Recovery

Juvéderm is an injectable gel used to gently reverse the many signs of aging that are seen on the face, including fine lines and wrinkles, crow’s feet, thin lips, and loosening skin. These are generally caused by a loss of volume over time, which can be the result of decreased collagen production and fat that begins to sag. Because of its ability to restore volume and plump the contours of different parts of the face, Juvéderm has been effectively used to add volume to the lips, sculpt the cheeks, and restore a younger-looking facial profile.

The office is immaculate. I’m always greeted with a smile and everyone remembers my name!! I’m usually in and out of the office, not like usual doctors’ offices where you sit and wait and wait. They get you in, they do their thing, answer all your questions, and send you on your way.

Dr K and his entire team were incredible. They answered all of my questions, got right back to me every time I reached out and were beyond friendly. The front desk made me feel welcome, Dr K was professional, caring and precise. The nurses and other medical personnel were wonderful too. Overall 100 stars, highly recommend.

What is Juvederm Injectable Gel?

Juvéderm is an FDA approved injectable treatment synthesized from hyaluronic acid, a substance found naturally in the human body that helps retain moisture. The formula uses a modified form of hyaluronic acid to create a smooth gel infused with lidocaine, which helps minimize discomfort during treatment. Products within the Juvéderm collection can address age related volume loss, smile lines, severe facial wrinkles, and severe temple hollowing. Options such as Juvéderm Voluma can restore facial volume, while a lip filler may be used for lip augmentation. By supporting facial contours and improving skin smoothness, Juvéderm can produce natural looking results.

Who Is a Candidate for Juvéderm?

Patients with visible signs of aging who want a nonsurgical way to improve moderate wrinkles or moderate to severe facial folds may benefit from Juvéderm. It may also be appropriate for individuals experiencing a severe loss of volume in certain facial areas. The optimal treatment depends on the patient’s concerns, health history, and desired results, and outcomes seen in actual patients may vary. Certain allergies or medical conditions may affect candidacy, while side effects that are commonly reported include temporary swelling, tenderness, bruising, or redness. Dr. Kayastha can recommend the appropriate Juvéderm product and determine whether complementary cosmetic treatments may enhance your results.

Dermal filler injections such as Juvederm are comprised of naturally occurring substances that help to ease the recovery period and diminish discomfort.

What Happens During a Juvéderm Treatment?

Most Juvéderm treatments take up to a half-hour, depending on how many areas are being treated. Patients usually tolerate the injection well, since Juvéderm contains lidocaine for comfort, but we can provide a topical numbing cream for additional comfort. Once the treatment area is prepared, the expert injector places the Juvéderm gel underneath the skin at the appropriate level (for example, sensitive areas like the lips require a surface-level injection). This requires a skillful and artistic touch in order to shape the area with natural results that don’t appear ‘stuffed’. Since immediate results are usually visible, more injections can be added as needed.

What Can I Expect After Juvederm Treatment?

Although patients usually see results immediately after treatment, there can be some redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site. These side effects usually subside quickly with massaging the area or applying an icepack if needed. Most patients return to their regular tasks afterward, since Juvéderm does not require any downtime. Results can last up to six months, after which the injection can be repeated.

Juvederm has gained popularity as a dermal filler for treatment areas such as nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and lips, offering improved texture and added volume.

Alternatives to Juvéderm Filler

Juvederm Voluma

Similar to Juvederm, Juvederm Voluma uses a hyaluronic acid base to add volume to the face. However, Juvederm Voluma is specifically designed to plump hollowed cheeks, creating a much more youthful appearance overall.

Fat Transfer to Add Volume

Fat transfers are a unique procedure offering two benefits in one. Using liposuction, fat is harvested from a donor site and reinjected into a preferred area for augmentation and contouring all at once.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I wear makeup after Juvederm?

Yes, as long as you avoid pressing on the treated areas, you are allowed to use makeup to conceal any redness or bruising that may be the result of Juvederm injections.

Can Juvederm be reversed?

Yes, if you have unfavorable results or adverse side effects to Juvederm, it can be instantly un-done by injecting the enzyme hyaluronidase to the treated area(s).

Is Juvederm lumpy at first?

Immediately after treatment, patients may see raised areas of their faces, so-called bumps, directly underneath the injection sites. These bumps go away within the time it takes to leave our offices after injections.

What happens when Juvederm settles?

After Juvederm is injected, the product begins to attract water in your skin. This process hydrates the skin and naturally boosts its volume.

Will one syringe of Juvederm make a difference?

This can depend largely on the skill of your injector. For certain treatment areas, one syringe can be more than enough while in other areas you may need multiple.

Does juvederm dissolve over time?

Juvederm, like every dermal filler, is metabolized by your body over time as it relies on a naturally occurring substance, hyaluronic acid, to add volume to certain areas of the face.

Is Juvederm covered by insurance?

No, dermal fillers are elective cosmetic treatments, so they are not covered by medical insurance plans.

What should you avoid before Juvederm?

Make sure to avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements for at least one week before your procedure. This can help prevent visible bruising during injection.

How long does it take for Juvederm to settle?

Although you’ll see results immediately after your injection session, it can take up to 2 weeks for the product to take hold.

Can Juvederm migrate?

Depending on the specific formulation of Juvederm, it can spread out slightly through the treated area, although this usually only serves to enhance the natural look of its results.

How long after Juvederm will I see results?

Your results from Juvederm are immediate, although some settling/distribution occurs during the first week after your injection appointment.

Is Juvederm expensive?

In Albany, NY, Juvederm treatments cost between $450 and $750 depending on the treated area, type of filler, and amount of Juvederm needed.

Does Juvederm work on forehead lines?

Botox is much better suited to reducing the appearance of forehead lines than Juvederm. Your injector can determine your best options during your consultation.

Does Juvederm look natural?

When injected with well-qualified, highly experienced injectors like those at K Plastic Surgery, Juvederm results are seamlessly natural-looking.
