver hydration, provide cushioning, and support a smoother, fuller look.
Young, healthy skin contains higher levels of hyaluronic acid, but aging, sun exposure, and other factors can reduce its natural HA levels. As the skin loses structure and volume, wrinkles and folds may become more noticeable. JUVÉDERM helps replace volume beneath the skin to smooth and support the treated area.
How JUVÉDERM XC Supports Facial Volume
Unlike wrinkle relaxers, which reduce muscle movement, JUVÉDERM works by adding volume beneath the skin. This makes it especially useful for folds, hollowing, and contour changes that are related to volume loss rather than repeated expression.
JUVÉDERM XC is infused with lidocaine to make the injection more comfortable. The smooth gel consistency allows it to integrate into the treated area, creating a softer, more refreshed appearance when applied appropriately.
For customized treatment, different JUVÉDERM formulas may be selected based on the patient’s anatomy and goals. JUVÉDERM Ultra XC may be used for more superficial facial lines and folds, while JUVÉDERM Ultra Plus XC is a stronger formulation that may be selected for deeper facial folds and lines. A consultation helps determine which filler option is the best match for the area being treated.
JUVÉDERM Results And Longevity
The results of JUVÉDERM XC are visible immediately after injection, although swelling or bruising may temporarily affect the final appearance. Ice may be applied as directed, and most swelling and bruising improves over the next few days.
Results can last six to nine months and, in some cases, up to one year. Longevity varies based on the formula used, treatment area, metabolism, amount of product placed, and the patient’s aesthetic goals. Because dermal filler correction is temporary, touch-up treatments may be recommended to achieve or maintain optimal correction of wrinkles and folds.
Possible Risks Of JUVÉDERM XC
Although JUVÉDERM XC is considered safe when administered by a qualified provider, side effects can occur. They are usually limited to the injection site and may include:
- Redness
- Pain or tenderness
- Firmness
- Swelling
- Lumps or bumps
- Bruising
- Itching
- Discoloration
- Infection
Patients should share their medical history, allergies, medications, previous filler treatments, and aesthetic goals before treatment. A careful consultation helps reduce risk and allows Shanni Sutton to determine whether JUVÉDERM is appropriate.
