Juvéderm Treatments

Juvéderm is a safe FDA-approved cosmetic treatment that offers natural-looking facial rejuvenation. Juvéderm counters visible signs of aging by restoring volume and fullness to the skin. The treatment is effective in minimizing facial wrinkles and adding fullness to the lips.

Before a Juvederm treatment, you will speak with a skincare professional about your cosmetic goals and expectations. It will be important to discuss any allergies and sensitivities at this time.

Your skincare expert will advise you to avoid certain medications that may cause an increased chance of bruising at the treatment site. Alcohol intake and smoking are also discouraged prior to Juvéderm treatment, since these activities precipitate bruising.

The injector will inject Juvéderm fillers directly into the skin with a fine needle. Since Juvéderm already contains lidocaine, numbing the site prior to injection is not required. The treatment is typically done within 15 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area and the number of injections needed.

The results of Juvéderm may be seen instantly and are expected to last for 6 to 12 months. A good skincare routine and a healthy lifestyle help improve the results and longevity of the treatment.

After a Juvéderm treatment, patients can typically return to their normal activities right away. No recovery time or downtime will be needed.

Your skincare expert will advise that you avoid vigorous exercise for the first 24 to 48 hours to lessen swelling and bruising. Slight redness and numbness are expected after the treatment, but they can be relieved within a matter of hours or just a few days by applying ice to the region.

The total cost of Juvéderm treatment is determined by many factors. The number of treatment sessions required and the number of syringes needed affects the overall price. A single syringe may be enough for those who want to get rid of lines around the lips. Other treatment sites may require two or more syringes per treatment.
