Allergan announced that the company has received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to market Juvéderm Vollure XC, for correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds, in adults over the age of 21. In the U.S. pivotal clinical trial, a majority (59 percent) of subjects saw improvement in moderate to severe nasolabial folds for up to 18 months.
