The natural effects of time and gravity mean that our skin loses elasticity and its natural volume. Loss in volume and facial wrinkles and folds such as “smile lines” or “parentheses” between the corners of the mouth and nose may be making you look older than you feel. Other patients who wish to add volume to their naturally thin areas such as the lips or cheeks, or correct the contour and shape of areas like the nose bridge or chin, are excellent candidates for the plumping, and contouring effects of Juvéderm. Juvéderm® is a naturally occurring FDA-approved injectable that is effective to correct facial wrinkles and folds or add volume, leaving you with a smooth, young, and natural appearance. Juvéderm® is made from a hyaluronic gel that is naturally found in the skin that binds water to naturally plump out lines and wrinkles.

FAQs

What is Juvederm, and how does it work?

Juvéderm is a dermal filler made of hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the body, which helps to restore volume, smooth deeper wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. It works by attracting and retaining moisture in the treated areas, providing a fuller and more youthful appearance.

How long do the effects of Juvederm last?

The effects of Juvéderm typically last between 6 months and one year, depending on the specific product used and the area treated. Over time, the body naturally absorbs the filler, so maintenance treatments are needed to sustain the results.

What areas of the face can be treated with Juvederm?

Juvéderm is commonly used to treat areas such as the lips, cheeks, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, jawline, and under-eye hollows. It can also be used to enhance facial contours and provide overall facial rejuvenation.

Are there any side effects or risks associated with Juvederm?

Common side effects include temporary redness, swelling, bruising, and tenderness at the injection sites, which typically resolve within a few days to a week. Serious complications are rare but can include allergic reactions or infections, so it is important to have the procedure performed by a qualified professional.

How long does a Juvederm treatment session take, and what can I expect during the procedure?

A Juvéderm treatment session usually takes about 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the areas being treated. During the procedure, a fine needle or cannula is used to inject the filler into targeted areas, and most patients experience only minimal discomfort due to the presence of lidocaine in the formulation.

How long does Juvederm last?

The results of Juvéderm can last anywhere from six months to two years, depending on the specific product used and the area treated.

Is Juvederm safe?

Juvéderm is FDA-approved and considered safe for most patients. It uses hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the body, to provide a natural-looking enhancement.

Does Juvederm hurt?

Most Juvéderm products contain lidocaine to minimize discomfort during the injection. Any minor swelling or discomfort after the procedure typically subsides within a few days.

How long is the recovery from Juvederm?

Juvéderm requires minimal downtime; most patients can return to normal activities immediately. Any minor swelling or bruising typically resolves within a few days.

What areas can Juvederm treat?

Juvéderm can treat wrinkles, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, lips, cheeks, and under-eye hollows for added volume and smoothness.

Patient Testimonials

Dr. Colony did AMAZING work!!!! I could NOT be happier with my results. I am 6wks post op breast augmentation and I am completely 150% satisfied. I spent 2hrs asking questions in my consultation. He answered every single one of them. The procedure went perfectly and great CRNA and staffing. Great pre/post-op packet given before surgery. Am sooooo pleased with my results!! Couldn't be happier!! Would recommend to everyone, tell everyone about Dr. Colony!!

Was very cautious, and thought long and hard about whether I should or shouldn't. Awesome decision. Should have done it a long time ago. A great accomplishment that couldn't have been done without the help of Dr. Colony and his awesome team. If you're living a minute with any self-doubt or low self-esteem about a certain body part, put your Nikes on and JUST DO IT!

Dr. Colony is hands down the most gifted plastic surgeon around!
