• Juvéderm Vollure smoothes medium or deep wrinkles throughout the face, including nasolabial folds and other lines around the nose and mouth. The results on average are visible for up to a year.
• Juvéderm Volbella and Ultra add volume to the lower lip, upper lip, or the entire mouth while also improving the look of vertical lines in the lips. The improvements generally last up to a year.
• Juvéderm Ultra Plus is a thicker formula that is often used to treat nasolabial folds and marionette lines. It is also used to fill in depressed areas in the cheeks for a fuller appearance.

The best candidates for Juvéderm injectable fillers are men or women who have facial lines and wrinkles they would like to correct. It may also be beneficial if you have age-related volume loss or naturally thin lips or cheeks. Juvéderm wrinkle filler injections at Martin Plastic Surgery are great if you want to improve your facial appearance while avoiding the expense and downtime of facial plastic surgery (like facelifts, brow lifts, eyelid lifts, or facial implants).

Juvéderm treatments typically take about 10 - 15 minutes, based on the number of areas being treated. Your skin will be cleaned, then the injection sites will be marked. To minimize discomfort throughout the treatment, Juvéderm fillers contain lidocaine (a local anesthetic). Following your procedure, you can resume your normal routine; however, strenuous activity like exercise should be skipped for at least a day. You need to be cautious to not put your hands on your face immediately after your injections to prevent moving the gel into unintended areas.

You should see a visible enhancement immediately following your Juvéderm treatment, but you could also see light bruising or swelling in the injected areas of the face for about 7 – 10 days. The results of Juvéderm injections typically last as long as a year; several patients notice that their improvements last over a year after a few years of injections. Talk to Dr. Martin about how soon to schedule your next treatment at Martin Plastic Surgery to maintain your results.

How much does Juvéderm cost?
The price of Juvéderm will vary based on how much filler is necessary for the treatment area. The more filler that is used, the higher the cost of the treatment. Prior to your injection, a customized treatment plan will be created to fit your aesthetic goals and budget.

Will the treatment be painful?
Though most patients do not find it necessary, a local anesthetic can be applied to the treatment area prior to injection if you are worried about any pain. Following treatment, you may experience some slight swelling and bruising that will usually subside within a week depending on the treatment area. You should contact our office if you experience any significant pain or abnormal side effects after your Juvéderm treatment.

What is the difference between a dermal filler and a muscle relaxer?
There is a great difference between dermal fillers and muscle relaxers such as BOTOX. Where BOTOX works to relax wrinkles and help prevent future wrinkles, Juvéderm helps to add volume to the face. Juvéderm is ideal for filling in deep-set wrinkles including smile lines, and it is also beneficial for creating fuller lips.

What results can I expect?
It may take a few days to see the full results of your Juvéderm treatment. Typically, it only takes one treatment session to achieve your desired outcome. However, you can schedule a follow-up appointment if you would like to add more volume than received with your initial treatment.

How long do results typically last?
The effects of one Juvéderm treatment can last anywhere from 9 - 12 months. This may vary based on the area in which the filler was injected. The longevity of results can also depend on how the patient’s body breaks down the filler over time.
