Frequently Asked Questions About Juvederm

1. What is Juvederm?

Juvederm is a family of hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers designed to restore facial volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the skin that retains moisture, contributing to a plump and youthful appearance.

2. How does Juvederm work?

When injected beneath the skin, Juvederm’s smooth gel adds volume to the targeted area, effectively reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles. It can also be used to augment lips and contour facial features, providing a natural-looking enhancement.

What are different types of Juvederm Fillers?

Juvederm offers a versatile range of hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers tailored to address various aesthetic concerns. The collection includes Juvederm XC, Juvederm Ultra, Juvederm Ultraplus, Juvederm Voluma, Juvederm Volbella, & Vollure.

3. What areas can Juvederm treat?

Juvederm is versatile and can address various facial concerns, including:

• Nasolabial folds (lines from the nose to the corners of the mouth)

• Marionette lines (lines from the corners of the mouth down to the chin)

• Lip augmentation

• Cheek volume restoration

• Chin and jawline contouring

4. How long do Juvederm results last?

The longevity of Juvederm results varies depending on the specific product used and the treatment area. Generally, results can last from 6 months to 2 years. Regular maintenance sessions can help sustain the desired outcome.

5. Are there any side effects of Juvederm?

Common side effects are typically mild and may include redness, swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the injection site. These effects usually resolve within a few days. Our board-certified MD will discuss potential risks and ensure you are well-informed before proceeding with treatment.

Juvederm injections contain lidocaine, a local anesthetic, to minimize discomfort during the procedure. Additionally, a topical numbing cream may be applied to enhance comfort. Most patients report minimal discomfort during the treatment.

7. How should I prepare for my Juvederm appointment?

To reduce the risk of bruising, it’s advisable to avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and certain herbal supplements, for at least a week before your appointment. Please consult with our physician before making any changes to your medication regimen.

8. What can I expect during the recovery period?

Recovery time is minimal. You may experience slight swelling or bruising, but these effects typically subside within a few days. It’s recommended to avoid strenuous exercise, excessive sun exposure, and alcohol for 24 hours post-treatment to ensure optimal results.
