What is Juvéderm?

Juvéderm is a dermal filler injected under your skin. The filler consists of hyaluronic acid in a smooth gel base.

Your body produces hyaluronic acid, the substance crucial for keeping your skin hydrated. The gel is formulated with different consistencies to treat various areas.

What aesthetic concerns does Juvéderm treat?

You can choose Juvéderm to:

• Diminish wrinkles and deep folds
• Enhance lip size
• Restore cheek volume
• Lift cheeks
• Fill scars
• Augment and define your chin
• Improve jawline definition
• Eliminate hollow areas under your eyes

Juvéderm can temporarily erase facial wrinkles and folds, including tiny wrinkles above your lips, laugh lines, and marionette lines (deep lines from the mouth to the chin).

What should I expect during a Juvéderm appointment?

Your Fountain of Youth Medical Spa provider learns about the changes you want to make in your appearance and examines your skin. Then, they plan your Juvéderm treatment, explaining the number of injections you need and where they’ll go.

Though no one likes needles and injections, Juvéderm treatments should never be painful. Your provider applies a topical anesthetic and uses ultra-fine needles, which cause little to no discomfort even without a numbing cream. 

Juvéderm products also contain a local anesthetic, ensuring your comfort during the injection.

Will I have side effects after a Juvéderm injection?

You may have redness, bruising, tenderness, and slight swelling after a Juvéderm injection. These side effects usually disappear quickly. However, injections targeting the chin and jaw go deeper than those for wrinkles. As a result, your side effects may last a little longer.

How long will my Juvéderm results last?

Juvéderm produces immediate and long-lasting results. The improvement is obvious after your provider finishes injecting the gel.

Though your body safely absorbs the gel over time, it happens slowly. Your results last up to 1-2 years, depending on the product and treatment area.

Injections to diminish wrinkles maintain results for up to 12-18 months. Cheek injections may last up to two years, while treatments targeting your under-eye area, lips, chin, and jaw provide results lasting up to one year.

You can depend on the experienced Fountain of Youth Medical Spa team to rejuvenate your appearance. Call the office or book a consultation online today to learn more about Juvéderm.
