How Much Does Juvéderm Cost?

The average cost of Juvéderm is $869, according to 137 patient reviews. The cost of 1 syringe of Juvéderm filler runs between $500 and $975.

Prices for this treatment can range as high as $2,400, especially if you're combining Juvéderm with another treatment like Botox. 

Your total cost will depend largely on:

• how many syringes you need to achieve your desired result
• the type of filler you get the type of filler (Juvéderm Ultra XC, for example)
• your injector’s credentials, their experience level, and even the size of their social media following (which can drive more demand for their services)
• their practice location
• whether you get any other injectables or procedures at the same time

Juvéderm fillers are made with hyaluronic acid (HA) gel. They’re very similar to Restylane fillers, with essentially the same average cost.

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the average cost of hyaluronic acid dermal fillers is $794, and the average cost of lip augmentation with dermal fillers is $743.

Filler injections can instantly smooth fine lines and facial wrinkles (like marionette lines, lip lines, and nasolabial folds), plump lips, and restore hollows in the under eyes and temples. When they’re not overdone, they can reverse volume loss and improve facial contours in a way that looks natural and creates a more youthful appearance.

Is Juvéderm worth the money?

A solid majority of patient reviews say the results were worth the expense: Juvéderm has a 90% Worth It Rating on RealSelf.

Those who say Juvéderm is “Worth It” cite a noticeable enhancement in the treatment area, with natural-looking nonsurgical results. Several note subtle lip augmentation and a softening of creases, while others are happy with an improved profile from jawline or chin fillers. 

Among those who rated it “Not Worth It,” many cited unsightly bumps or asymmetry from poorly placed injections. Others felt that their lips were over-filled. 

As you’re weighing whether it will be worth the investment for you, keep in mind that results last anywhere from 6 months to several years, depending on:

• the specific formula your provider uses
• how quickly your body metabolizes it
• where it's placed (it tends to metabolize more quickly in areas with a lot of movement but can last for years under the eyes)

If you plan to keep up your results, you’ll need to budget for touch-up treatments, which can add up over time. In some cases, a surgical solution may actually be cheaper in the long run.

For example, facial fat transfer—which uses your own body fat to add or restore volume to your face—offers permanent results. This surgical procedure is much more expensive than Juvéderm injections, but it may be more cost-effective in the long run than years of temporary filler treatments.

Ultimately, only you and your provider can determine which cosmetic procedures you’re a good candidate for, so be sure to discuss your aesthetic goals and budget during a consultation.

Why the cost of Juvéderm treatment varies

These are the biggest factors that affect the cost of Juvéderm injections.

1. How much Juvéderm you need

Your final bill will depend largely on how many syringes of Juvéderm you need for your desired results, and how much your provider charges per syringe.

How far one syringe will go all depends on the depth of the treatment area and the effect you want. As Chicago-based, board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Anil Shah explains, “In some patients, one-quarter of a syringe will offer adequate treatment of a smile line, while in other patients, two full syringes may not be enough.” 

With lips, your individual anatomy will also influence how much product you need. If you have thin lips, you may pay less than someone who has naturally fuller lips, with more room to fill.

Most injectors take a conservative approach with lip fillers, especially if it’s your first time. It’s always possible to add more volume or fine-tune the result in a follow-up appointment.

During an initial consultation, your injector should estimate the number of syringes you’ll need. This is the ideal time to ask about the price of one syringe and get an estimate for your total cost. Also ask if they discount each additional syringe (as many do).

RealSelf Tip: Filler is expensive not only for you, but also for providers to purchase from manufacturers like Allergan. They may get a slight discount for buying in bulk or stocking one brand exclusively, but typically, doctors pay $400 or more per syringe—and Juvéderm is known to be among the priciest. 

When determining how much to charge patients per syringe, providers factor in not only their wholesale cost, but their qualifications, time, and overhead, while still aiming to offer competitive pricing. 

If you see someone charging $500 per syringe for Juvéderm Voluma, be suspicious—it may not be the real deal.

2. The type of Juvéderm filler you get 

“Juvéderm has several products, which vary in cost,” explains Dr. Camille Cash, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Houston, Texas. Their full collection includes Juvederm Ultra, Ultra Plus, Volbella, Vollure, Voluma, and Volux. They’re also available in “XC” versions (i.e. Volbella XC, Vollure XC), which means they contain the anesthetic lidocaine to make your treatment more comfortable.

Each formula is intended and FDA approved to enhance different areas of the face. For example, Juvéderm Voluma XC and Volux, the thickest formulas in the collection, are used to mimic bone: they can augment cheekbones, create a more chiseled or pronounced chin, or sculpt a stronger jawline. 

Juvéderm fillers with Vycross technology—a strong crosslinking that helps them last longer—tend to cost more than classic Juvéderm gels. Voluma, Vollure, Volbella, and Volux all fall under the Vycross umbrella. Juvéderm SkinVive, which is more of an injectable hydrator than volumizer, is also a Vycross product.

When you discuss your treatment plan and cost per syringe, ask which Juvéderm products your injector plans to use and how their selection impacts your cost per syringe. 

3. The credentials and experience level of your injector 

Juvéderm injections from a registered nurse injector or physician assistant typically cost less than those done by a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon—especially if those non-MD providers are not affiliated with a plastic surgery practice—though any injector with extensive experience will charge more per syringe.

For the sake of your safety and results, it’s well worth paying for a provider who has the training and years of experience to really know what they’re doing. 

Why? Results are very technique-dependent, and things can go very wrong in inexperienced hands. It’s crucial to find someone who knows how to minimize the risk of side effects (including injection site bruising), avoid potentially serious complications, and give you the best results.

As you’re choosing your provider, pay close attention to their credentials, patient reviews, and before and after photos. Especially if you book with a med spa, make sure you know who will be wielding the syringe and can trust their training. 

4. Their practice location

Medical practices and med spas operating in areas with higher rents and costs of living typically have to pass those costs on to patients in the form of higher prices.

Prices can vary even by neighborhood, so it can be worth the time to get cost quotes from more than one qualified injector before you book. 

5. Whether you combine your facial fillers with complementary treatments

Some providers recommend a combination of injectables. For example, they may recommend Juvéderm cheek and lip injections, plus Botox or Dysport to smooth wrinkles. A combination treatment like this is sometimes called a liquid facelift, and the facial rejuvenation results it creates can look very natural.

Add-ons will increase your total cost, but some providers offer package discounts that make a combination more affordable than having each treatment in separate appointments. 

6. Special offers or discounts

Providers commonly offer limited-time promotions or discounts. For example, many practices offer 10% off for a second or third syringe. 

Most practices also participate in Allē, the loyalty program offered by Juvéderm’s parent company, Allergan Aesthetics. A free Allē membership allows you to earn reward points toward discounts on future Juvéderm treatments as well as other Allergan offerings, like CoolSculpting.

Dermal filler discounts are also common on discount sites like Groupon. Before you spring for cheap fillers at a medical spa you’ve never heard of before, do some research to ensure your treatment will be performed by an experienced, licensed provider with a stellar track record of patient reviews. (Dermal fillers are considered safe in the hands of an experienced injector, but the risks increase with someone who isn’t intimately familiar with facial anatomy.)
