Facial Fillers

While no one can completely stop the natural aging process, it is possible to slow the hands of time. Injectable facial fillers are a quick, non-surgical solution to lines, wrinkles and lost facial volume. With one treatment, wrinkles are smoothed out and volume is restored, rejuvenating the facial appearance. While results are temporary, repeat treatments can provide natural-looking and long-lasting results.

If you wish to transform your facial appearance from worn-out and aged to youthful and radiant, it may be time to consider treatment with facial fillers. Learn more about the injectable fillers we offer and find out which one is best for you by contacting a member of our team today.

How Juvederm Treatment Works

Your injectable treatment may take 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the size of the target area. Before treatment, a topical; anesthetic may be used to numb the area for maximum comfort. Then, a fine needle is used to inject the substance. Because there is no downtime, you are free to return to work or your regular routine immediately after treatment.

After Treatment

Following your treatment, you may experience temporary soreness and redness on the treatment area. A rare side effect is mild bruising in the treatment area, which can easily be concealed with makeup. Depending on the injectable filler used, results may be noticeable immediately after treatment or appear gradually over time. Because results are temporary, repeat treatments are recommended. A member of our team will advise on the best treatment plan for you depending on your aesthetic concerns and goals.

What are the pros and cons of Juvéderm?

Pros

  • It’s an effective treatment for facial rejuvenation, sculpting, and augmentation, with instantaneous results. 
  • Patient satisfaction is high. Of the thousands of reviewers on RealSelf, 90% say their Juvéderm treatment results were “Worth It.” 
  • All of the formulas in the Juvéderm collection of fillers are infused with the local anesthetic lidocaine, to minimize pain during and after treatment.   
  • Because hyaluronic acid is found naturally in the body, there’s little chance of an allergic reaction.   
  • Like other hyaluronic acid–based fillers, these can be dissolved with hyaluronidase if you don’t like your results or have a complication.  
  • Juvéderm Vollure and Voluma are the longest-lasting HA fillers available: results have been shown to last up to 18 months and up to two years, respectively. 

 

Cons

  • Results are temporary, as with all other FDA-approved dermal fillers. 
  • Fillers aren’t effective for treating sagging skin or severe facial wrinkles, so they’re not a substitute for any plastic surgery procedures like facelifts. They work best for people who’ve lost some facial volume but still have good skin elasticity.  
  • As with any injection, you’ll likely have some tenderness, bruising, lumps, and swelling in the first few days after treatment.  
  • More severe complications, like vascular occlusion, are possible with any injectable filler.
  • Results from this and other dermal fillers are very technique-dependent. In Juvéderm reviews, patients who say it was “Not Worth It” reported lumps, bumps, or asymmetry from poorly placed injections.
