Juvederm

Juvederm® is wrinkle filler used to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds.  By replacing lost volume, the hyaluronic acid in Juvederm quickly corrects wrinkles with a simple injection.

Juvederm® comes in several different formulas to correct wrinkles of varying severity.  The latest formula, Juvederm Ultra XC, contains lidocaine for a more comfortable injection.

Is Juvederm Right for You?

Juvederm is recommended for patients of all skin colors and skin types, for treatments such as:

• Facial wrinkles and folds
• Thin lips
• Marionette lines
• Hollow areas in the mid-face

Juvederm® Treatment

Placement for Juvederm is determined after carefully evaluating the wrinkles present on your face.  Areas to be treated may be numbed with a topical anesthetic to make the procedure comfortable.  Using a fine needle and special technique, your plastic surgeon injects Juvederm to correct the contour irregularities present on your skin.

For most patients, the results of Juvederm® last 9-12 months.  You will need touch-ups and repeat treatments to maintain skin volume and wrinkle correction over the years.

What are the Risks of Juvederm®?

Hyaluronic acid fillers are safe and effective when administered by a qualified plastic surgeon. Because Juvederm is biodegradable and doesn’t contain ingredients that cause an allergic reaction in most people, you do not need a pre-treatment allergy test. We will learn about your medical history and ask you some important health questions to make sure Juvederm is a good option for you.

Side effects are usually minor and last fewer than 7 days. You may have some redness and swelling at the treatment sites for a few days, along with mild bruising or skin firmness.
