Juvederm
WHO IS A CANDIDATE:
- If you have wrinkles on your face or
around your lips that you wish to diminish.
- If you desire to have fuller or more
defined lips.
- If you have deep nasolabial folds (the
line between the nose and the corner
of your mouth).
- If you have scars on your face that
you wish to improve.
INTENDED RESULTS:
- Juvederm™ can smooth out, fill in and
decrease wrinkles.
- Juvederm™ will plump lips and define
the edges of the lips.
- Juvederm™ can fill in and reduce the
depth of the nasolabial fold.
- Juvederm™ will fill depressed, acne
scars.
PROCEDURE DESCRIPTION:
- An injection of numbing medicine (Lidocaine)
may be used, if desired.
- Hyaluronic acid is present in all living
organisms. In your skin it creates volume,
resulting in a healthy and vital appearance.
Juvederm™ contains hyaluronic acid in
the form of a crystal-clear gel that
is injected into the skin to lift the
lip, wrinkle or fold. Once in the skin,
Juvederm™ works together with the body’s
own hyaluronic acid and joins forces
to create volume.
RECUPERATION AND HEALING:
- There may be some mild swelling after
the procedure. Using ice will help decrease
this. Most patients look normal with
make-up within one hour.
- Occasionally, mild bruising may be
seen or small dots may appear at the
locations where the needles were inserted.
OTHER OPTIONS
Lips can be enhanced with
implants such as Softform or Alloderm.
Wrinkles can be treated with laser resurfacing
or BOTOX® Cosmetic. Another type of filling material
can be used such as fat.
INSURANCE GUIDELINES
This procedure is
considered cosmetic and therefore is
not covered by insurance. The patient is
responsible for payment.
