One of the first questions patients ask when considering dermal filler is understandably: How long will my results last?

With JUVÉDERM® VOLLURE® XC, the answer can be particularly appealing. This hyaluronic acid dermal filler is designed to soften moderate-to-severe facial wrinkles and folds, including the smile lines that develop around the nose and mouth. With optimal treatment, results in these areas can last up to 18 months.

At The J. Parry Clinics for Facial Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics in the Cleveland and Columbus, Ohio areas, injectable treatments are approached with the same emphasis on facial balance and natural-looking results that guides the practice’s surgical care.

But “up to 18 months” doesn’t mean every patient’s filler disappears on the same schedule. Understanding how VOLLURE works—and what influences its longevity—can give you a more realistic idea of what to expect from your results.

What Is JUVÉDERM VOLLURE XC?

JUVÉDERM VOLLURE XC is part of the JUVÉDERM collection of hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers. Hyaluronic acid is used in injectable fillers to temporarily add volume beneath the skin and smooth facial wrinkles and folds.

VOLLURE is FDA-approved for injection into facial tissue to correct moderate-to-severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds, in adults over age 21.  These folds—sometimes called smile or laugh lines—extend from the sides of the nose toward the corners of the mouth and can become more prominent as facial volume and tissue support change with age.

Rather than trying to eliminate every natural facial line, filler can be used strategically to soften deeper folds while maintaining normal facial movement and expression.

How Long Does JUVÉDERM VOLLURE Last?

JUVÉDERM VOLLURE XC can provide results lasting up to 18 months when used to treat smile lines with optimal treatment, making it one of the longer-lasting options within the JUVÉDERM collection.

Individual results vary, however, and 18 months should not be viewed as a guaranteed treatment timeline. Hyaluronic acid filler is gradually broken down by the body, and some patients may notice their results beginning to diminish sooner than others.

How long VOLLURE lasts can be influenced by several factors, including:

  • Individual metabolism
  • Amount of filler used
  • Treatment area
  • Facial anatomy
  • Degree of correction
  • Facial movement and expression
  • Individual treatment plan

Rather than expecting your filler to last for an exact number of months, it can be more helpful to think of the results as gradually diminishing over time. Your provider at The J. Parry Clinics can monitor how your results evolve and recommend maintenance treatment based on your anatomy, goals, and response to VOLLURE.

When Will I See My VOLLURE Results?

One advantage of hyaluronic acid filler is that improvement can generally be seen immediately after treatment. However, what you see when you first leave your appointment isn’t necessarily your final result.

Temporary swelling, redness, tenderness, bruising, firmness, or small bumps can occur around the injection sites. In the VOLLURE clinical trial, common injection-site reactions were generally mild or moderate and lasted 14 days or less.

As these temporary effects resolve and the filler settles, your results should become easier to evaluate. This is why it’s worth giving filler a little time before deciding exactly what you think of the outcome.

What Happens When JUVÉDERM VOLLURE Wears Off?

VOLLURE is temporary, so your results will gradually diminish as the hyaluronic acid filler is broken down over time. You shouldn’t expect to wake up one morning at the 18-month mark and suddenly find your smile lines have returned.

Instead, the correction gradually decreases. If you want to maintain your results, your provider can recommend when it makes sense to consider another treatment based on how your filler is changing and whether your aesthetic goals remain the same.

You also don’t necessarily need to wait until the filler has completely disappeared before discussing maintenance.

Is JUVÉDERM VOLLURE Right for You?

VOLLURE may be worth considering if moderate-to-severe facial wrinkles or folds around the nose and mouth are bothering you and you want a temporary, non-surgical treatment option.

However, not every facial line or age-related change is best treated with the same filler—or with filler at all.

A personalized consultation allows your provider to evaluate your facial anatomy, discuss what you’d like to improve, and determine whether VOLLURE or another injectable treatment is most appropriate.

One of VOLLURE’s biggest advantages is its potential to provide subtle, long-lasting correction without surgery. But longevity is only one part of a successful filler treatment.
