JUVÉDERM injections generally only take about 15 – 30 minutes, depending on the number of areas being treated. Your face will be cleaned and injection spots will be marked. To minimize discomfort during the treatment, JUVÉDERM fillers can contain lidocaine (a local anesthetic). After your treatment, you can resume your normal routine, but strenuous activity, like exercise, should be avoided for at least 24 hours. You should be careful to not touch your face after your injections to avoid moving the filler into unintended areas.

You should experience a noticeable improvement immediately after your JUVÉDERM treatment, but you may also see mild swelling or bruising in the treated areas for about 7 – 10 days. The results of JUVÉDERM injections usually last up to one year; some patients find that their improvements last longer after a few years of treatments. Talk to your injector about when to book a touch-up or full treatment at Advanced Dermatology to maintain your results.

How much does JUVÉDERM cost?
Your cost for a JUVÉDERM injection will vary dependent on the amount of filler that is needed to achieve your cosmetic goals. Prior to your JUVÉDERM treatment, a customized treatment plan will be created to fit your aesthetic goals. After this, your injector will discuss cost estimates and payment options.

Are JUVÉDERM injections painful?
Although most patients don't think it's needed, a local anesthetic can be applied to the treatment area before injection if you are worried about discomfort. After the treatment, you might feel mild to moderate swelling and bruising that should subside within a week. Please contact Advanced Dermatology if you experience any lasting discomfort or signs of infection following your JUVÉDERM injection.

What is the difference between a wrinkle filler and a relaxer?
Relaxers and fillers address wrinkles throughout the face but in different ways. Injectable wrinkle relaxers, such as BOTOX®, work to treat dynamic wrinkles caused by chronic muscle movements. An injectable wrinkle filler, like JUVÉDERM, improves static wrinkles and adds volume. JUVÉDERM is designed to correct mild to moderate wrinkles or reverse volume loss in your lips and cheeks.

What results can I expect?
It may take a few days to see the complete improvements from your treatment. Typically, it takes only one session to reach your aesthetic goal. However, you can make a follow-up appointment if you would like to see more improvement or volume.

How long do results typically last?
The effects of one JUVÉDERM treatment may last up to two years. These will vary based on which formula is used and where it was injected. The longevity of results will depend on how fast your body breaks down the formula.

What areas can be treated with JUVÉDERM?

JUVÉDERM is commonly used to treat:

• Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
• Marionette lines (lines from the corners of the mouth to the jaw)
• Lip lines
• Lip augmentation
• Cheek augmentation
• Under-eye hollows
• Facial contouring

Can JUVÉDERM be combined with other cosmetic procedures?

Yes, JUVÉDERM is often used in conjunction with other cosmetic treatments like BOTOX® or laser therapies to achieve a more comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
