FAQ
Q: Why do Juvéderm “U” and “V” series use different cross-linking technologies? Which one is better?
A: For example, if we think of hyaluronic acid as soy milk, it is in liquid form and cannot provide sculpting effects when injected into the body. To achieve sculpting, soy milk needs to be transformed into tofu—this process is called cross-linking. Depending on the amount of cross-linking agents used, different products are formed.
The “U” series uses a lower amount of cross-linking agents, giving it a durability of 12–18 months. The “V” series contains a higher amount of cross-linking agents, which makes it last longer.
There is no definitive answer as to which is better. Products with varying amounts of cross-linking agents have different sculpting capabilities, uses, and suitable areas, as well as differing costs. Generally, the longer-lasting variants are priced higher. It is best to choose based on your own conditions and needs.

Juvéderm
Ai Beauty Clinic
Juvéderm is a hyaluronic acid filler, a natural component of the skin’s connective tissue, and one of the most commonly used products for wrinkle correction. It is rigorously certified by regulatory bodies, including CE in Europe, FDA in the U.S., and CFDA in China. It is the first hyaluronic acid filler approved by the U.S. FDA to have effects lasting up to 18 months.
Juvéderm is produced in France and distributed by Allergan, a U.S.-based company. Its research, development, and manufacturing adhere to the highest international standards, ensuring its safety and effectiveness.
Juvéderm includes the “U” series (Ultra, Ultra Plus) and “V” series (Voluma, Volbella, Vollure). Each product has unique characteristics tailored to meet different treatment needs for specific areas.
According to clinical data, the effects of Juvéderm generally last 12 to 18 months, making it one of the longest-lasting fillers on the market. The actual duration varies depending on individual factors, such as the injection site, metabolism rate, and post-treatment care.
Juvéderm is a versatile injectable gel that can be applied to multiple facial areas to address various aesthetic concerns. Common treatment areas include:
- Forehead: Fills depressions in the forehead for a smoother and fuller contour.
- Brow Bone: Enhances the shape and prominence of the brow area for a youthful and stylish look.
- Temples: Fills hollows in the temples to add definition and create a balanced facial contour.
- Nasolabial Folds: Reduces the depth of nasolabial folds for a more youthful appearance.
- Lips: Enhances fullness, definition, and overall volume of the lips for a more attractive and youthful look.
Juvéderm prices vary based on location, treatment area, dosage, and the qualifications of the doctor. In the UK, each syringe typically costs between £300 and £600. Prices depend on the personalized treatment plan. Choosing a certified clinic like Ai Beauty Clinic ensures higher safety and professionalism.
As long as the filler is not over-injected, stiffness is unlikely to occur. At Ai Beauty Clinic, we have licensed and experienced injectors who specialize in serving Asian clients. They are highly skilled in precise dosage control, ensuring natural-looking results.
Juvéderm injections should always be administered by professional doctors to ensure safety and effectiveness. Doctors will create a customized injection plan based on your needs and facial features.
During the procedure, you may feel mild discomfort, but it is generally tolerable. After the treatment, slight swelling or bruising may occur, which typically subsides within a few days. Following your doctor’s care instructions will help minimize discomfort and accelerate recovery.
Avoid massaging the injection area or exposure to intense sunlight for one week to prevent adverse reactions.
The results of Juvéderm are usually immediate, but the final effects take time to fully manifest as the hyaluronic acid integrates with the skin tissue, providing sustained volume and firmness.
The duration of the results depends on individual factors such as metabolism and the treatment area, typically lasting 6 months to 1 year. To maintain the effects, regular injections are recommended. You can discuss with your doctor to create a suitable injection plan for long-lasting youthful beauty.
