Restore Volume and Soften Signs of Aging with JUVÉDERM
Thin lips, hollow cheeks, and deepening folds often share one root cause: natural volume loss. JUVÉDERM restores that volume with hyaluronic acid, a substance your skin already makes.
Our providers at Houston Wellness & Aesthetics use the full JUVÉDERM collection. We match the right formula to your goals, whether that means fuller lips, sculpted cheeks, or softened folds.
What Is JUVÉDERM?
JUVÉDERM is a family of FDA-approved hyaluronic acid dermal fillers. Each formula targets a specific area of the face. The gel binds water and adds volume just beneath the skin. A trained provider injects it with a fine needle or a blunt cannula. Results appear right away, and most formulas last one to two years. The FDA-approved dermal fillers page lists each formula and its cleared use. Because hyaluronic acid is biocompatible, the risk of an allergic reaction stays low.
JUVÉDERM can help restore:
Patients choose JUVÉDERM to refresh several areas of the face, often in a single visit.
- Lip volume
- Cheek fullness
- Jawline definition
- Chin projection
- Nasolabial folds
- Under-eye hollows
- Marionette lines
- Natural-looking balance
How JUVÉDERM Works
JUVÉDERM fillers use hyaluronic acid, a sugar molecule your skin produces on its own. It draws in water and adds soft volume beneath the surface. A trained provider places the gel into targeted areas with a fine needle or a blunt cannula. The FDA first approved JUVÉDERM in 2006, and the collection has grown to cover many facial areas since. Because the gel is biocompatible, your body accepts it well and breaks it down slowly over time.
Choosing the Right JUVÉDERM Formula
Not every formula works the same way. Your provider matches the gel to your anatomy and your goals.
Voluma XC lifts the cheeks and chin
This is the thickest gel in the collection. It restores deeper volume and can last up to two years.
Volux XC defines the jawline
Volux is the firmest formula. It adds structure and holds a sharper, more defined profile.
Vollure XC softens nasolabial folds
Vollure flexes with your expressions. It smooths the lines from the nose to the mouth for up to eighteen months.
Volbella XC refines lips and under-eyes
Volbella is the thinnest, softest gel. It adds subtle volume to delicate areas without an overfilled look.
JUVÉDERM Treatment Areas We Offer
Each area of the face calls for a specific gel. Here is how we match JUVÉDERM formulas to the areas we treat at Houston Wellness & Aesthetics.

We use JUVÉDERM Voluma XC to restore lift and youthful contour to flattened cheeks and hollow temples.
Chin
Voluma XC adds projection and balance to the chin. It refines your profile with no surgery and little downtime.
Jawline
JUVÉDERM Volux XC is the firmest gel in the line. We use it to sharpen a soft or undefined jawline.
Lips
For fuller, natural lips we use JUVÉDERM Volbella XC for subtle shaping or Ultra XC for added volume.
Smile lines (nasolabial folds)
We soften the creases from nose to mouth with JUVÉDERM Vollure XC or Ultra Plus XC. Both flex with your expressions.
Under-eyes
JUVÉDERM Volbella XC adds a thin, smooth layer under the eyes. It softens a tired, hollow look.

What to Expect
Your JUVÉDERM appointment usually takes 30 to 60 minutes. The length depends on how many areas you treat. Your provider starts by reviewing your goals and health history.
Most JUVÉDERM formulas already contain lidocaine, a numbing agent, so injections are well tolerated. Your provider injects the gel with a fine needle or blunt cannula. They gently massage each area to shape the result.
You will see results right away. Mild swelling, redness, or bruising is common for a few days. Most patients return to normal activities the same day. We suggest avoiding intense exercise for 24 hours.
