What is Juvederm®?
Juvederm® is a minimally invasive cosmetic treatment that adds volume to sunken features of the face to smooth away signs of aging and fine lines and deep wrinkles, providing patients with an overall more refreshed and rejuvenated appearance. This dermal filler is specially formulated with hyaluronic acid, a naturally-occurring sugar in the body responsible for giving the skin its signature youthful plump. Juvederm® simply adds volume back into aging areas of the face and replenishes naturally missing hyaluronic acid which increases collagen production for the long-term. Patients typically use Juvederm® to treat:
- Parentheses or laugh lines around the corners of the mouth
- Naturally thin lips and vertical lip lines
- Marionette lines or lines from the corners of the mouth down to the chin
- Sunken or hollowed cheekbones and under-eyes
What Can I Expect During my Juvederm® Treatment?
Each of your Juvederm® treatments will be performed in our state-of-the-art medical facility by one of our Board Certified Dermatologists. Before your Juvederm® treatment begins, a topical anesthetic may be applied to the treatment area, typically around the mid- to lower face. Once you are numb and relaxed, a series of Juvederm® injections will be carefully and strategically made to your treatment area.
What Results Can I Expect from Juvederm®?
Because Juvederm® is minimally invasive, there is no downtime or recovery period associated with each treatment. Most patients are able to return to their normal daily activities, including work, immediately following their Juvederm® appointment. While you may see some results of your Juvederm® treatment immediately, ultimate results will become visible in about five to seven days when all swelling subsides. The results of your Juvederm® treatment may last anywhere between nine and 18 months.
