Question 1

What’s Juvéderm?

Accepted Answer

Juvéderm is a dermal filler made of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the skin. Dermal fillers help reduce lines and restore fullness in the face. As people age, our faces naturally lose their “baby fat” and look thinner, making lines and wrinkles stand out more.

Question 2

Is Juvéderm right for me?

Accepted Answer

Juvéderm may be a great solution if you’re seeking a temporary fix for lines, wrinkles, recessed scars, thin lips, or loss of fullness in the cheeks. It may not be a good idea if you have a history of hypertrophic scarring or keloid formations. For the best results, you should not be taking blood-thinning medications. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons says that you may be a good candidate for dermal fillers if you are physically healthy, don’t smoke, and have a positive outlook and realistic goals in mind. Although Juvéderm is sometimes referred to as a “liquid facelift,” it cannot give you the same results as surgery.

Question 3

Is Juvéderm permanent or dissolvable?

Accepted Answer

Juvéderm is not permanent. It will naturally be broken down and reabsorbed by your body over time, and it can also be dissolved with an injection of hyaluronidase.

Question 4

How long does Juvéderm last?

Accepted Answer

It can be hard to know how long Juvéderm will last for you. It depends on the body part that was injected, the skill of the provider who did the injection, and the individual patient. The same treatment can last longer in one person than in another.

Question 5

How long does it take to see results?

Accepted Answer

Juvéderm results are immediate, but there may also be some minor swelling and bruising that goes away after a week.

Question 6

What’s the difference among Juvéderm products?

Accepted Answer

Juvéderm is actually a collection of four products: 1. Juvéderm XC is intended for the facial tissue, including nasolabial folds. 2. Juvéderm Voluma XC is intended for deep injection in the cheek area. 3. Juvéderm Ultra XC is intended for the lips and area around the mouth. 4. Juvéderm Volbella XC is intended for the lips and to correct vertical lip lines.

Question 7

What are the side effects of Juvéderm?

In general, Juvéderm has relatively few side effects besides some temporary discomfort and bruising.
