Overview
Juvederm is one of the most popular injectable fillers used at our Dallas plastic surgery office. Comprised of hyaluronic acid, a natural and valuable component found in the skin that depletes as we age, Juvederm adds volume where this depletion is noticeable. Once injected, the surface of the skin looks fuller, smoother and softer. Dr. White uses Juvederm to treat areas where wrinkles reside closely together. This is because once injected, Juvederm tends to spread beyond the actual injection site. Producing results that can last up to 9 months, Juvederm is primarily used for the correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds. It is commonly injected around the mouth, nasolabial folds, lips, and can also be used to fill deep creases between the eyebrows.
What to Expect
Juvederm is performed during an in-office appointment. Prior to receiving the injection, an assessment will be made as to where the injections will go, and how much of the medication (number of syringes) is needed to produce the desired results. During the appointment, the areas of the injection sites will be marked with ink and a numbing cream will be applied to help with any discomfort. As the solution is injected into the skin, the surgeon will massage the area so that the medication diffuses and spreads evenly. Cold compresses are then applied to help with swelling.
Juvederm® Reviews
After Treatment
After a Juvederm treatment, patients can return to work, but exercise or strenuous activity should be avoided for about 24 hours. The injections sites will appear red and swollen, but this goes away within a couple of hours. Some patients may bruise, but this is also temporary. The visible results after the injections are noticed immediately. The results will last for about 6-9 months before another round of injections are needed or desired.
Expected Cost
The cost will vary based on the number of syringes needed, which is determined based on the size of the area, the amount of wrinkles and the depth of wrinkles.
