How It Works
Juvederm and other dermal fillers use an active ingredient called hyaluronic acid (HA), which naturally appears in human skin. Hyaluronic acid provides nutrients to the skin, along with helping it retain moisture and softness while providing additional volume.
Using non-surgical formats, each line of Juvéderm products utilizes hyaluronic acid properties to help add volume to the face. These products come in the form of a smooth, clear gel that’s administered via injection. There are a few different types that might be used depending on the exact area you’re looking to have treated – our Clarity Skin professionals can guide you toward which Juvéderm product will be best for you.
What to Expect During Treatment
Expect the following basic steps and considerations during Juvéderm dermal filler treatment:
- To begin with, we’ll take your medical history to ensure there are no risks or possible complications (these are rare).
- From here, we’ll give you a full facial analysis. This is just a simple, non-invasive analysis that helps both you and our specialists determine exactly which treatments will be best for you.
- Once you’ve determined a treatment, you can begin with the injection process. For those worried about pain, know that many Juvéderm products – the ones labeled with “XC” to be precise – are made with lidocaine that can help reduce any pain or discomfort for the injection. If you’re still concerned, speak to a specialist about a numbing cream or ice. We’ll make sure you undergo your procedure with little to no discomfort at all.
- In most cases of Juvederm treatments, you will begin to see results virtually instantly. There is no delay. Treatments will take between 15 to 60 minutes, depending on the specific area of your face we’re treating.
Results for Juvéderm treatments last between one and two years with optimal correction. This may vary between individual products or situations, and our specialists can let you know if you should be expecting a different range.
