JUVÉDERM® is suitable for adults looking to diminish signs of aging, such as volume loss, fine lines, and wrinkles. Ideal candidates are in good general health and have realistic expectations about the results. It is also beneficial for individuals seeking a non-surgical option to enhance facial contours or improve the appearance of lips. A consultation with a healthcare provider can assess your individual needs and determine if JUVÉDERM® is the right option for your aesthetic goals.
Results from JUVÉDERM® treatments are visible almost immediately after the procedure. However, complete results usually develop within a week as any initial swelling subsides. Patients often appreciate the natural and enhanced appearance that gradually emerges during this time.
Results last for varying lengths, depending on the JUVÉDERM® product and treatment area. In general, the effects can last from six months to two years. Factors like individual metabolism, lifestyle, and the area treated can influence longevity. Maintenance treatments can help sustain the results over time.
JUVÉDERM® treatments generally involve minimal downtime. Some patients may experience minor side effects such as swelling, redness, or bruising near the injection site. These typically subside within a few days. More uncommon side effects can occur, so discussing any concerns with your provider is essential. Your provider will discuss post-treatment care and what to anticipate.
Before your JUVÉDERM® treatment, avoid blood thinners and alcohol to reduce bruising. Inform your provider about any medications or supplements you are taking to avoid complications. Afterward, follow your provider’s specific aftercare instructions, including avoiding strenuous activity, sun exposure, and touching the treated area. Applying a cold compress can help reduce swelling if needed.
JUVÉDERM® treatments involve a series of small injections administered with a fine needle. They are relatively fast and often completed in less than an hour. Most JUVÉDERM® products are formulated with lidocaine to reduce discomfort during the procedure. Your provider may also use topical numbing cream or ice to enhance comfort and ensure a smooth experience.
