Question 1

Am I a good candidate for JUVÉDERM® ?

Accepted Answer

When collagen production decreases, the skin becomes wrinkled because it is resting on tissue that no longer pushes it up and out. The best candidates for Juvederm® treatment are those individuals who are experiencing fine wrinkling not caused by brittle skin.

Question 2

What areas can JUVÉDERM® treat?

Accepted Answer

JUVÉDERM® can treat many areas, including the:
 • Cheeks
 • Nasolabial folds (lines from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth)
 • Mouth corner folds
 • Jowls
 • Under the eyes (orbital rim)

Question 3

How long do the results of JUVÉDERM® treatment last?

Accepted Answer

JUVÉDERM® results usually last between 10 to 12 months, with partial permanency due to new, natural tissue growth. Juvéderm® is not permanent, and because hyaluronic acid is naturally-occuring, our bodies will absorb it and you will need to return for another appointment to maintain results.
In the interim, touch-up treatments may be necessary to maintain optimal results. In repeat treatments, patients generally require less Juvéderm® to achieve the same results.

Question 4

What is the Procedure and Recovery after JUVÉDERM®

Accepted Answer

Procedure
A topical anesthetic cream is first applied to the areas to be injected, which takes about 30 minutes to go into effect. Your Aesthetic Practitioner then injects the dermal filler into the targeted areas of the skin with a tiny needle and syringe, which takes approximately 5 to 10 minutes to complete.
​
Recovery
After the procedure, your rejuvenated appearance will be visible immediately. Some mild swelling generally occurs for a few hours and occasionally longer. Bruising is possible, but makeup may be applied immediately to conceal any blemishes.
