About Juvéderm

Juvederm is one of our go-to dermal fillers for younger patients who want to maintain their youthful appearance or older patients who seek rejuvenation. Composed of a highly biocompatible hyaluronic acid base, Juvederm acts very much like the body’s naturally occurring hyaluronic acid, instantly hydrating the affected areas to visibly smooth out folds and add definition and fullness to aging areas of the face.


How it Works

Your provider will carefully review pre-treatment photos to identify possible problematic areas and then in consultation with you, determine the best treatment plan. Often this plan can involve more than one session for optimal outcome. A topical numbing cream is applied to contribute to your comfort and the treatment areas are thoroughly cleansed. Juvederm is then injected with scientific and artistic precision by your experienced injector. Each session will take about 1 hour depending on the extent of correction to be done.


Areas of Treatment

Juvederm is a highly effective and versatile filler. It can be used for the tear trough, in the temples, nasolabial folds, for cheek augmentation, marionette lines, and plumper, more youthful lips and even to enhance the jawline.

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT?2020-10-01T17:11:23+00:00

Juvederm instantly plumps, smooths or adds volume to the treated area. It can soften aging temples, nasolabial folds, correct sunken under-eye areas and volumize and define lips. This versatile filler can also be used to provide a “liquid lift” in the cheek area by supplementing the underlying skin structure, restoring fullness and giving the face a younger looking appearance.

The results obtained with Juvederm are long lasting, with the results of one treatment expected to last about 9 months before re-treatment is needed to maintain the initial results. We like to have our filler patients to return to the office for follow up at two weeks to one month.
