Juvéderm is a popular dermal filler designed for smoothing wrinkles, restoring volume, and rejuvenating the face. Through the use of hyaluronic acid, a substance found naturally in our skin, Juvéderm helps to hydrate and add fullness where volume loss and wrinkles have occurred. At Art of Skin Dermatology, Tania Cohen, DMSC, PA-C, offers a range of Juvéderm treatments tailored to address common signs of aging, including lines around the nose, mouth, and lips and facial contouring.
Juvéderm is an excellent option for both men and women who want to enhance their appearance without undergoing surgery. It can soften lines and plump lips and improve facial contours for a refreshed, natural-looking result.
Before receiving Juvéderm, a consultation is conducted to discuss your aesthetic goals and assess which areas of the face would benefit most from the treatment. It ensures that each patient receives a personalized treatment plan for the best possible outcome.
HOW DOES JUVÉDERM WORK?
Juvéderm replenishes the hyaluronic acid that diminishes with age, leading to a smoother, more youthful appearance. The hyaluronic acid in the skin attracts and retains moisture, which helps to plump it and fill in wrinkles. When injected into targeted areas of the face, Juvéderm adds volume beneath the skin’s surface, creating a smoother and fuller look.
Juvéderm is versatile and can be used for various concerns. It is effective for smoothing nasolabial folds (the lines that run from the corner of the nose to the corner of the mouth), marionette lines, and vertical lip lines. It can also enhance lip volume, contour the cheeks, and define the chin or jawline.
The results are immediate and long-lasting, with most patients enjoying the effects for up to a year or more, depending on the specific Juvéderm product used and the area treated.
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT DURING A JUVÉDERM TREATMENT SESSION?
A typical Juvéderm treatment session begins with a thorough consultation to evaluate your facial anatomy and discuss your goals. Your provider will then recommend the best Juvéderm product for your needs, whether you’re looking to fill deep lines, enhance lip volume, or contour specific facial features.
A numbing cream may be applied during the procedure to ensure comfort. The Juvéderm filler is injected into the targeted areas using fine needles or cannulas. The injection process is precise, with your provider carefully placing the filler to create a smooth and natural result. The entire session usually takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the treated areas.
Since Juvéderm is a non-surgical treatment, the patient can resume normal activities immediately.
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT AFTER A JUVÉDERM TREATMENT?
After your Juvéderm treatment, you may experience bruising, swelling, or redness at the injection sites. It usually takes a few days for these side effects to subside. Cold compresses can help reduce any swelling, and your provider will provide aftercare instructions to ensure the best possible results.
One of Juvéderm’s benefits is that the results are visible immediately after the treatment, with the skin appearing smoother and fuller. Over the following days, as the filler settles, the final results will become more apparent, and you’ll notice a natural improvement in the treated areas.
Juvéderm results typically last between 6 and 18 months, depending on the product used and the area treated. Many patients have touch-up treatments to maintain their desired look over time.
