Juvederm 👄👄👄
Overview of Juvederm
Juvederm, a hyaluronic acid-based smooth gel filler, is injected beneath the skin to immediately smooth out facial lines and creases.
Hyaluronic acid, which is found within the body and plays a crucial role in pulling water to the skin to maintain its hydration and fullness, is used in Juvederm to add volume and smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, particularly around the mouth and nose.
The results are noticeable right away, with very little downtime required.
As one of the leading dermal fillers, Juvederm presents a non-surgical alternative for lessening moderate to severe wrinkles and folds on the face. It helps restore volume and shape that is often lost due to aging, sun exposure, and gravity.
Juvederm has been safely and effectively used for facial sculpting and rejuvenation in over 30 million treatments over the last decade.
Benefits of Juvederm
Some of the benefits of Juvederm filler include:
- Instantly adds volume to smooth away facial wrinkles and folds with natural-looking results
- Restores facial contours and shape
- Plumps lips and enhances lip shape
- Corrects smile lines, vertical lip lines, and marionette lines around the mouth
- Lifts and sculpts cheeks
- Softens hollows under eyes
- Improves the appearance of facial scars
- Results last up to 1 year with minimal downtime
How Juvederm works
Juvederm gel is infused with hyaluronic acid, a natural skin component that provides essential nutrients while retaining moisture and ensuring softness.
The smooth consistency of Juvederm enables injections to easily fill wrinkles, folds, and facial hollows in areas that have lost volume. The hyaluronic acid in Juvederm attracts and binds water molecules to add immediate volume under wrinkled skin.
Once injected, Juvederm integrates into facial tissues to provide smooth, natural-looking results.
Treatment Areas for Juvederm
Some of the most common areas treated with Juvederm include:
- Smile lines (nasolabial folds) – Plumps and smooth lines from nose to corners of mouth
- Marionette lines – Fills vertical lines that run from the mouth down to the chin
- Vertical lip lines (smoker’s lines) – Smooths vertical lines on the upper lip
- Cheeks – Restores volume to lift and contour cheeks
- Under eyes – Fills hollows and conceals dark circles
- Lips – Adds subtle or dramatic fullness to the top and bottom lips
- Chin – Creates a more balanced facial profile by smoothing dimpling
Safety and Side Effects
Juvederm filler is considered extremely safe when performed by an experienced, licensed injector. However, patients may experience some mild side effects like:
- Temporary redness and swelling at injection sites
- Minor bruising or tenderness
- Headaches, flu-like symptoms
These typically resolve within a week. More serious but rare side effects like infection or hard lumps may occur if improper injection technique is used. Your injector will review all potential side effects with you.
Preparing for Juvederm
To prepare for your Juvederm injection:
- Avoid blood thinners like aspirin, NSAIDs, fish oil, and vitamin E for 1-2 weeks to minimize bruising
- Avoid alcohol for 24 hours before and after
- Schedule appointments at least two weeks prior to important events
- Arrive with clean skin, free of makeup around the treatment area
- Numbing cream may be applied if desired
During the Juvederm Treatment
The actual Juvederm injection process only takes about 15-30 minutes. Your provider will likely:
- Cleanse skin in the treatment area
- Precisely mark injection sites
- Apply topical or injectable numbing medication if requested
- Using specialized techniques, inject small amounts of Juvederm gel just under the skin
- Smooth and mold the filler for optimal results
- Complete any touch-ups needed
You may feel a slight stinging sensation with each injection that resolves quickly. Ice packs, vibration tools, or additional numbing medication can maximize comfort if needed.
After the Juvederm Treatment
You should avoid strenuous exercise or consumption of alcohol for 24 hours after Juvederm injections. Some common things you may experience post-treatment include:
- Mild swelling, redness, and bruising at injection sites
- Tenderness or sensitivity around the treatment area
- An uneven appearance until the swelling subsides
Swelling typically peaks at two days and resolves within a week. Avoid manipulating or massaging the treatment area unless instructed by your provider. Always follow your provider’s post-care instructions.

Longevity of Juvederm Results
While individual results may vary, most patients can expect Juvederm volumizing effects to last 12 months or more. First-time filler patients often opt for a repeat treatment around the nine-month mark to maintain optimal wrinkle smoothing. Consistent repeat treatments allow sustained facial rejuvenation over time.
Important Juvederm Safety Information
As with any procedure, the proper injection technique and adherence to safety precautions are imperative when receiving Juvederm filler. Your licensed provider will review full safety information with you, but risks can include:
- Minor infection at the injection site
- Unsightly lumps or bumps under the skin if improperly injected
Always disclose your full medical history and any medications or supplements you are taking to reduce the likelihood of complications. Proper injection methods, sterilization techniques, and aftercare reduce risks.
