Juvederm Denver

What is Juvederm?

Juvederm is one of the best selling dermal fillers due to it’s smooth consistency, pliability and natural looking results. Juvederm is used to smooth facial lines, wrinkles and nasolabial folds and a perfect choice for enhancing the lips. We are highly experienced in providing Juvederm to our patients in Denver.

Juvederm is made from hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance our body produces to hydrate and volumize the skin. As we age, the level of hyaluronic acid in our body decreases. Juvederm therefore simply supplements lost hyaluronic acid due to aging.

Juvederm is very effective in enhancing specific facial features and providing instant, natural looking results. Juvederm is one of the most popular treatments at Injector 5280 due to the results it can achieve.

We also provide Juvederm Volbella which is a softer dermal filler specifically designed for the lips. Whether your lips have thinned over time- or you simply want fuller lips, Volbella provides a hydrated, silky and natural look. Volbella also smoothes the appearance of vertical lip lines.

Which Areas can Juvederm be Administered?

• Frown lines, or the ‘elevens’ that run between the eyebrows (glabellar lines)
• Worry lines,  that run across the forehead (deep forehead lines)
• Smile lines, or “parenthesis” that run from the side of the nose to the corners of the mouth (nasolabial folds)
• Crow’s feet, at the corners of the eyes (periorbital lines)
• Vertical lip lines around the mouth, sometimes known as ‘smokers lines’ (perioral lines)
• Marionette lines, around the corners of the mouth (oral commissures)
• Lips, to better define the border, and to increase the plumpness of the upper and lower lips
• Philtral columns, also called philtral ridges, the vertical columns that rise above the upper lip, between the Cupid’s bow and the nose

What Preparation is needed for Juvederm?

To lessen the possibility of bruising and bleeding, 10-12 days prior to receiving injectable treatments we recommend avoiding aspirin, St.John’s Wort, Omega 3, high doses of Vitamin E, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatories e.g. Aleve, Motrin, Advil, and Ibuprofen etc. If you take aspirin for medical purposes, please continue use. If you have recently suffered from facial cold sores please notify your Aesthetic Injector prior to receiving injections, and follow our recommended treatment plan.

How is Juvederm Administered?

The treatment begins with collectively mapping out your customized treatment plan, reviewing post-care and answering all your questions and concerns. Ten minutes prior to treatment, we start with the application of ice and a topical numbing cream which helps alleviate discomfort during the procedure. The injection process takes approximately 30-60 minutes and involves a series of small injections into the deep dermis of the preferred treatment area.

What can I Anticipate after Treatment?

There is very little, if any, downtime or recovery needed. You can resume most activities right away. It is important to not rub or massage the treated areas so that the filler can remain undisturbed. Juvederm injections, just like any other injection, can cause some bruising and swelling. We have some special techniques that we use to minimize the swelling and bruising associated with Juvederm injections. However, if bruising and swelling occurs it will subside and fade in a few days. Some mild redness is normal after the procedure and should diminish in 60 minutes. Make-up can be applied 15 minutes after treatment. If you experience any mild aching at the site of injection after the procedure this can easily be controlled with Tylenol.

When can I Expect to see Results?

Immediately after the treatment you will see an increase in volume and a smoother appearance. Results will continue to improve over the next 48 hours. Your body will naturally acclimate to the hyaluronic acid and the product will bind to water, producing a fuller appearance.(individual results may vary).

Proactive Maintenance

Juvederm needs to be repeated and maintained. The actual length of result can vary from person to person due to differences in facial anatomy, gender and lifestyle. Proactive maintenance is key to providing continued results (individual results may vary).

I had been thinking of getting Juvederm for years and I finally decided to try it. The injections were painless and I could notice a difference immediately.
