Juvéderm is a family of gels, each designed for a different area of the face: cheek, jaw, lip and fold. For Juvéderm in Scottsdale, we begin with a thoughtful consultation and select the right formulation for each area, so your result looks refined and natural.
Juvéderm is a family of fillers. Made by Allergan, each hyaluronic acid gel is designed with its own cross-linking, firmness, lift capacity and flexibility. Those qualities guide where a gel belongs, and matching the gel to the area is one of the keys to a natural-looking result.
A firm, high-lift gel like Voluma is designed to sit on bone and gently project a cheek. A soft, low-swell gel like Volbella is made for the lips and the fine lines around them. Volux is the firmest of the family and the first hyaluronic acid filler FDA-approved specifically for jawline definition. Each gel performs beautifully in the area it was designed for, which is why we choose them with such care.
All of them contain lidocaine, all are reversible with hyaluronidase, and each lasts a different length of time, from around a year in the lips to up to two years in the cheek and jaw, because areas that move often metabolize filler faster than areas that stay still.
Juvéderm starts at $650 per syringe at KORA, and the price varies slightly by formulation. Voluma and Volux sit higher because they are designed to lift and last longer. At your consultation we map your face, explain which gel suits each area and how many syringes you'll need, and share your total before treatment begins. There is no minimum and no package.
Price varies by formulation. Voluma, Volux and Vollure sit above Ultra and Volbella.
Six formulations, each designed for a different area of the face. Here's a quick guide to how they differ; at your consultation, we'll recommend the right one for you.
The firmest lifting gel in the family, designed to sit deep on the cheekbone and restore midface projection. Supporting the cheek often softens the folds below it, without treating those folds directly.
The firmest formulation Juvéderm makes, and the first hyaluronic acid filler FDA-approved specifically for jawline definition. Designed to hold a crisp, defined jawline through everyday movement.
A balanced gel with the flexibility for an area that moves each time you speak, and the support to soften a deeper fold. Often paired with cheek support for the most natural result.
Soft, low-swell and low-volume. Designed for subtle lip definition, hydration and the fine vertical lines above the upper lip, with little change in size.
More volume than Volbella with a softer feel than the structural gels. A lovely choice when you'd like fuller lips as well as definition.
A firmer version of Ultra for deeper nasolabial folds and areas that benefit from a little more support.
A skin booster rather than a volumizer. Micro-droplets of hyaluronic acid are placed within the skin to improve cheek smoothness and hydration. FDA-approved in 2023.
Both are often treated with Voluma or Volux, depending on how much projection is needed. A well-balanced chin brings harmony to the whole profile, so we always assess it thoughtfully.
Before treatment begins, our nurse practitioners follow a careful assessment. It keeps your result soft, balanced and natural-looking.
Facial fat sits in distinct compartments that change at different rates. We look closely at which areas have lost volume, since the best place to treat is sometimes a little away from where you notice the change.
Deep structural support on bone calls for a firm, high-lift gel. Delicate work in areas that move calls for a soft, flexible one. This assessment guides which formulation we choose.
A jaw and a lip move constantly; a temple barely moves at all. Gels that hold their shape suit the jaw, and gels that flex suit the lip. Matching the two keeps your expressions soft and natural.
A blunt cannula gently moves vessels aside and is our choice in the temples, midface and tear trough. A needle offers precision on bone and at the lip border. We select each based on your anatomy.
Hyaluronic acid binds water, so the area swells a little and then settles. The gel integrates with the surrounding tissue over about two weeks, when your result is final and we see you for your review.
We look at your face in three dimensions and at rest, considering projection, proportion, symmetry and profile, then plan which formulation goes where. If another treatment would suit you better, we'll recommend it here.
Which gels, how many syringes, where, and your total. Treatment begins only once you're comfortable with the plan.
Topical anesthetic for 15 to 20 minutes. Every Juvéderm XC formulation contains lidocaine, so you'll feel more comfortable as treatment progresses.
Cannula or needle, depending on the area. You'll be seated upright and shown a mirror partway through, so you're part of every decision.
Ice, arnica if you bruise easily, and written aftercare. Your complimentary review is booked at two weeks, when swelling has resolved and your result is final.
Individual results vary. All photographs are of KORA patients, unretouched, in identical lighting and framing, shared with written consent.
Juvéderm results are visible immediately, with some swelling for several days. Swelling resolves within about a week and your final result settles at two weeks. Duration varies by formulation: up to 1 year for lips with Volbella or Ultra, and up to 2 years for cheeks and jawline with Voluma or Volux.
Planning for an event? Allow four weeks. Filler can bruise more than neuromodulators, and this leaves time for your review before the date.
KORA carries several premium filler families, including Juvéderm, Restylane and Revanesse, so your plan can draw on the full range. At your consultation, our nurse practitioners assess each area of your face, from cheek and jaw to lips and folds, and select the gel whose firmness, lift and flexibility best suit that area and your goals. Often that's Voluma or Volux. In other areas a Restylane or Revanesse gel may be the better fit, and we'll explain why. You'll leave knowing exactly which formulation is planned for each area and the reasoning behind it.
Skinvive is a different kind of Juvéderm treatment, and it's worth understanding before you book. Micro-droplets of hyaluronic acid are placed intradermally, into the skin itself rather than beneath it, to improve smoothness, hydration and the way your cheeks reflect light. It adds no structure or lift. FDA-approved in 2023, it lasts around six months and suits patients whose main goal is skin quality rather than facial volume. If you'd like fuller cheeks, Voluma is the better choice, and we'll help you decide at your consultation.
Every Juvéderm formulation is hyaluronic acid, which means every one can be dissolved with hyaluronidase within days. That reversibility is reassuring, and it's one reason hyaluronic acid fillers are so widely used. As with any medical procedure, filler does carry some risk. The most serious complication is vascular occlusion, when product enters or presses on a vessel. It's rare, and it's time-sensitive, so it's managed promptly with hyaluronidase by a clinician who recognizes it right away. We use blunt cannulas in the most delicate areas, aspirate where a needle is used, and keep hyaluronidase on site at every appointment.
Many patients notice their lips have softened by eight months while their cheeks still look full after eighteen. That's completely normal. Hyaluronic acid is broken down faster in tissue that moves often and has a richer blood supply, and a lip moves thousands of times a day while a cheekbone barely moves at all. Formulation plays a role too: Voluma and Volux are more heavily cross-linked so they hold up longer in the areas where longevity matters most. When you're weighing formulations, it helps to think about cost per year as well as cost per syringe.
Juvéderm and Restylane are both excellent hyaluronic acid families, and each includes gels suited to particular areas and depths. Sculptra works differently, building your own collagen gradually. Botox relaxes movement and adds no volume. The most helpful first question is whether your concern is volume, collagen or movement, and we'll answer it together at your consultation.

We carry Juvéderm, Restylane and Revanesse, so the gel for each area of your face is chosen thoughtfully for your anatomy and your goals.
Voluma on bone, Volbella in a lip, Volux along a jaw. Matching gel to area creates soft, natural-looking structure.
Katie is in a class of her own as an injector. I have been seeing her for over 5 years. She never 'sells' me on anything nor do I have to worry about looking over-done or about safety. She's an artist and a scientist! I am 38yo and look better than I did at 25yo because of her advising me on skincare and injections. I also wear less make-up than I ever did before. This has been an investment but one I'd NEVER regret; it's been life changing.

Juvéderm is a family of hyaluronic acid dermal fillers made by Allergan. There are six formulations, each designed with its own firmness and lift for a different area of the face.
It depends on the area you'd like to treat. Voluma for cheeks, Volux for jawline, Vollure for nasolabial folds, Volbella for lips and fine perioral lines, Ultra for lip volume, and Skinvive for skin quality rather than volume. We select the right one at your consultation, based on your anatomy.
It varies by formulation and by how much the area moves. Volbella and Ultra in the lips last up to about a year; Vollure in the folds up to eighteen months; Voluma in the cheeks and Volux in the jawline up to two years.
Juvéderm at KORA starts at $650 per syringe, and the price varies by formulation. Voluma and Volux sit above Ultra or Volbella because they are designed to lift and last up to two years. We confirm the formulation and your total at consultation.
Most first treatments use one to two. Structural jawline work with Volux can take two to four. We take a conservative approach on a first visit and add at your two-week review if needed.
Voluma is firm and heavily cross-linked, designed to sit deep on bone and project a cheek for up to two years. Volbella is soft, low-swell and low-volume, designed for subtle lip definition and fine lines. Each is chosen for a very different area.
Skinvive is a Juvéderm skin booster. Micro-droplets of hyaluronic acid are placed into the skin itself to improve smoothness and hydration in the cheeks. It adds no volume or lift, lasts around six months, and was FDA-approved in 2023.
Both are excellent families, and each contains gels that suit particular areas especially well. KORA carries Juvéderm, Restylane and Revanesse, and we select the best gel for each area of your face at your consultation.
Most patients find it very comfortable. We apply topical numbing for 15 to 20 minutes, and every Juvéderm XC formulation contains lidocaine, so comfort improves as treatment progresses. Lips are the most sensitive area.
Yes. Every formulation is hyaluronic acid and can be dissolved with hyaluronidase within days. We can adjust or dissolve previous filler, including work done by another provider, and rebuild once the tissue has settled.
Hyaluronic acid fillers have a long safety record and are reversible. The most serious risk is vascular occlusion, which is rare, time-sensitive and managed with hyaluronidase. We use blunt cannulas in the most delicate areas and keep hyaluronidase on site at every appointment.
We don't treat anyone who is pregnant, trying to conceive or breastfeeding, anyone with an active skin infection at the site, anyone with a known allergy to hyaluronic acid or lidocaine, or anyone with certain autoimmune conditions. We screen carefully for all of these.
Our goal is always a soft, natural result. A careful assessment matters most: filler looks its best when placed at the right depth and used to restore volume rather than to lift loose skin. We assess skin laxity separately, and if another treatment would suit you better, we'll recommend it.
Yes, often. Our clinic is on 69th Street just south of Shea, inside Scottsdale and a few hundred yards from the Paradise Valley boundary, usually a five to ten minute drive from most of PV.

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers).
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs. There may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
