How Does Juvederm Work?

Juvederm is a dermal filler that is used to add volume to the face and lips. The active ingredient in Juvederm is hyaluronic acid, a natural substance found in every tissue and fluid of the body. The primary job of hyaluronic acid is to provide cushion and lubricant in joints and tissue. When concentrated and injected directly into the skin, this same substance has been shown to add volume, eliminating fine lines, reducing the appearance of deep wrinkles, and producing a softer, fuller, and more youthful appearance.

How Does Juvederm Work?

Juvederm is injected directly into the area being treated. Hyaluronic acid, the active ingredient in Juvederm, adds volume to the injection site, stimulating collagen production and helping to produce a fuller and more youthfully attractive appearance for several months at a time.

How Long Does It Take for Juvederm to Set?

It may take up to two weeks for results to be fully realized, but because there is no downtime associated with Juvederm, you can resume all normal activities immediately after your treatment. Some side effects, including redness and discomfort, may be present in the days following your initial treatment. Dr. Fata will provide you with care instructions and remain available to answer any questions during and after this time.

What can Juvederm Treat?

Juvederm is used to treat:

• Hollow or sunken cheeks
• Lines and wrinkles around the lips and nose
• Asymmetrical or deflated lips

How Long Do Juvederm Treatments Take?

Treatment with Juvederm typically takes 15-20 minutes. Some people choose to come in for treatment during their lunch break, but your level of comfort will dictate when it is best for you to visit. Dr. Fata will work directly with you to make sure that your experience is welcoming, comfortable, and rewarding.

Is Juvederm Safe?

Juvederm is a safe and effective way to address signs of aging at any age. Many people start injections in their 20s and continue receiving them every few years thereafter. If you have sunken cheeks, distracting lines and wrinkles, or an unappealing lip shape, you may be the ideal Juvederm candidate. The best way to find out is through a one-on-one consultation with our board-certified plastic surgeon.
