The ideal candidates for Juvéderm injectable dermal fillers are women and men who have facial wrinkles and lines they want to improve. It can also help if you have naturally thin or age-related volume loss in your cheeks or lips.

Juvéderm injections generally only take about 15 – 30 minutes, depending on how many areas are being addressed. Your face will be cleaned and injection spots will be selected and marked. To decrease discomfort during the procedure, Juvéderm formulas contain a local anesthetic (lidocaine). After your treatment, you may continue your normal routine, but strenuous activity, such as exercise, should be avoided for at least 24 hours. You should be careful to not touch your face after your Juvéderm injections to avoid pushing the filler into unwanted areas.

You usually experience a noticeable improvement immediately after your Juvéderm injection, but you may also have mild swelling or bruising in the treated areas for around 7 – 10 days. The results of Juvéderm treatments usually can be seen for up to one year. Some patients find that their improvements last longer after 2 – 3 years of treatments. Talk to Dr. Sosa about when to book a touch-up or full injection session at Bloomfield Plastic Surgery to sustain your results.

Are Juvéderm injections painful?
They should not be. Though many patients do not think it's needed, a numbing cream can be massaged into the treatment area before injection if you're concerned about pain. Following the treatment, you might experience some slight bruising and swelling that should reduce over the next week. You should contact our office if you experience any severe pain or abnormal side effects following your injection.

What is the difference between a wrinkle filler and relaxer?
Relaxers and fillers improve wrinkles throughout the face, but in different ways. Injectable relaxers, like BOTOX, treat dynamic wrinkles created by frequent muscle contractions. An injectable wrinkle filler, like Juvéderm, corrects static wrinkles by increasing volume. Juvéderm is designed to correct mild to moderate lines and wrinkles or to add volume to your lips and cheeks.

How long do results typically last?
Your results from a Juvéderm injection may last anywhere from 1 – 2 years. This could vary depending on the selected filler and where it was injected. The length of your results can also depend on the speed at which your body breaks down the filler.

What results can I expect?
You may need to wait 1 – 3 days to see the complete improvements from your JUVÉDERM treatment. Usually, it only takes one session to reach your desired outcome. However, you may schedule another appointment if you want to enhance your results or increase volume.

How much does JUVÉDERM cost?
Your cost for JUVÉDERM will be dependent on the amount of filler that is needed to achieve your cosmetic goals. Prior to your injection treatment, a customized treatment plan will be made to fit your aspirations. Once this is complete, our staff can estimate costs and discuss payment options.

Is there downtime after JUVÉDERM injections?
Most patients can resume normal activities immediately after JUVÉDERM injections, as there is typically minimal downtime. Some individuals may experience mild swelling, bruising, or redness at the injection site, which usually resolves within a few days. Avoiding strenuous exercise, alcohol consumption, and excessive sun exposure can help minimize these side effects.
