Juvéderm™

What is Juvéderm™?

Juvéderm™ is an FDA-approved filler for the treatment of facial folds and fine lines.

What are the benefits of Juvéderm™ over other treatments?

Juvéderm™ is manufactured especially to be injected easily. It comes in several variations so it can be tailored to the needs of the client. Juvéderm™ has the highest concentration of hyaluronic acid in any filler, which provides an excellent, natural result. Juvéderm™ is the only filler with lidocaine to improve patient comfort during implantation.

Will there be downtime?

Resume normal activities, but be prepared for some redness and swelling for several days. Apply cool compresses to reduce swelling.

How long do the results last?

The FDA has approved Juvéderm™ to reamin up to one year. Some people may see a depletion anywhere from 6 to 12 months.

Who should avoid Juvéderm™?

Juvéderm™ should be avoided by those who have a history of excessive scarring, keloid formation, pigment disorders and those who are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Are there any possible side effects?

Temporary side effects may include swelling, tenderness, redness, uneven skin and bruising. As with any injection there is a risk of infection, but it is extremely rare.

Are additional treatments necessary?

Because the results eventually fade, repeated treatments are necessary to maintain a smooth and youthful look.

Instructions before treatment:

Avoid anti-inflammatory drugs and blood thinners.

Instructions after treatment:

Resume normal activities, but be prepared for some redness and swelling. Cool compresses are necessary to reduce swelling.
