Loss of a clear oval face, sagging (ptosis) of soft tissues, formation of folds and creases in the skin are common age-related problems. Fortunately, modern cosmetology has dozens of methods that can cope with these defects. The most effective technique is injection of fillers into problem areas, and one of the most progressive preparations based on hyaluronic acid is Juvederm Volift.
This is a new generation filler, which is designed to replenish the volume of the soft tissues of the face. The procedure for administering the drug is more comfortable compared to other fillers of a similar composition, and the result is long-lasting.
Indications and expected effect
The main indication is a lack of volume in the soft tissues of the face. The filler allows you to eliminate sagging in the area of the cheekbones, cheeks, chin, and can also be used for:
- correction of nasolabial folds;
- changes in the shape and volume of the lips.
Juvederm Volift filler not only eliminates folds and wrinkles, filling voids, but also significantly improves the overall condition of the skin. It becomes smoother, denser, moisturized, smooth texture and healthy color are restored. The manufacturer offers several varieties of this filler, including Juvederm Volift (higher viscosity) and Juvederm Volift Retouch (the composition and action is the same as the standard Juvederm Volift, but is available in smaller syringes).
Ideal non-surgical lifting
Hyaluronic acid preparations from the American company Allergan are rightfully considered one of the best. The company has long established itself as a reliable manufacturer of safe and effective drugs for rejuvenation. It was here that Botox was invented, which has become a classic of anti-aging procedures.
The “golden fund” of cosmetology also includes the Juviderm line of hyaluronic fillers. With their help, you can easily, safely and painlessly perform a non-surgical face lift.
All Juvederm fillers perfectly moisturize the skin, but some are more suitable for lips, others for correcting facial contours, and others for cheekbones.
Juviderm Volift can be called a universal drug. It is suitable for those who want to restore the facial contour, outline the cheekbones, cheeks, chin, and lip shape, making them more sensual.
Juvederm Volift contains hyaluronic acid with a low molecular weight and smooth structure, it makes up 90% of the total volume of the drug, as well as lidocaine and phosphate buffer.

The low weight of the acid molecule allows it to be quickly and evenly distributed throughout the deep layers of the skin. Fillers use hyaluronic acid of non-animal origin. It almost never causes allergic reactions.
Progress of the procedure and recovery after it
Before administering the drug, the cosmetologist treats the patient's skin with an antiseptic. Then, using special ultra-thin needles, the filler is injected under the skin in the problem area. After introducing the composition, the specialist performs a light massage, the task of which is to evenly distribute the gel under the skin.
In total, all manipulations take from 20 minutes to an hour - it all depends on the amount of work.
After the procedure is completed, the cosmetologist will give recommendations for home care. There are few restrictions: in the first days after injection of fillers, you cannot visit the sauna and solarium, you cannot do a deep facial massage or use aggressive skin products (for example, scrubbing or peeling). There are usually no side effects after the procedure, with the exception of slight swelling and bruising at the puncture sites.
Features of Juvederm Volift
Juvederm Volift injections affect the condition of the skin not only by filling the subcutaneous layers. Low molecular weight hyaluronic acid, penetrating into the deep layers of the skin, has another effect. It simulates your own skin processes, the synthesis of elastin and collagen, rejuvenating the face from the inside. Thus, the Juvederm Wolfit filler not only corrects the oval of the face, but also improves its color, moisturizes the skin, and makes it more youthful.
Due to the presence of lidocaine in the composition, the filler can be administered without additional anesthesia. In this case, the anesthetic effect occurs much faster than from other painkillers.
The phosphate buffer stabilizes hyaluronic acid and prevents it from breaking down too quickly. However, Juvederm Volift is a biodegradable gel. Over time, it breaks down and is eliminated from the body naturally.
The effectiveness of Juvederm Volift
Juvederm Volift is highly effective for correcting the shape of the face in areas where there is a lack of soft tissue. It has proven itself well in procedures for correcting the shape and giving the missing volume to the lips. Juvederm Volift successfully eliminates wrinkles in the nasolabial area and chin area.
The plastic structure of Juvederm Volift gel makes it indispensable for working with thin faces. Despite the deficiency of subcutaneous fat, the gel is easily distributed under the skin without creating compactions and the face after correction looks very natural.
Dense, flexible filler ensures long-lasting effect up to 18 months.

Features of Juvederm® fillers –
As we said above, Juvederm® fillers are produced using stabilized hyaluronic acid (HA), obtained by bacterial fermentation. The stabilization of HA should be understood as its chemical modification, as a result of which individual chains of its molecules are “cross-linked” with each other using chemical bonds (bridges). The properties of different fillers depend most on the number and frequency of such bonds between the chains of HA molecules, and the more of them there are, the denser the filler will be and the longer the duration of its action.
The life cycle duration of conventional, i.e. unstabilized HA molecules – is only 24 to 48 hours. And so that the filler does not collapse almost immediately after injection, the chains of HA molecules are subjected to such “cross-linking”. Fillers that have fewer bonds between HA chains will have a low density, and their duration of action will be about 5-6 months. These include Juvederm Ultra Smile and Juvederm Ultra 2. Such soft fillers are used to correct superficial shallow wrinkles, as well as increase lip volume.
The more connections there are, the greater the density of the filler and the lower its elasticity. For example, Juvederm Ultra 3 already has a medium density, and the indication for its use is wrinkles and folds of medium depth. The duration of its effect will be from 6 to 9 months. And an even denser filler, Juvederm Ultra 4, is designed to correct the deepest wrinkles, and its effect will last up to 12 months (24stoma.ru).
Wrinkle correction and lip augmentation with Juvederm® –
Juvederm Ultra 2,3,4 (Uvederm Ultra 2, 3, 4)
Ultra line - drugs with an analgesic effect, which include lidocaine. Thanks to them, injection cosmetic procedures are as easy, comfortable and painless as possible. The line of fillers with lidocaine includes three types of the drug. Each of them has a special action and is designed to solve specific problems:
- 2 - has a light texture and is great for eliminating fine wrinkles in the outer corners of the eyes, in the lips and forehead. Injected into the upper layers of the skin.
- 3 - filler with a denser consistency. Smoothes out fine and medium wrinkles well. Gives lips additional volume, makes their shape clearer and more expressive.
- 4 - compensates for the lack of volume, so it is ideal for cheekbone contouring. Effectively eliminates deep wrinkles. It has greater density and viscosity than Ultra 2 and 3, and is designed specifically for injection into the deep layers of the skin. It can also be used to correct the chin without surgery.
