What to Expect
If you want your skin to have a younger, smoother look without surgery, Juvéderm may be right for you. Juvéderm is a filler that works through an injection beneath the skin, targeting the areas where you have wrinkles and lines. Made from hyaluronic acid, a natural substance found in the body that helps maintain skin volume and hydration, Juvéderm creates a fuller appearance by plumping the skin to add volume. There’s no need for plastic surgery to achieve completely natural-looking results!
During the procedure, one of our nurse practitioners will inject Juvéderm gel into your skin. Injections take about 15 minutes to an hour, depending on how many areas you are having treated. Since Juvéderm contains lidocaine, a localized pain reliever, the procedure is usually very comfortable and painless. Following the treatment, most clients notice results instantly, which can last from six months up to a year.
Treatment is safe and there is no recovery period involved. Side effects are usually minimal but can include temporary redness, swelling, or bruising, which should subside quickly. We do not recommend Juvéderm to clients who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
