JUVÉDERM® Injectable Gel
JUVÉDERM® Injectable Gel is a safe, effective gel that restores volume to the skin and smoothes away moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds. JUVÉDERM® is the first FDA-approved dermal filler proven safe and effective for persons of color. The JUVÉDERM® gel is made of hyaluronic acid with a smooth consistency, allowing for easy injections and instant, natural-looking results. There is no pre-testing needed for this procedure.
Topical or injectable anesthesia may be used during this procedure to numb the treatment area and minimize any potential discomfort. The results of this procedure are available right away and can usually last for up to a year, the longest results available from any hyaluronic acid product.
Range of Juvederm Gel Fillers
Dr. Cohen may recommend one of the following Juvederm products depending on your situation:
- Juvederm Voluma XC – used for deep injection in the cheek area. Used to correct volume loss due to age
- Juvederm Vollure XC – injected into the facial tissue to treat moderate to severe folds and wrinkles
- Juvederm XC – also injected into the facial tissue to treat moderate to severe folds and wrinkles
- Juvederm Ultra XC – used for lip augmentation by injecting into the lips and perioral area
- Juvederm Volbella XC – also used for lip augmentation by injecting into the lips, plus helps to treat perioral lines.
Only one treatment is needed to achieve the desired results, which should appear immediately and continue to improve over the next couple of days when the full results will be visible. You can expect some redness, swelling, and tenderness right after treatment, which will subside in a few hours.
Start your treatment today
Keep in mind that the results of Juvederm treatment are short-term, meaning that you need re-injections in 9 – 12 months intervals, of about half the amount of medication. Please visit Dr. Cohen today to discuss the suitability of Juvederm correction of facial wrinkles and folds for you.
