Looking for a safe, effective way to soften lines or enhance facial features without surgery? JUVÉDERM® is a leading choice in dermal fillers, offering a subtle yet powerful way to smooth wrinkles, restore lost volume, and contour the face.

At Metropolis Dermatology in Pasadena, we provide expertly tailored JUVÉDERM® treatments to address your unique facial anatomy and aesthetic goals. Whether you’re seeking fuller lips, more defined cheekbones, or overall rejuvenation, our approach ensures natural-looking results that elevate your features without looking overdone.

What is JUVÉDERM®?

JUVÉDERM® is a line of FDA-approved dermal fillers made from hyaluronic acid (HA)—a substance naturally found in the body that keeps skin plump and hydrated. These fillers are injected beneath the skin to restore volume, fill deep lines, and enhance facial definition, delivering noticeable results with minimal downtime. With various formulations designed for different treatment areas, JUVÉDERM® offers a customizable solution for facial rejuvenation.

 

What Can JUVÉDERM® Treat?

JUVÉDERM® is an ideal option for addressing a variety of aesthetic concerns, including:

  • Volume loss: Replenishes hollow areas in the cheeks and temples.
  • Deep lines and wrinkles: Smooths out folds like nasolabial lines and marionette lines.
  • Lips: Enhances shape, structure, and hydration.
  • Jawline and chin: Provides definition and structure for improved balance.
  • Facial symmetry: Adds subtle volume to create harmony between facial features.

 

Most Requested Treatment Areas

  • Cheeks: Restores youthful contour and mid-face fullness.
  • Lips: Adds volume and improves definition with a soft, hydrated finish.
  • Nasolabial folds: Softens the lines that extend from the nose to the corners of the mouth.
  • Marionette lines: Reduces downward-turning lines below the mouth.
  • Jawline & Chin: Refines jaw definition and enhances lower-face shape.

 

What Makes JUVÉDERM® Unique?

JUVÉDERM® products are formulated with proprietary cross-linking technology, which helps deliver longer-lasting results and a smoother gel texture. This ensures the filler blends seamlessly into the skin for natural-looking results that move with your facial expressions.

We offer popular formulations, including:

  • JUVÉDERM® Voluma: Adds lift and structure to cheeks and midface.
  • JUVÉDERM® Volux: Designed for sculpting the jawline and chin with durable support.

Each treatment is carefully customized to deliver subtle, elegant enhancements.

 

What to Expect During Your Appointment

Treatment sessions are relatively quick—usually 15 to 30 minutes. Here’s what you can expect:

  • Consultation: Your provider evaluates your goals and facial structure.
  • Numbing: A topical anesthetic may be applied for comfort.
  • Injection: Filler is skillfully administered using a fine needle or cannula.
  • Aftercare: Post-treatment instructions are given to minimize swelling and optimize results.

While you may experience mild bruising or swelling, most patients resume daily activities immediately.

 

How Long Do Results Last?

The longevity of your results depends on the JUVÉDERM® product used and treatment area:

  • Most results last between 6 and 18 months
  • Voluma and Volux may last up to 24 months in some patients
  • Maintenance appointments are recommended once or twice per year for consistent results

 

Post-Treatment Care Tips:

  • Avoid intense workouts or alcohol for 24 hours
  • Refrain from applying pressure to the treated area
  • Use cold compresses to reduce swelling, if needed

 

Ideal Candidates for JUVÉDERM®

You’re a great fit for JUVÉDERM® if you’re:

  • In overall good health
  • Looking to smooth lines, plump features, or restore balance
  • Hoping for non-surgical, natural-looking facial enhancements
  • Not currently pregnant or breastfeeding

Your provider will assess your skin and goals during a consultation to ensure you’re matched with the right formulation and treatment plan.

FAQs

How quickly will I see results?
You’ll notice improvements right away, with optimal results settling in over a few days.

Is the procedure painful?
Most patients report only minor discomfort, especially when a topical anesthetic is used.

Can JUVÉDERM® be reversed?
Yes. Since it’s made of hyaluronic acid, the filler can be dissolved with hyaluronidase if needed.

Are the results permanent?
No. JUVÉDERM® is temporary but long-lasting. Regular touch-ups maintain your look.

Can it be combined with other treatments?
Absolutely. Many patients combine JUVÉDERM® with Botox®, microneedling, or skin resurfacing for full-face rejuvenation.

I love Dr Higgins ! I’ve been a patient with her for the last two years. I originally came to see her because I was struggling with painful hormonal acne and a lot of hyper pigmentation issues. Two years later my skin is GLOWING and my confidence is up! Dr Higgins is so warm, friendly, and knowledgeable. She cares for all her patients like they are her family. I even come to the office twice a month now to see Bella for extraction facials that are covered by my insurance (incredible! unheard of! a $30 professional facial!). The team at the front desk are so sweet and also make sure that my favorite snacks are stocked in the waiting room when I come in, and are always really helpful when I need to coordinate my medication refills. I have recommended lots of my friends to see Dr Higgins for everything from acne issues to hair loss treatments. Dr Higgins is such a gem and I’m so happy I found her !

Quick, professional, and thorough! I was in and out within 20-30 minutes from arrival time. They resolved all of my issues regarding my skin as well as provided detailed information on recovery and treatment. I’ve already referred other patients who also had similar experiences.
