JUVÉDERM For Targeted Facial Volume Increase
JUVÉDERM is a popular line of hyaluronic acid dermal fillers that safely add volume beneath the skin. These smooth, gel-like injectables help soften wrinkles, contour features, and plump areas that have lost fullness due to aging.
Our skilled providers match the right product to your aesthetic goals so your results always look natural.
The main types of JUVÉDERM are:
- JUVÉDERM ULTRA XC: Adds noticeable volume to the lips, also used for moderate wrinkles, particularly smile lines.
- JUVÉDERM ULTRA PLUS XC: Thicker formula for deeper lines and folds. Helps restore volume in areas needing more support.
- JUVÉDERM VOLUMA XC: Adds structure and volume to the cheeks and midface, also FDA-approved for chin enhancement
- JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA XC: Softens fine lip lines and adds subtle lip volume. Often used under the eyes for tear troughs.
- JUVÉDERM VOLLURE XC: Treats moderate to severe facial folds, ideal for laugh lines around the mouth.
- JUVÉDERM VOLUX XC: Enhances jawline definition and provides structure and contour to the lower face.
Comparison: JUVÉDERM vs. Biostimulators
JUVÉDERM fillers offer immediate results by adding volume directly where you need it. In contrast, biostimulatory fillers like Bellafill® work gradually by stimulating collagen over time. JUVÉDERM is great if you want instant results that still feel soft and natural.
Biostimulators may appeal to those seeking a longer-term correction that develops gradually. Both options are safe and effective, and we help you choose the one that best suits your needs, treatment goals, and lifestyle.
Longevity of Dermal Fillers
Each JUVÉDERM product can last a different amount of time depending on the area treated and the formula used. Fillers tend to dissipate faster in the most mobile parts of the face, like your lips, and often last longer in the most stable areas, like your cheeks.
All formulas can last about a year. But some can last significantly longer. For example, Voluma XC can last up to two years in the cheeks.
Individual results vary depending on metabolism, activity level, and placement.
Maintaining Your Dermal Filler Results
To get the most out of your JUVÉDERM treatments, avoid smoking, drink plenty of water, wear sunscreen daily, and maintain a healthy lifestyle. We also recommend scheduling regular maintenance appointments to maintain consistent and long-lasting results.

Why choose Freya's for your fillers?
If you desire younger-looking skin without surgery, turn to aesthetic experts at Freya’s Lair Medical Spa in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Offering face-lifts using Dr. Mauricio de Maio’s MD Codes™ to lift and tighten your face and help you look years younger.
One of the most innovative techniques utilizing dermal fillers and neuromodulators that we use at Freya's Lair Medical Spa is called MD Codes™. It was developed by Brazilian plastic surgeon, Mauricio De Maio after more than twenty years of experience, and it provides a methodical, holistic approach to optimizing facial shape.
The MD code lift or 8 point lift is a non-surgical face lift technique using dermal filler to lift and structure the face in the most natural way. Dr. Mauricio de Maio, the famous Brazilian plastic surgeon, is the innovator of this technique.
This is a bespoke treatment which should be designed for each individual after proper assessment and measurements. MD code is not about just filling the lines and wrinkles. This smart technique can help us to achieve the patient’s wish in order to look less tired, less saggy, less sad, and less angry or just look lifted and fresh.
How much filler will be right for me?
The Vycross range of dermal fillers produced by Allergan used in the specific points. The amount of required product varies between each person and can be from 4-15 syringes.
Rather than only filling lines and folds with injectable fillers, MD Codes™ addresses the underlying frame of the face to produce 360-degree improvement. Facial volume can be deficient in different areas either due to facial aging or genetic development. The 75 MD Codes™ signify 75 potential facial injection points, taking into account the underlying bone, fat compartments, nerves, and vascular structures. Each of these sites corresponds to areas where fat or bone may be deficient.
An MD Codes™ consultation focuses on your goals so it starts with a careful assessment.

What should I expect during a face-lift?
Before a face-lift at Freya’s Lair Medical Spa, your specialist reviews your medical history, examines your face, and discusses your desired outcome. They use MD Codes to personalize nonsurgical face-lift procedures that are best for you.
Your provider numbs the treatment area so you can avoid discomfort. They inject various aesthetic substances into targeted areas of your face using the most appropriate MD Codes.
What happens after a face-lift?
While there’s no downtime after a face-lift, you may experience swelling, tenderness, or redness at the injection sites. You can ice the treatment area as needed to reduce swelling. The Freya’s Lair Medical Spa team may divide your treatment into several sessions to achieve the best results.

Advanced Russian Lip Filler Technique
At Freya's Lair, we offer several Advanced Filler techniques, and "Russian Lips" is one of our favorites! This specific technique will shape the lips into a subtle heart shape with more volume near the center, much like a Russian doll. It tends to lift the lip rather than add excessive volume so it’s ideal for those seeking a natural finish or someone who has never had a Lip Filler procedure before. You will also notice a ‘flatter’ appearance as height is the goal, rather than plumpness. (Although both can be achieved if that is what you desire) With this technique and our experience, you can rest assured that you won't have "duck lips" after this procedure! Unlike traditional lip filler, an injector employing the Russian Lip technique injects the product vertically starting at the base of the lip and drawing the product outward toward the lip border. Rather than starting from the lip border and working inward, the injector works the product from the inside out.
This technique demands an artist’s touch so it’s even more important to find a trustworthy injector with the proper training and experience. Due to the extra time and product involved in the Russian Lip technique, you can expect to pay a little bit more than you would for traditional lip fillers. The extra investment is worth it to get exactly what you want! The Russian Lip technique takes anywhere from 45-60 minutes, including prep time.
