Juvederm

Juvederm is a smooth injectable gel used to correct facial folds, lines and wrinkles.  Composed a natural tissue component called san francisco botox juvedermhyaluronic acid, Juvederm restores volume and fulness that has been lost over time. 

 

Why use Juvederm?

We use Juvederm for restoring tissue contour and volume, thereby reducing depressions and wrinkles.  It's also an ideal product for plumping up thin lips. Some of the common treatment applications for Juvederm include the following:

  • Smile lines on each side of your mouth
  • Restoring volume to sunken cheeks
  • Lip augmentation - adding volume to thin lips
  • Acne scars - often combined with other procedures

 

Is Juvederm FDA approved?

Juvederm was approved in 2006 by the US FDA for the treatment of mild to moderate facial creases.

 

What can I expect after Juvederm treatment?

Results will be visible immediately after your injections. Dr. Maddali personally performs all his injectable procedures and focuses on patient comfort. Due to some minor swelling, you may look a little fuller than you expect, but this will improve rapidly over the next few days.

If you experience mild swelling or bruising from any type of injection, ice or cold packs can help to minimize swelling or discomfort. You can generally apply makeup over the treated area immediately. Dr. Maddali gives all his patients Arnica (a homeopathic medication) to decrease swelling after injectable fillers.

 

How long does Juvederm last?

Results from Juvederm injections typically last 6-12 months in the nasolabial folds, 3-6 months in the lips, and 9+ months in the tear trough area.
