What is JUVÉDERM®?
JUVÉDERM® is a versatile collection of injectable dermal fillers made from hyaluronic acid—a substance naturally found in the skin that helps retain hydration and volume. Known for its long-lasting effects, this treatment smooths wrinkles, enhances lips, and reshapes facial contours. With little to no downtime, JUVÉDERM® can be tailored to your unique beauty goals.
Common Treatment Areas
- Nasolabial Folds: Softens the creases that extend from the nose to the corners of the mouth.
- Cheeks: Restores volume to hollow or sunken cheeks for a fuller, youthful look.
- Lips: Adds volume, improves shape, and enhances symmetry.
- Marionette Lines: Reduces the lines extending from the corners of the mouth to the chin.
- Jawline Contouring: Defines and refines the jawline for improved facial balance.
Target Concerns
- Volume Loss: Replenishes lost volume in areas such as the cheeks or temples.
- Wrinkles and Fine Lines: Smooths moderate to severe lines, including crow’s feet and nasolabial folds.
- Lips: Enhances thin or uneven lips for a well-defined, plumper look.
- Facial Symmetry: Balances uneven features to create a harmonious appearance.
What Sets JUVÉDERM® Apart?
JUVÉDERM® stands out for its range of formulations, each developed to target specific facial areas and concerns. Whether you want to sculpt your cheekbones, add definition to your jawline, or smooth away wrinkles, JUVÉDERM® has a solution tailored to your needs. The advanced cross-linking technology used in JUVÉDERM® fillers ensures smoother, more natural-looking outcomes with results that last longer. At Metropolis Dermatology, we offer JUVÉDERM® Voluma and JUVÉDERM® Volux to address your aesthetic goals.
What to Expect During Treatment
JUVÉDERM® treatments are quick and minimally invasive. A fine needle is used to inject the filler into targeted areas, with sessions typically lasting between 15 and 30 minutes. A topical numbing agent may be applied to enhance comfort during the procedure. While results are noticeable immediately, some mild swelling or bruising may occur and typically resolves within a few days.
How Long Results Can Last
Depending on the product and treatment area, JUVÉDERM® results can last anywhere from six to 18 months. To prolong your results, it’s recommended to avoid intense physical activity and direct sun exposure for at least 24 hours after treatment. Maintaining a healthy skincare routine and staying hydrated can also help keep your skin looking its best.
Who are the Ideal Candidates?
JUVÉDERM® is suitable for adults seeking to address volume loss, smooth wrinkles, or enhance facial features such as lips or cheeks. Individuals with healthy skin generally achieve the best results, though those with severe allergies or active skin infections should consult a specialist prior to treatment.
