What Is JUVÉDERM?
JUVÉDERM® injectable gel is an FDA-approved dermal filler that temporarily treats moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds.
JUVÉDERM is an injectable made of hyaluronic acid (HA), a natural sugar found in the body that maintains your skin’s hydration and elasticity. In youthful skin, HA is abundant, providing essential nutrients and structural support. However, as we age and with increased exposure to the sun, our skin's HA levels diminish and lose volume and firmness. JUVÉDERM injectables effectively replenish these HA levels, helping to restore your skin's youthful plumpness and smoothness.
What Areas Can Dermal Fillers Treat?
Dermal fillers offer a non-surgical solution to enhance facial features and achieve a younger-looking appearance. This minimally invasive method addresses various common aesthetic issues, including:
Here’s how JUVÉDERM works to address specific issues:
- Facial Lines and Wrinkles: JUVÉDERM fillers are exceptionally effective in smoothing away facial lines and wrinkles, including smile lines, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and perioral lines. The filler adds volume beneath the skin’s surface, which lifts and smooths out the areas where deep creases are present, providing a youthful complexion.
- Lips and Cheeks Enhancement: For those seeking fuller lips or more pronounced cheeks, JUVÉDERM provides a natural enhancement. It can increase lip volume, define lip shape, and augment cheekbones, creating balance and enhancing facial symmetry.
- Contouring and Definition: JUVÉDERM can sculpt and define areas like the jawline and chin without the need for surgery. By adding volume, it can create a more defined profile and enhance your overall facial structure.
- Delicate Facial Areas: JUVÉDERM excels in treating delicate areas such as tear troughs and temples. It reduces dark circles and hollowing around the eyes and contours the temple area.
- Hand Rejuvenation: As one of the first body parts to show signs of aging, hands can benefit greatly from JUVÉDERM treatments. The filler diminishes the appearance of veins and tendons, restores volume, and leaves a smoother, younger-looking surface.
- Improving Skin Elasticity and Texture: While primarily a volumizer, JUVÉDERM also helps improve skin texture and elasticity. The hyaluronic acid in the filler naturally attracts water to the skin, which can aid in hydration and give the skin a plumper and smoother appearance.
- Specialized Treatments: JUVÉDERM can treat more specialized concerns such as acne scars and ‘tech neck’ lines. By plumping up the skin around scars and creases, JUVÉDERM can make these less pronounced and smooth the skin’s surface.
What to Expect From Your JUVÉDERM Treatment
Choosing JUVÉDERM treatments at Opal Aesthetics means you’re on your way to a more refreshed and youthful appearance. Here's what you can expect from your JUVÉDERM treatment experience:
- Consultation: Your JUVÉDERM treatment begins with a personal consultation. Our skilled practitioners will discuss your aesthetic goals and evaluate your skin's condition. This step ensures that the treatment plan is customized to your specific needs, addressing areas of concern effectively.
- Preparation: Before the procedure starts, we’ll thoroughly clean the treatment area and may apply a topical numbing cream to minimize discomfort. This preparation step ensures that your experience is as comfortable as possible.
- The Procedure: Your clinician will administer JUVÉDERM using a fine needle or cannula to inject the hyaluronic acid-based gel into the targeted areas. Our expert injectors use precise techniques to sculpt, fill, and enhance features, ensuring natural-looking results. The injection process typically takes about 15 to 60 minutes, depending on the areas being treated.
- Immediate Aftercare: After the injections, your clinician may gently massage the treated areas to distribute the filler evenly. You'll receive specific aftercare instructions. We advise that you avoid strenuous exercise, excessive heat, and sun exposure for few days.
What to Expect From Your JUVÉDERM Results
Experience visible enhancement immediately after your JUVÉDERM treatment at Opal Aesthetics. The subtly profound results offer a rejuvenated appearance that feels natural and refined. Over the following weeks, as any mild swelling subsides, you’ll see the full effects of JUVÉDERM: smoother skin, softened wrinkles, and restored volume. These results typically last six to eighteen months, depending on the product used and your response. With follow-up treatments, you can maintain your youthful glow all year round.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Does Recovery Look Like After Getting JUVÉDERM Fillers?
Following your JUVÉDERM injections, you can expect minor swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites, which typically go away in a few days. We recommend avoiding strenuous activities and excessive heat or sun exposure for the first 24 hours for the best outcomes. We’ll give you detailed aftercare instructions and are always available to address any concerns.
How Long Does JUVÉDERM Treatment Take?
A typical JUVÉDERM session is swift and efficient, taking approximately 45 - 60 minutes, depending on the areas treated. This quick turnaround time makes it an ideal "lunchtime procedure," allowing you to return to your daily activities with little to no downtime. Our skilled practitioners provide effective and efficient treatments, so you spend minimal time in the clinic while achieving optimal results.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Dermal Fillers?
Ideal candidates for dermal fillers are individuals looking to address signs of facial aging and enhance certain facial features without undergoing surgery. Patients should be in good general health and know they may need to regularly repeat treatments to maintain the best outcome.
Other considerations for who can have JUVÉDERM treatments include:
- Not currently pregnant or breastfeeding
- No workouts for 48 hours after
- No dental appointments (including cleanings) two weeks before or after
- No surgeries two weeks before or after
- No antibiotics within two weeks of treatment
- No vaccinations for two weeks before or after
- No travel for 72 hours after
- No active cold sores
What Are the Side Effects of Dermal Fillers?
Some common side effects of dermal fillers include mild swelling and potential redness in the targeted areas. Issues like bruising and lingering discomfort are rare, but do happen. Most individuals can resume normal, non-strenuous daily routines immediately after treatment.
Do JUVÉDERM Injections Hurt?
JUVÉDERM filler treatments are generally well-tolerated and considered to be minimally painful. Most people describe it as a mild discomfort rather than actual pain.
JUVÉDERM products often contain lidocaine, a mild anesthetic, which helps numb the treatment area during the injection process. Additionally, we can apply a topical numbing cream at your request to the area before administering the injections.
Patients might feel a slight pinch, pressure, or minimal stinging sensation during the procedure as the needle is inserted.
