People choose dermal fillers for many reasons. Some people want to replace volume lost from areas like the cheeks over time. Others want to enhance and boost areas like the lips. Juvederm® dermal fillers are targeted to provide superior results. This family of fillers has a formula to address many different facial concerns.
What are Juvederm® Dermal Fillers?
Juvederm® is a family of injectable hyaluronic acid dermal fillers. Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in your skin and in many skincare products. As a dermal filler, it can form complex cross-links that give each formula unique properties. Juvederm® fillers can address fine lines and wrinkles or add volume for a smoother, more defined appearance.
Am I a Candidate for Juvederm® Dermal Fillers?
Since hyaluronic acid is found throughout your skin, Juvederm® dermal fillers are safe for almost everyone. Good candidates have reasonable goals and expectations. Most healthy adults can have Juvederm® injections. Younger individuals often want to enhance or define areas like the lips, while older people may wish to treat fine lines and wrinkles or lost facial volume.
You should not have Juvederm® if you have had a negative reaction to hyaluronic acid fillers. You may need to reschedule your treatment if you have an injury or infection in the treatment area. Juvederm® is not recommended if you are pregnant or have certain health conditions.
What Can Juvederm® Dermal Fillers Treat?
Juvederm® dermal fillers can target a wide range of facial concerns. The most popular uses of these fillers include:
- Plump and enhance the lips
- Smooth fine lines and wrinkles
- Address nasolabial folds and marionette lines
- Restore or add volume to the cheeks
- Sculpt and define the jaw
Each Juvederm® formula works best for a different area. Lip fillers must be smooth and flexible to allow natural motion, while formulas used in the cheeks must be resilient and firmer. Your Manhattan Aesthetics injector will determine which formula can achieve your desired results.
How Long Do Juvederm® Dermal Fillers Last?
How long your dermal filler results last depends on the formula and your body’s response. Juvederm® lip fillers can last up to one year. Some other formulas can last up to two years. We recommend medical-grade skincare products and regular sunscreen to protect your results and help them last longer.
Is There Downtime After Juvederm® Dermal Fillers?
You can return to your usual activities after Juvederm® with no downtime. Some people notice minor bruising or swelling in the treated area that resolves within a few days. Limiting strenuous exercise and avoiding NSAIDS like ibuprofen for 24 to 48 hours can reduce the risk of bruising.
