Juvéderm® by Allergan is a hyaluronic acid (HA)-based filler approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat fine lines and wrinkles, lip shape, lip size, neck and jaw definition, and cheek contour. Other dermal fillers (like Restylane®) are popular cosmetic injectables in the United States due to their efficacy, safety, minimal side effects, and reasonable cost.

For candidates considering Juvéderm®, the total cost of the cosmetic procedure will be dependent on numerous factors outlined in the table below.

Factors to Consider in the Total Cost of a Juvéderm® Procedure

| Factor | Explanation | | ---------- | ---------- | | Type of procedure | Fine lines/wrinkles, facial features, etc. | | Provider | Training, experience, specialty (dermatologist vs plastic surgery provider) | | Consultation fees | May or may not count towards the final cost of the procedure | | Cost per syringe | Dependent on provider and location | | Location of procedure | Provider fees vary by region and are typically higher for more experienced providers | | Result maintenance | Timing and regularity of follow up treatments |

What affects the cost of Juvéderm®?

The cost of a Juvéderm® treatment will be impacted by numerous factors, including, the actual cost of the Juvéderm®, the time of the provider performing the injection, the body area being treated, your desired results, your location, and supplies used during the procedure.

There are several variations of Juvéderm® that are approved to treat different areas of the body. The overview below can help familiarize you with the various products.

• Juvéderm® XC and Juvéderm Vollure® XC are targeted to fine lines and wrinkles on the face; specifically, the smile lines or parentheses lines of the nose and mouth.
• Juvéderm Ultra® XC and Juvéderm Volbella® XC are used for lip augmentation for thin lips and reducing lipstick lines.
• Juvéderm Voluma® XC is used in cheek augmentation especially addressing concerns around the nasolabial folds.

It is important to remember that Juvéderm® is a temporary injectable. Desired results may come after one or several treatments, and all results can only be maintained with regular upkeep. For example, if your facial wrinkles procedure costs $400 and maintenance is needed every six months, your cost per year to maintain results will be $800.

Commonly, facilities and providers offer discounts, special offers, and/or rewards programs for regular Juvéderm® patients since most individuals choose to pursue maintenance sessions. Looking into these types of programs, financing options, and incentives in your area can help to mitigate costs.

The table below offers average single-session price ranges specific to areas typically treated with Juvéderm®.

Average Juvéderm® Cost by Treatment Area

| Body Area | Cost | | ---------- | ---------- | | Facial Wrinkles | $250 to $1,000 | | Lips | $500 to $2,000 | | Cheek | $1,000 to $4,000 | | Chin | $650 to $2,500 | | Under Eye | $800 to $4,500 |

What does the cost of Juvéderm® include?

Are you wondering what these cost ranges actually include? Juvéderm® is most easily understood by considering the number of syringes needed for the desired cosmetic result. In the United States, Juvéderm® syringes typically cost $450 to $650 each. The number of syringes needed at each injection site will vary by individual.

Besides the actual cost of the Juvéderm® injections, there are charges for the injector’s time, the supplies used during the injection session (gloves, needles, anesthetics like lidocaine), and, possibly, facility fees.

The costs being quoted are per session costs and maintenance Juvéderm® treatments are necessary for result upkeep. Are you overwhelmed? Don’t forget that, depending on your provider and the facility where you have your injection, there may be incentive programs and financing options to reduce costs for regular patients.

Does insurance cover the cost of Juvéderm®?

Insurance coverage is always confusing, and, when it comes to health insurance and aesthetic medicine, things get even murkier. Fear not, we can help.

Prevailing wisdom states cosmetic procedures are not covered by insurance. This is generally true, although certain cosmetic procedures providing medical benefits for documented conditions may be covered. Definitions from the American Medical Association (AMA) can help to further clarify this point:

• Cosmetic Surgery: Reshapes normal structures of the body in order to improve appearance and self-esteem.
• Reconstructive Surgery: Alterations to abnormal body structures caused by congenital defects, developmental abnormalities, trauma, infection, tumors, or disease.

Juvéderm® is not a surgery and, while it does have FDA approval for numerous cosmetic conditions, it does not have any medical indications (like, say, Botox® does). Suffice to say, your Juvéderm® procedure is not going to be covered by insurance.
