The ideal candidates for JUVÉDERM injectable wrinkle fillers are adults who have lines and wrinkles on their faces that they would like to improve. It may also help if you have naturally thin or age-related volume loss in your lips or cheeks, earlobes, or you desire to add fullness to your buttocks. Additionally, JUVÉDERM can smooth lines on your neck and the back of your hands. JUVÉDERM wrinkle filler treatments at Bodian Dermatology are fantastic if you would like to improve the appearance of your face while avoiding the expense and downtime of plastic surgery (like facelifts, brow lifts, eyelid lifts, or lip implants).

JUVÉDERM injections typically only last around 15 – 30 minutes, depending on the number of areas being addressed. Your face will be cleaned, then the injection sites will be selected and marked. To minimize discomfort throughout the treatment, JUVÉDERM formulas contain a local anesthetic (lidocaine). Following your treatment, you can go back to your normal routine; however, strenuous activity, such as exercise, should be avoided for at least a day. You need to be careful to not touch your face immediately after your treatment to prevent pushing the filler into unwanted areas.

You should experience a visible improvement immediately after your JUVÉDERM procedure, but you may also develop mild bruising or swelling in the injected areas for approximately 7 – 10 days. The results of JUVÉDERM injections typically last up to one year; some patients notice that their improvements last longer after multiple years of treatments. Talk to Dr. Bodian about when to schedule your next session at Bodian Dermatology to maintain your results. 

Are JUVÉDERM injections painful?
Though many patients don't find it needed, a local anesthetic can be massaged into the treatment area prior to injection if you are worried about discomfort. After the treatment, you might experience mild to moderate swelling and bruising that will usually subside within a week, depending on the treatment area. You should contact our office if you have any severe pain or signs of infection following your JUVÉDERM injection.

What is the difference between a wrinkle filler and relaxer?
Injectable fillers and relaxers correct wrinkles throughout the face, but with different approaches. Injectable relaxers, such as BOTOX, treat dynamic wrinkles caused by repetitive muscle movements. JUVÉDERM is an injectable dermal filler that improves static wrinkles by increasing volume. JUVÉDERM is great for improving mild to moderate lines and wrinkles or to add volume to your cheeks and lips.

How long do results typically last?
The effects of one JUVÉDERM injection can last anywhere from 1 – 2 years. This will vary based on which formula is selected and where it was injected. The length of your results can also be faster or slower, depending on the speed at which your body breaks down the product.
