Juvederm® Treatment

Your aesthetic specialist will perform a consultation to determine the optimal Juvéderm® product and dosing to get the desired look you want. You will be given a topical anesthetic and ice to help with the discomfort. A needle and/or a blunt tip needle with a cannula will be used to inject Juvéderm® into the appropriate area.

Absolutely! Just with a more youthful, natural appearance!

You should schedule your filler appointment at least 2 weeks prior to a special event. You should also avoid dental procedures two weeks before and two weeks after filler placement.
Avoid anti-inflammatory or blood-thinning medications, if possible, for 7 days prior to injection. This includes medications and supplements such as aspirin, vitamin E, ginkgo biloba, ginseng, St. John’s Wort, Omega 3 fish oil supplements, and NSAIDS (such as ibuprofen, Motrin, Advil, Aleve, naproxen, etc.).
Avoid consuming alcohol 24 hours prior to a filler injection appointment.
If you have a history of cold sores, please let the aesthetic provider know, as this may warrant anti-viral medication prior to treatment.

There is no significant downtime. However, we do advise patients to limit certain activities post-injection. Avoid significant massage of the area post-injection unless instructed to do so by the provider. Avoid strenuous exercise or excessive heat or sun for 24 hours post-filler injection, as well as excessive heat or sun for 72 hours. Avoid excessive salt or alcohol consumption after a treatment, as these can increase your chances of swelling. We also advise patients to avoid dental work 2 weeks post-filler injection.

The most common side effects reported include redness and swelling at the injection site. Mild bruising and bleeding could also occur. Some mild pain, tenderness, firmness, and lumps or bumps have also been reported.
One of the risks with filler injection is unintentional injection into a blood vessel. Although rare, the complications could be serious and permanent and include vision abnormalities, blindness, strokes, temporary scabs, or permanent scarring.

You will see results instantly after injection; however, most patients see the full effects 14 days after their initial injection. Your provider will have you follow up two weeks post injection to monitor how the filler has settled into the desired injection site.

Results can vary depending on the amount and site of injection. Typically, Volbella® on the lips lasts 9–12 months; Volbella® on the tear troughs up to 2 years. Juvéderm® usually lasts 12–18 months, Voluma up to 2 years.

The final cost is dependent on a thorough consultation with your experienced aesthetic injector.
Pricing starts at $525, depending on the area treated.

You should not receive the Juvéderm® line of fillers if you are pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. You should not receive Juvéderm® if you have a prior history of an allergic or inflammatory reaction to Juvéderm®. Caution should also be demonstrated in those with histories of allergic reactions to lidocaine, as some Juvéderm® products contain lidocaine to help with the discomfort. Individuals with a history of autoimmune or inflammatory responses should discuss this with their provider before undergoing a Juvéderm® treatment.
