What Is Juvederm®?

Juvederm® is an injectable dermal filler that restores volume to areas of the face that have lost their youthful fullness due to the natural aging process. By adding volume, Juvederm® helps to smooth out wrinkles, folds, and creases, giving the face a more youthful and refreshed look. Common treatment areas include:

Nasolabial folds (lines running from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth)
Marionette lines (lines running from the corners of the mouth to the chin)
Cheeks (to restore lost volume and contour)
Lips (to enhance volume and definition)
Chin and jawline (for contouring and definition)

Treatment with Juvederm® typically takes only about 15 minutes, and the effects can last anywhere from 6 months to a year or longer, depending on the area treated and the specific formula used.

Why Choose Juvederm®?

Dr. Paul Leong and his team use Juvederm® because of its versatility and natural-looking results. Juvederm® is made of a smooth, gel-like substance that integrates seamlessly into the skin, offering immediate and noticeable results. Dr. Leong carefully selects the appropriate Juvederm® product for each patient based on their individual needs and goals, ensuring that the outcome looks natural and balanced.

In addition to the natural results, Juvederm® also contains lidocaine, a local anesthetic, to make the injection process more comfortable for patients.

Advanced Microcannula Technique

At Leong Facial Plastic Surgery, Dr. Leong utilizes the microcannula technique to perform Juvederm® injections. This advanced method uses a blunt-tipped instrument to place the filler with greater precision, resulting in less bruising, swelling, and discomfort compared to traditional needle injections. The microcannula technique also allows for a smoother and more even distribution of the filler, enhancing the overall cosmetic outcome.

What Are the Different Types of Juvederm®?

Juvederm® offers a range of formulations to address specific concerns:

Juvederm® Ultra XC: A versatile formula ideal for smoothing out moderate to severe wrinkles and folds, as well as for lip augmentation.
Juvederm® Ultra Plus XC: A thicker, more robust gel designed for deeper wrinkles and creases, as well as for adding volume to areas like the cheeks.

Dr. Leong will help you determine which formulation is best suited to your unique needs during your consultation.

Post-Treatment Care

After your Juvederm® treatment, it is important to follow a few simple post-care instructions to ensure optimal results. These include:

Avoid vigorous exercise, excessive sun or heat, and alcohol for at least 24 hours.
Refrain from touching the treated area for at least 6 hours after your injections.
If swelling or redness occurs, apply a cold compress to the area to help reduce inflammation.

Most patients experience minimal downtime and can return to their daily activities immediately following treatment.

Is Juvederm® Safe for All Skin Types?

Yes, Juvederm® is FDA-approved and is considered safe and effective for all skin types and tones. Since it is injected beneath the surface of the skin, Juvederm® does not affect the pigmentation of the skin and carries a low risk of hyperpigmentation or scarring, making it a suitable option for individuals with darker skin tones.

Do Juvederm® Injections Hurt?

While pain tolerance varies from person to person, most patients find Juvederm® injections to be very tolerable. The addition of lidocaine in the formulation helps to minimize discomfort, and Dr. Leong’s use of the microcannula technique further reduces any pain or discomfort. Dr. Leong’s experience and precision ensure that your treatment is as comfortable as possible, with minimal side effects.
