What Is Juvederm®?

Juvéderm is the #1-selling collection of hyaluronic acid fillers in the US. Each product in the Juvéderm collection of fillers adds volume to a different area of the face—without surgery. All Juvéderm fillers are a smooth, crystal-clear gel that is administered by injection in your aesthetic healthcare provider’s office.

Different kinds of Juvéderm products are designed to address different aging-related issues, such as the development of wrinkles, volume loss, and loss of skin elasticity. These products include Juvéderm XC, Juvéderm Ultra XC, and Juvéderm Ultra Plus XC.

Where Is Juvéderm Used?

Different formulations are approved to either lift cheeks, smooth parentheses lines, smooth vertical lip lines, or plump the lips. The results are subtle and long-lasting.

What Is Juvéderm XC?

Juvéderm XC is a dermal filler product used to address the reduction in skin elasticity. It helps in smoothing out a wide variety of moderate to severe parentheses lines and other wrinkles around your nose and mouth. It can also add lip volume to thin lips.

Where Is Juvéderm Ultra XC Used?

Juvéderm Ultra XC is primarily designed to act as a lip filler, adding fullness to the lips and plumping the lips. It can also soothe and correct moderate-to-severe parentheses lines and other wrinkles in adults.

Where Is Juvéderm Ultra Plus XC Used?

Juvéderm Ultra Plus XC can address moderate-to-severe wrinkles, including the nasolabial folds that stretch from the corners of the nose to the corners of the mouth. It can fill these deeper age lines and folds because of its larger particle size.

What is Hyaluronic Acid?

Juvéderm fillers are made from hyaluronic acid (HA). HA is a natural substance in the skin that delivers nutrients, helps the skin retain moisture and softness, and adds volume. It works by attracting moisture within the skin and binding to the water molecules, restoring volume to the targeted areas.

Each product in the Juvéderm collection of fillers is made from a modified form of HA. After injection, these Juvederm products gradually and safely dissolve within the skin tissues.

Pros & Cons

Pros:

• Minimal recovery time allows for a quick return to daily activities.
• Treatments are customizable based on individual needs and aesthetic goals.

Cons:

• Temporary side effects may include swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection site.
• Allergic reactions are rare but can occur, especially in those allergic to lidocaine or whose bodies have had previous allergic reactions to hyaluronic acid fillers.

Am I A Good Candidate?

Patients who want to reduce the visibility of moderate and harsh signs of aging are the ideal candidates for Juvéderm treatments. Realistic expectations are key.

Anyone suffering from skin infections or still healing from fresh wounds on the targeted areas will need to address these before Juvéderm treatment. This can be discussed during a consultation.

Your Consultation

Your journey with Juvéderm begins with a crucial preliminary consultation. This session is designed to explore the array of treatment options that are tailored to your unique cosmetic desires. It’s an opportunity for an in-depth conversation about your medical history and current health, which will help set realistic expectations for the treatment’s outcome.

During the consultation, it’s important to discuss any active skin conditions you may have, such as sores, pimples, rashes, hives, cysts, or infections. Addressing these concerns is essential, as they may necessitate postponing your Juvéderm treatment to avoid interfering with the healing process or aggravating existing skin issues. Furthermore, the consultation is the right time to consider the implications of receiving Juvéderm if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, since the effects have not been fully studied. Dr. Daniel Reichner is available to talk through any potential risks and concerns.

The consultation also provides a platform to ask questions and gather additional details about the treatment. This is the ideal time to inquire about the financial investment required for your Juvéderm treatment plan. Dr. Reichner will provide you with all the necessary information to ensure you are fully informed before proceeding.

How Does the Treatment Process Work?

Juvéderm injections are a minimally invasive procedure. Since there are few requirements pre-injection, the procedure can be done on the same day as your consultation. However, if you have underlying health conditions, have recently been smoking or drinking, or are taking certain medications, Dr. Reichner should be notified during the consultation.

The duration of the procedure may vary, typically ranging from fifteen minutes to an hour, contingent upon the specific areas being targeted and the desired outcomes. The effects of a single Juvéderm injection can persist for six months to a year, after which subsequent filler treatments may be necessary.

When Will I See the Results?

You will see results immediately/instantly.

How Long Do Results Last?

Results of Juvéderm may last one to two years, with optimal correction depending on the formula used. Please see each product below to see how long results last with each formula, based on what was observed in clinical studies.

Juvéderm Aftercare

There is no lengthy recovery period involved with Juvéderm treatments. Every session is quick, and patients can return to their regular activities right away. Minor swelling, redness, and bruising may be present at the injection site but will ameliorate shortly.

To ensure the best possible outcome, you should minimize strenuous exercise, exposure to extensive sun or heat, and consumption of alcoholic beverages within the first 24 hours following treatment. While most side effects reported are mild and transient, there have been instances of more serious complications such as vision abnormalities, blindness, stroke, temporary scabs, or areas of the skin appearing white. Contact the Allergan product support department immediately if you’re experiencing these side effects.
