Juvéderm®

Juvéderm injections on average only take about 15 – 30 minutes, depending on which areas are being corrected. Your face will be cleaned and injection spots will be selected. To reduce discomfort during the process, Juvéderm dermal fillers contain an anesthetic. After your treatment, you are allowed to go back to your daily routine, but strenuous activity including exercise should be avoided for at least 24 hours. You should be careful to not touch your face after your treatment to avoid massaging the filler into other areas. Juvéderm XC treatments usually last between 9 – 18 months depending on the area injected and your metabolism. The product is slowly absorbed by the body in a natural way. At this point, you will be able to notice the wrinkle has returned although some residual correction may still persist.

To maximize your results for facial rejuvenation utilizing a nonsurgical approach, you may also benefit from BOTOX treatment. This is most commonly used to address wrinkles that occur in the upper part of the face such as the forehead, area in between the eyebrows, and around the Crow’s feet. The combination of injectable filler and BOTOX Cosmetic is the “liquid facelift.”

You typically experience a noticeable improvement immediately after your Juvéderm procedure, but you may also develop mild swelling or bruising in the treated areas for approximately 7 – 10 days. The results of Juvéderm dermal fillers usually are visible for up to one year; some patients find that their improvements last longer after multiple years of treatments. Talk to Dr. Vinyard about when to book a touch-up or full session at VIPS to keep your results.

The price of Juvéderm will vary based on how much filler is necessary for the treatment area. The more filler that is used, the higher the cost of the treatment. Prior to your injection treatment, a customized treatment plan will be created to fit your aesthetic goals and budget. Once you have had a consultation with Dr. Vinyard, he will recommend the amount of filler/Juvederm XC needed to treat your areas of concern. If you decide to combine Juvederm XC treatments with BOTOX to treat the areas around the eyes and the forehead, we will provide a quote for you according to your selection and dosage. Our custom packages will provide with extra savings.

Though most patients do not find it necessary, an anesthetic can be applied to the treatment area prior to injection if you are worried about any pain. Following treatment, you may experience some slight swelling and bruising that will usually subside within a week depending on the treatment area. You should contact our office if you experience any significant pain or abnormal side effects after your Juvéderm treatment.

There is a great difference between dermal fillers and muscle relaxers such as BOTOX. Where BOTOX works to relax wrinkles and help prevent future wrinkles, Juvéderm adds volume to the face. Juvéderm is ideal for filling in deep-set wrinkles including smile lines, and it is also beneficial for creating fuller lips.

It may take a few days to see the full results of your Juvéderm treatment. Typically, it only takes one treatment session to achieve your desired outcome. However, you can schedule a follow-up appointment if you would like to add more volume than received with your initial treatment.
