What Is Juvederm

Juvederm is a range of hyaluronic acid dermal fillers manufactured by Allergan Aesthetics, now part of AbbVie. It is CE-marked, FDA-approved, and available in over 70 countries. Juvederm is the most widely marketed filler brand globally, and many patients specifically request it by name.

Juvederm uses two cross-linking technologies: Hylacross (used in Ultra and Ultra Plus) and Vycross (used in Voluma, Volbella, Volift, and Volux). Vycross combines high and low molecular weight HA for improved longevity and a smoother gel consistency.

Juvederm is a quality product with a strong safety track record. However, Dr Azra selects fillers based on which technology offers the best result for each specific treatment area — not based on brand popularity or marketing. For a full cost breakdown by area, see our dermal filler pricing guide. Below, she explains how Juvederm compares to the brands she uses and why she has made specific choices for her practice.

Juvederm Product Range

For patients familiar with Juvederm, here is how the range maps to treatment areas — and which products Dr Azra uses instead, and why.

Why Dr Azra Uses a Multi-Brand Approach

Many clinics in Dubai are “Juvederm clinics” or “Restylane clinics” — meaning they stock one brand and use it for everything. This is often driven by commercial agreements with distributors rather than clinical decision-making.

Dr Azra takes a different approach. She stocks multiple brands — Belotero, Aliaxin, and Teosyal — because each brand has distinct technology advantages for specific treatment areas. This multi-brand strategy allows her to match the right product to the right area for the best possible result.

If you have been recommended Juvederm elsewhere or have had successful Juvederm treatment in the past, Dr Azra is happy to discuss your options during consultation. The goal is always the best result — not brand loyalty.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Dr Azra use Juvederm?

Dr Azra primarily uses Belotero, Aliaxin, and Teosyal because each offers specific technology advantages for different treatment areas. Juvederm is a quality product — if you have had successful Juvederm treatment previously, discuss your preferences during consultation.

Neither is universally “better.” Juvederm’s Vycross technology provides good longevity. Belotero’s CPM technology integrates more smoothly in tissue — an advantage in thin-skinned areas like the undereye and nose. The best choice depends on the area being treated.

6–24 months depending on the product. Voluma (cheeks): up to 24 months. Volbella (lips): 6–12 months. Ultra/Ultra Plus (folds): 9–12 months. Volux (jawline): 12–18 months. Full duration guide →

Often due to distribution agreements rather than clinical preference. Single-brand clinics may offer volume discounts but limit the practitioner’s ability to select the optimal product for each area. Dr Azra’s multi-brand approach prioritises clinical outcome over commercial simplicity.

Filler pricing depends on the brand, the treatment area, and the volume required. Dr Azra provides transparent pricing during consultation. For a full breakdown by area and product, see our dermal filler pricing guide.
