Juvederm
A hyaluronic acid filler. The syringe depends on the area. Lips, cheeks, chin, jaw, folds. Shape and volume in the lips.
£140 — 0.55ml
£250 — 1ml
Two gels. The name is chosen in the room. Not Volite. That is skin, not this list.
Lidocaine is in the syringe, and we still numb the area first.
0.55ml · £140 · Hylacross

Questions
How much is Juvederm?
0.55ml is £140. Ultra 2, and Ultra Smile. Two syringes of Ultra Smile are 1.1ml, £250. The other syringes are 1ml, £250. Ultra 3, Ultra 4, Volbella, Volift, Voluma and Volux.
What is the difference between the two gels?
Ultra is Hylacross. It draws water, so it looks full on the day and swells more. Volbella, Volift, Voluma and Volux are Vycross. A tighter gel. Less of that first puff. Firmness still depends on the name.
Why does Ultra swell more?
It binds more water. The first few days are not the result. Lips swell more than the cheeks.
Is Smile a different product?
No. The name is Ultra Smile. Smile is the same product, with Ultra left off. One syringe, 0.55ml, is £140. Two syringes are £250. Volbella is a different gel. 1ml, £250.
What is the difference between Ultra 2 and Ultra 3?
Ultra 2 is the softer one, 0.55ml, £140. Ultra 3 has more body, 1ml, £250. They are not the same syringe.
What are Voluma, Volux, Volbella and Volift?
Volbella is lips. Volift is folds. Voluma is cheeks. Volux is the firmest, for chin and jaw. All 1ml. All £250.
How long does it last?
The maker says about 9 to 24 months, by product and place. Lips are the shorter end. Cheeks are the longer end. Not a guarantee.
Is Volite on this page?
No. Volite is skin, not a shaping filler.
What is the downtime?
Swelling and a bruise are normal. Ultra shows more of it. The shape is judged after it settles, not on the day.
Can it be dissolved?
Yes, if it is hyaluronic acid and it needs to come out. Dissolve is £150.
