Juvederm™ Volbella XC

This type of Juvederm is specifically designed to enhance the lips and treat fine lines around the mouth. It can add subtle volume to the lips, define the lip border, and smooth out vertical lip lines. Juvederm Volbella XC is formulated with a softer gel consistency for a natural and smooth result.

Juvederm™ Voluma XC

This type of Juvederm is specifically designed to add volume to the cheeks for cheek augmentation. It can help restore youthful contours to the face and provide a more lifted appearance. Juvederm Voluma XC is formulated with a thicker gel consistency to provide longer-lasting results.

RESTYLANE™

Dr. Lesavoy offers Restylane®, a popular choice as a dermal filler for treating facial wrinkles and folds and for plumping up lips. Because it is water-soluble, it fills wrinkles and depressions in the skin with a natural substance that is slowly reabsorbed by the body.

Restylane is used for for treating wrinkles around the corners of the mouth, lips, nasolabial folds, and frown lines. Results from Restylane typically last from 6 to 12 months.

What dermal fillers can’t do

Depending on your specific cosmetic goals, surgery such as a facelift, brow lift, or eye lift may be the best approach. Non-surgical rejuvenation treatments, such as facial fillers, cannot achieve the same results as cosmetic surgery. Dermal fillers for facial wrinkles and thinning lips may help delay the time when consideration of when facial plastic surgery becomes appropriate.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Are there any reasons why I should not receive any JUVÉDERM® formulation?

Do not use these products if you have a history of multiple severe allergies or severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis), if you are allergic to lidocaine or the Gram-positive bacterial proteins used in these products, or if you have had previous allergic reactions to hyaluronic acid fillers.

What warnings should my doctor advise me about?

• One of the risks with using dermal fillers is the unintentional injection into a blood vessel. The chances of this happening are very small, but if it does happen, the complications can be serious and may be permanent. These complications, which have been reported for facial injections, can include vision abnormalities, blindness, stroke, temporary scabs, or permanent scarring of the skin. Most of these events are irreversible.
• If you have changes in your vision, signs of a stroke (including sudden difficulty speaking, numbness or weakness in your face, arms or legs, difficulty walking, face drooping, severe headache, dizziness, or confusion), white appearance of the skin, or unusual pain during or shortly after treatment, you should notify your health care practitioner immediately.
• The use of dermal fillers where skin sores, pimples, rashes, hives, cysts, or infections are present should be postponed, as this may delay healing or make skin problems worse.
• The effectiveness of removal of any dermal filler has not been studied.

What precautions should my doctor advise me about?

• JUVÉDERM® VOLBELLA® XC should only be injected into undereye hollows by doctors who have completed the necessary training for this treatment area. To find a doctor, visit com/find-a-specialist. Doctors who complete the training will be listed with a symbol
• The safety of these products for use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding has not been studied
• The safety of JUVÉDERM® VOLUMA® XC has not been studied in patients under 35 years or over 65 years for cheek augmentation, or under 22 years and over 80 years for chin augmentation. The safety of JUVÉDERM® VOLUX® XC, JUVÉDERM® VOLLURE® XC and JUVÉDERM® VOLBELLA® XC has not been studied in patients under 22 years, and the safety of JUVÉDERM® Ultra Plus XC and JUVÉDERM® Ultra XC has not been studied in patients under 18 years
• The safety and effectiveness of treatment with JUVÉDERM® products in anatomical regions outside of their approved uses have not been established in clinical studies
• If you have a history of excessive scarring (thick, hard scars) or pigmentation disorders, treatment in these patients has not been studied and may result in additional scars or changes in pigmentation
• If you are planning other procedures including laser treatments or a chemical peel, there is a possible risk of inflammation at the treatment site if these procedures are performed closely before or after JUVÉDERM® injectable gel treatment
• Tell your doctor if you are on therapy used to reduce your body’s natural defense system (such as steroids, chemotherapy, and medicines to treat autoimmune diseases, HIV, and AIDs), as these may increase your risk of infection; and medications that can prolong bleeding (such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or other blood thinners), as these may result in increased bruising or bleeding at the injection site.
• Avoid applying makeup for 12 hours after treatment and minimize strenuous exercise, exposure to extensive sun or heat, and alcoholic beverages within the first 24 hours following treatment, as these may cause temporary redness, swelling, and/or itching at the injection site
• JUVÉDERM® VOLUMA® XC was not studied in patients with significant loose skin of the chin, neck, or jaw
• The effect of JUVÉDERM® VOLUMA® XC injection into the chin on facial hair growth has not been studied
• Patients who experience skin injury near the site of JUVÉDERM® VOLUMA® XC injection may be at a higher risk for adverse events
• Tell your doctor if you have already been injected with dermal fillers in the same area as the one(s) you are about to be treated for. This information helps your doctor decide when and whether you should get treatment
