What Is JUVÉDERM?
JUVÉDERM dermal fillers are injectable gels made primarily from hyaluronic acid. This range of fillers is designed to address specific areas where signs of aging are most evident, such as around the eyes, mouth, and cheeks. With their ability to integrate smoothly into the skin, JUVÉDERM products provide subtle enhancements by restoring lost volume and smoothing out skin creases.
What Are the Benefits of JUVÉDERM?
Smooth, Natural-Looking Results
The Vycross® crosslinking technology used in JUVÉDERM filler products enhances their effectiveness and durability. This technology blends different molecular weights of hyaluronic acid, allowing the filler to integrate seamlessly into the skin for smooth and natural-looking enhancements. The results are subtle yet noticeable.
Biocompatible Ingredients
Hyaluronic acid, the primary ingredient in JUVÉDERM, is naturally found in the skin, which makes these fillers highly biocompatible. This compatibility is important for maintaining the skin’s natural softness and moisture and is the reason that the treatment is temporary. Your body breaks down and absorbs the biocompatible ingredients after a certain amount of time.
Temporary, But Long-Lasting Results
While the effects of JUVÉDERM treatment are not permanent, they do last considerably longer than many other cosmetic enhancements. Patients can enjoy the rejuvenating effects for up to one to two years, depending on the specific product used and the area treated.
Many Different Treatment Areas
JUVÉDERM’s versatility extends to various facial areas, including lips, cheeks, chin, and around the eyes. Each formulation is designed to be effective for different concerns, from adding volume to the cheeks to reducing fine lines around the mouth.
Non-Surgical Facial Rejuvenation
Opting for JUVÉDERM allows patients to achieve facial rejuvenation without the downtime or risks associated with surgical procedures. This non-surgical approach can help patients maintain their daily routines immediately after their visit, with minimal disruption.

Common Questions About JUVÉDERM?
How Long Does JUVÉDERM Last?
Each product in the JUVÉDERM line of fillers is different. Some products can be expected to last around six months. Others can last for two years. If an area of the face is more dynamic, results may not last as long. For deep injection in less movable areas, results can last much longer. You can also maintain your results longer by prioritizing skin health and protecting these areas from the sun.
Are JUVÉDERM Injections Uncomfortable?
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during their JUVÉDERM treatment. The injections contain lidocaine, a mild anesthetic, to ease any discomfort at the injection site. While you may feel a pinch with each injection, this discomfort is minimized by the small size of the needle and the quickness of the treatment.
Who Is a Good Candidate for JUVÉDERM?
Individuals looking to address signs of aging such as wrinkles, fine lines, and volume loss are good candidates for JUVÉDERM fillers. It is well-suited for adults who are in good health and have had a chance to chat with us about their expectations and goals.
What Should I Expect Before, During, and After My JUVÉDERM Treatment?
Before your treatment, you should avoid medications like aspirin to reduce the risk of bruising. During the treatment, the targeted areas will be cleansed, and the filler will be precisely injected. Afterward, you might notice a little swelling or bruising, which goes away quickly. You’ll see your full results in a few days after the swelling goes away.
JUVÉDERM vs. Botox®: What Is the Difference?
JUVÉDERM and Botox are both used to treat signs of aging, but they work differently. JUVÉDERM is a dermal filler that adds volume and smooths out deep lines by restoring hyaluronic acid in the skin, while Botox temporarily paralyzes muscles to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Both treatments are minimally invasive but cater to different types of aging concerns.
