Facial volume can gradually change with age, making lines more noticeable and altering the contours of your cheeks, lips, chin, or jawline. JUVÉDERM® offers a collection of FDA-approved injectable dermal fillers made with modified hyaluronic acid (HA), a substance naturally found in the body. Different products within the collection are designed for specific areas of the face, allowing treatment to be tailored to your features and aesthetic goals.
At Upper West Side Dermatology, JUVÉDERM injections are approached with a focus on facial balance, natural-looking enhancement, and your individual preferences. The practice’s board-certified dermatologists offer cosmetic care within a comprehensive dermatology setting that also includes medical, surgical, and pediatric services.
What Is JUVÉDERM?
JUVÉDERM is a family of injectable hyaluronic acid fillers used to temporarily restore or add volume in specific facial areas. The collection includes six FDA-approved HA fillers with indications across several areas of the face, allowing providers to select a formulation based on the location and type of correction desired.
Depending on the specific JUVÉDERM product, treatment may be used for areas such as facial wrinkles and folds, lips, cheeks, chin, jawline, or under-eye hollows. For example, JUVÉDERM VOLLURE XC and JUVÉDERM Ultra Plus XC are approved for treating moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds such as nasolabial folds.
Benefits of JUVÉDERM
Because the JUVÉDERM collection includes multiple formulations, treatment can be customized instead of using the same filler for every facial area. Potential benefits may include:
- Restoring or enhancing facial volume
- Softening the appearance of certain wrinkles and folds
- Enhancing lip shape or fullness
- Improving cheek or chin contours
- Creating more definition along appropriate areas of the face
- Producing visible improvement immediately after treatment
Results and duration vary depending on the specific product, treatment area, amount injected, and individual patient.
Candidates for JUVÉDERM
JUVÉDERM may be appropriate for adults who want to address volume loss, enhance facial contours, or soften specific wrinkles without surgery. A consultation is important because not every product is appropriate for every concern or patient.
JUVÉDERM products should not be used in people with certain severe allergies or previous allergic reactions to hyaluronic acid fillers. Treatment should also be postponed when active inflammation or infection is present at the planned injection site.
The JUVÉDERM Treatment Process
Your visit begins with an evaluation of your facial anatomy, concerns, and desired degree of enhancement. Your dermatologist can then select an appropriate product and determine where and how much filler should be placed.
JUVÉDERM is administered through injections into the targeted facial tissue. Treatment time varies with the number of areas addressed, and multiple areas may be treated as part of a personalized plan when appropriate.
Recovery and JUVÉDERM Results
JUVÉDERM does not require surgical incisions or a lengthy surgical recovery. Results from JUVÉDERM fillers are visible immediately after treatment, although the final appearance may continue to settle as temporary injection-site effects improve.
As with other injectable fillers, temporary reactions can occur. Your dermatologist will review expected aftercare, potential side effects, and any activities you should limit following your injections.
