JUVÉDERM® is designed to subtly restore what time changes, replacing lost volume, softening lines, and refining facial contours in a way that feels natural to you. At Lycia Thornburg, MD Dermatology, each treatment is carefully planned based on your unique facial structure and aesthetic goals, whether you’re looking to enhance lip fullness, smooth deeper folds, or address areas of volume loss. With a focus on balance and precision, Dr. Lycia Thornburg and her team create results that feel refreshed, harmonious, and true to your features.
Restore Volume and Refine Your
Natural Contours
JUVÉDERM is a collection of hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers formulated to restore volume, smooth lines, and refine facial contours with precision. Hyaluronic acid is a substance your body naturally produces to keep skin hydrated, plump, and resilient. As it diminishes over time, the skin can appear thinner and less supported. JUVÉDERM helps replenish this loss, attracting water and adding structure beneath the skin. The result is not a different face, but a more supported version of your natural features: subtle and refreshed.
JUVÉDERM Treats:
- Thinning lips and loss of natural lip definition
- Vertical lip lines and perioral wrinkles
- Nasolabial folds (smile lines around the mouth)
- Marionette lines that create a downturned appearance
- Hollowing under the eyes (tear troughs)
- Volume loss in the cheeks and midface
- Flattening or loss of contour along the jawline
- Chin retrusion or lack of projection
- Temple hollowing that creates facial imbalance
- Fine lines and wrinkles associated with aging
Types of JUVÉDERM Fillers Available
JUVÉDERM ULTRA XC
A versatile filler formulated for lip enhancement and smoothing moderate lines, JUVÉDERM ULTRA XC adds soft, noticeable volume while maintaining a natural feel. It’s ideal when you want fuller lips or gentle correction without sacrificing flexibility or expression.
JUVÉDERM ULTRA PLUS XC
Formulated for deeper folds and more advanced volume loss, JUVÉDERM ULTRA PLUS XC provides stronger structural support than ULTRA XC. It’s often used to soften pronounced lines while still allowing natural movement, making it reliable for visible correction.
JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA® XC
JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA XC is a softer, smoother filler ideal for delicate areas such as the lips and under-eye area. It enhances shape, smooths fine lines, and restores hydration, offering understated results that feel balanced and naturally integrated.
JUVÉDERM VOLLURE® XC
Formulated to treat moderate-to-severe facial folds, JUVÉDERM VOLLURE XC strikes a balance between flexibility and durability. It moves naturally with your expressions while maintaining correction, making it well-suited for smile lines that require softness.
JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC
A structural filler built for lift and contour, JUVÉDERM VOLUMA XC restores facial volume in the cheeks, chin, and temples. It provides deeper support beneath the skin, helping to reposition facial contours and create a more lifted, youthful framework that still looks like you.
JUVÉDERM VOLUX® XC
The most robust option in the collection, JUVÉDERM VOLUX XC is meant for jawline definition and lower-face sculpting. It delivers strong, precise structure, helping create sharper contours and improved balance, particularly when the jawline has softened.

Your JUVÉDERM Treatment at Thornburg MD Dermatology
Your experience begins with a thoughtful consultation, during which our providers take the time to understand not just what you see in the mirror, but how you want to feel. We evaluate facial structure, skin quality, and patterns of volume loss, then design a treatment plan that enhances your natural features. Every recommendation is grounded in anatomy, safety, and long-term balance, ensuring your results evolve with you rather than chasing trends or quick fixes.
Treatment
Your treatment is performed with intention. After cleansing the skin, our providers may apply a topical numbing agent for comfort. Using fine needles or cannulas, JUVÉDERM is strategically placed at specific depths to restore volume, smooth lines, or refine contours. Each injection is guided by an understanding of facial anatomy. The process is gradual and measured, often with small adjustments along the way, ensuring the results feel balanced rather than overdone.
Recovery
Recovery is typically minimal, allowing you to return to most daily activities the same day. You may experience temporary swelling, redness, tenderness, or mild bruising at the injection sites. Our providers will guide you on aftercare, including avoiding strenuous workouts, excessive sun and heat, and pressure on treated areas for a short period. Cold compresses and gentle care help support healing, while follow-ups ensure everything settles exactly as intended.
Results
The results are visible immediately, with continued refinement as any swelling subsides over the following days. Depending on the product used and the treatment area, results can last 9 to 18 months, or even more in some cases. Over time, the filler is naturally metabolized by your body. Many patients choose periodic maintenance to preserve balance and support long-term results, allowing their appearance to evolve gradually while continuing to look natural.
