Juvederm™ is an FDA approved Hyaluronic acid based dermal filler lasting up to one year. Juvederm™ injection is a smooth consistency gel that helps to restore your skin volume and smooth away facial wrinkles and folds like: nasolabial folds or “smile lines”, smoker’s lines, “marionettelines”, frown or “worry” lines, tear troughs. Since Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in the body, there is no need for allergy testing.
Juvederm™ injections comes in two formulations-Juvederm™ Ultra and Juvederm™ Ultra Plus. Juvederm™ Ultra Plus has higher concentration of Hyaluronic acid and used for larger/ deeper folds.

Is treatment with Juvéderm™ injection painful? – We always numb (anesthetize) the treatment area so there is only minimal or no discomfort involved. The procedure is very simple and takes 15-30 minutes.
What are the complications? – The most common risks are bruising and swelling. Other possible side effects include soreness, itching and infection. Most adverse events are mild and resolve over a 2-7 day time period. Patients with a history of cold sores will need to be pretreated with an anti-viral medication for prevention.
What should I do prior to the treatment? – Aspirin, Vitamin E supplements, Ibuprofen or St. John’s Wort should be avoided for few days prior to the procedure to avoid bruising. We recommend that you don’t have Juvederm™ done for at least 2 weeks before a big event. A follow up visit will be arranged 1-2 weeks after the procedure to determine if any touch ups are necessary.
Can Juvederm™ be combined with other treatements the same day? – It is completely safe and sometimes even beneficial to have your Juvederm™ injection with other treatments like: Botox, IPL,Radiesse, etc. Call us to arrange your complimentary consultation.
