About the JUVÉDERM Family of Products
Developed by the same company that created BOTOX® Cosmetic, JUVÉDERM products offer a smooth consistency and a natural look and feel when injected. Not only are they FDA-approved, they are approved for all skin types and colors.
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is the active ingredient in each of the products in the JUVÉDERM family. This is a naturally occurring substance that binds water to cells, bringing volume and hydration to the skin. This softens lines and shadows, restoring a more youthful, supple look to areas like the lips, cheeks, and lower face. JUVÉDERM offers several formulas—each pre-mixed with lidocaine for your comfort—designed to treat different concerns.
JUVÉDERM Injectable Gel
JUVÉDERM is a gel-like dermal filler used to diminish wrinkles by filling in underneath the skin, forming a strong support structure for facial skin just like you had when you were younger. This product is similar in composition to Restylane®.
JUVÉDERM is often used to minimize nasolabial folds, or the wrinkles commonly referred to as “parentheses” around the mouth. It can also be used to sculpt facial features like the cheeks and chin, reduce the appearance of scars, or to refine the nose during a non surgical nose job.
JUVÉDERM VOLUX XC
FDA-approved for defining the jawline, VOLUX XC is the first and only HA filler of its kind. With early training and access, our team is now offering jawline sculpting with VOLUX XC. This filler’s unique density provides a high degree of lift and results that stay put without flattening or spreading—for a sharp, defined jawline instantly. This alternative to jawline implants involves no downtime, is easily reversible, and provides lasting results for about a year. VOLUX XC contains lidocaine for extra comfort during injection (signified by the “XC” in the name).
JUVÉDERM VOLUMA XC
VOLUMA XC is an injectable gel filler that can restore volume to cheeks that look flat or sunken. As we age, facial skin, fat, and bones deteriorate, causing the cheeks and under-eye area to wither. VOLUMA puts back the volume that time takes away, and creates a firm support structure for your skin, producing a lifted look that can take years off your face.
JUVÉDERM VOLUMA XC uses a thicker formula of hyaluronic acid, which makes it more durable and appropriate for larger areas and deeper injection, such as the cheeks and the chin.
Our Injectors use VOLUMA XC on the cheekbones, as well as the hollows and apples of the cheeks, providing a look of youthful plumpness. They also use the injectable filler for chin augmentation, because its formulation holds up well in this area, refining a person’s profile without the need for surgical enhancement.
Additionally, VOLUMA XC is well suited for being combined with other dermal fillers and injections of BOTOX Cosmetic. Volume restoration is a key component of facial rejuvenation, so our Injectors are pleased to have VOLUMA XC’s lasting benefits as part of their toolkit.
JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA XC
JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA XC is a crystal-clear gel formulated for use in the lips and the surrounding area. Our Injectors use this product for lip augmentation, to enhance symmetry, and to correct perioral lines, often called “lipstick lines” or “smoker’s lines.” The small HA particles and smooth formulation of this product make it the ideal lip filler soft and natural results.
The XC in these JUVÉDERM products stands for “extra comfort” due to the local anesthetic they contain. The addition of lidocaine, along with our Injectors’ use of a microcannula, makes injections—even in the delicate lip area—much more comfortable for patients.
How Long Do JUVÉDERM Product Results Last?
Depending on the treatment area, JUVÉDERM and VOLBELLA produce results that can last from 6 to 12 months.
When used to restore volume to the cheeks or chin, VOLUMA produces results that can last from 12 to 24 months. When used for a non surgical chin augmentation, results may last 15 to 24 months.
Are There Any Side Effects?
One of the advantages of using dermal fillers is that they are minimally invasive. The most common effects patients experience are minor concerns around the injection sites, including swelling, irritation, redness, and light bruising, which all usually resolve within 1 to 2 days.
Our Injectors also use blunt-tipped microcannulas, which produce less bleeding and bruising afterward and make the treatment more comfortable. Most patients can return to their regular activities immediately. Read more about what to expect from your treatment.

What Are the Differences Between Dermal Fillers and BOTOX® Cosmetic?
Our skin loses volume as we age. Dermal fillers are designed to replace the foundation under your skin and support sunken areas to smooth out skin, making it look young again.
BOTOX Cosmetic works on wrinkles called “dynamic wrinkles.” These lines and folds—most often on the forehead, between the brows, and around the eyes—are caused by repeated facial action. BOTOX Cosmetic injections relax the muscles causing these wrinkles, erasing the look of frown lines, worry lines, and crow’s feet.
The MFI Advantage
MFI focuses exclusively on injectables, and has set the bar in the art and science of fillers for more than 15 years. Dr. Mabrie, trained as a facial plastic surgeon, has dedicated thousands of hours to carefully selecting and training our talented Injectors in the most innovative, effective, and safe techniques for injectables.

JUVÉDERM FAQs
Are dermal fillers safe?
Yes! FDA-approved dermal fillers have been safely in use for more than 20 years, with millions of treatments performed in the U.S. alone. While fillers are safe, treating some facial areas can be riskier than others. Ultimately, your safety and results are determined by the skill, knowledge, and experience of your Injector. Learn more about the safety of dermal fillers in this blog post.
What’s a liquid facelift?
A liquid facelift or non surgical facelift is a comprehensive alternative to surgery that uses dermal fillers for WOW-worthy facial rejuvenation results. At MFI, a liquid facelift is used to address under-eye bags, dark circles, nasolabial folds, a receding chin, and jowling. We often add BOTOX Cosmetic to soften lines on the forehead.
Do dermal fillers ruin your face?
No! In fact, a look at our extensive photo gallery will prove that fillers are an excellent way to rejuvenate and contour your face without surgery. All our FDA-approved fillers are temporary, and will ultimately be broken down and eliminated harmlessly by the body over a period of 6 months to 2 years.
What’s the best dermal filler?
There are so many fillers and formulations, there’s no single “best” filler. In our many years of experience using fillers for rejuvenation and contouring, we’ve developed our favorites for different areas and different purposes. To help you understand these versatile products, we’ve put together the ultimate guide. We will discuss the best filler or fillers for your needs at your consultation.
Which filler is best for tear troughs?
At Mabrie Facial Institute, our filler of choice for the tear troughs is Restylane, but that’s only part of the story. Tear trough filler relies on support in the cheeks and midface, which is often created with JUVÉDERM VOLUMA or RADIESSE.
