Overview
One of the most popular lines of injectable dermal fillers are Juvéderm products. Juvéderm products treat moderate to severe lines and wrinkles on the face. They are proven to be safe, effective, and provide results that can last up to one to two years depending on the product. Juvéderm products are made with hyaluronic acid, which stimulates the natural production of collagen and elastin in the skin for long-term benefits. There are multiple products within the Juvéderm line which each offer unique advantages. At Cosmetic Surgery Specialists we use a range of their products including: Juvéderm Ultra XC, Juvéderm Ultra Plus XC, Juvéderm Voluma, and Juvéderm Vollure.

What to Expect
Juvéderm is a gel substance that is administered via a fine needle directly into the skin. Depending on the area being treated, a numbing cream will be used. Other than temporary redness, the treatment has no after effect that will prevent a patient from going back to normal routine. With any filler, there is no “one solution” or “one amount” for each person, these fillers can be injected subtly to give a refreshed appearance, or can be added to restore moderate volume loss.

Juvéderm FAQs
How Painful?
This procedure is almost pain-free. After the treatment there may be some swelling and bruising. These after effects are temporary and usually subside within a few hours.
Anti-Aging Alternative?
Dermal fillers have an outstanding track record for successfully reducing signs of aging with less risk than surgical cosmetic treatments. Other nonsurgical options include wrinkle relaxers, such as BOTOX® and Dysport®. Severe cosmetic issues such as loose and sagging skin may be better resolved by a surgical facelift. The approach taken will be based on the patient’s condition and aesthetic goals.
Back to 20?
It is important to set realistic expectations when undergoing any cosmetic procedure. While the treatment can take years off the face, it can only do so much for patients who have severe wrinkles and skin irregularities. Juvéderm will definitely help decrease fine wrinkles and creases, and the skin will appear smoother and softer.
