Juvederm Dermal Filler

Juvederm® injectable filler is one of the most popular dermal fillers in the United States. Juvederm products are available to restore volume and treat wrinkles, lines, and facial folds across different face areas. Natural aging and sun exposure can lead to visible signs of aging, causing us to look older than we are. Patients can now experience pan-facial rejuvenation without invasive plastic surgery thanks to dermal fillers like Juvederm. As one of the first doctors in New York to incorporate Juvederm injections, Dr. Green was an early adopter of this filler and has treated thousands of happy patients in her private Upper East Side dermatology office.

The Juvederm collection contains several uniquely formulated hyaluronic fillers that can be used on all patients with fine lines and deep wrinkles, regardless of skin type. Juvederm injectables are derived from hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring sugar complex in the skin that keeps the skin hydrated and plump. As we age, our bodies decrease the production of hyaluronic acid, and we cannot replace what is lost. By injecting a sophisticated hyaluronic acid filler, such as Juvederm, Dr. Green can replace facial volume loss, enhance facial features and contours, and restore a more youthful appearance. Juvederm injections are an excellent alternative to plastic surgery, helping patients achieve patients with smoother, rejuvenated skin with little to no downtime or side effects, especially when performed by an expert injector like Dr. Michele Green.

Dr. Michele Green is an internationally renowned board-certified dermatologist with over two and a half decades of experience providing some of the world’s most discerning individuals with the best cosmetic treatment options, including Juvederm injections. She is consistently identified as one of NYC’s best dermatologists by Super Doctors, Castle Connolly, and New York Magazine for her dedication to her patients and expertise. Dr. Green takes a holistic approach and embraces a “less-is-more philosophy” regarding facial rejuvenation, customizing each patient’s treatment plan best to suit their skin concerns and aesthetic goals. When you consult with Dr. Green at her private dermatology office in Manhattan’s Upper East Side neighborhood, she will work with you to create a personalized plan for achieving natural-looking, long-lasting, optimal results.

What is Juvederm?

Juvederm is a smooth injectable gel injected into the skin’s mid to deep dermal layer. Each Juvederm dermal filler has unique properties and is targeted to treat different body areas to provide various cosmetic treatment options. Juvederm is a hyaluronic acid dermal filler that restores the body’s natural hyaluronic acid- when injected into deep facial wrinkles, creases, and folds, Juvederm adds volume and fullness and enhances the skin’s moisture content. Juvederm products are created with Vycross Technology, a special proprietary technology that cross-links hyaluronic acid molecules to create a smoother gel filler. Juvederm Ultra Plus XC was the “original” dermal filler developed to treat these deeper lines and wrinkles in the face. Since then, numerous Juvederm products have been created, including Juvederm Vollure XC, Juvederm Volbella, Juvederm Voluma, Juvederm Volite, Juvederm Volux, Skinvive, and Juvederm Ultra XC. Each Juvederm injectable was designed with a unique formulation to treat different face areas and types of volume loss or facial wrinkles. Dr. Green is an Allergan Platinum injector and was among the first dermatologists in NYC to offer Juvederm injections for cosmetic enhancement and rejuvenation.

Who makes Juvederm?

The Juvederm collection of fillers is made by the pharmaceutical company Allergan Aesthetics. Allergan also makes Botox the gold standard injectable for reducing dynamic fine lines and wrinkles. Many patients use Juvederm and Botox in the same treatment session to achieve pan-facial rejuvenation results.

Is Juvederm FDA approved?

Yes! The Juvederm collection is approved as an anti-aging treatment in various treatment areas. Juvederm was first FDA-approved in 2006, and since then, many other types of Juvederm filler have followed suit. Juvederm Volbella is FDA-approved to treat hollows under the eyes, Juvederm Vollure is FDA-approved to erase fine lines and wrinkles on the face, Juvederm Ultra XC is approved for lip augmentation, and Juvederm Voluma has been FDA-approved to treat volume-loss in the midface. The newest Juvederm to be approved is Juvederm Voluma XC, which was FDA-approved in early August of 2022 for jawline enhancement.

What are the types of Juvederm fillers?

• Juvederm Ultra XC: Juvederm Ultra XC restores lost facial volume to smooth mild to moderate nasolabial folds, smile, and marionette lines. It is also used for lip augmentation and lasts 9 to 12 months.
• Juvederm Ultra Plus XC: Juvederm Ultra Plus XC treats moderate to severe nasolabial folds, smiles, and marionette lines. It can also enhance the contour and shape of the lips. Results with Juvederm Ultra Plus can last for 9 to 12 months.
• Juvederm Voluma XC: Juvederm Voluma is the ideal product to add volume to cheeks and chin and restore lost facial volume. Voluma is designed for facial contouring, lifting the cheeks, improving facial sagging, and the appearance of jowls and facial hollows. This dermal filler can also restore lost volume and collagen from atrophic acne scars. Cosmetic results from Juvederm Voluma can last for 12 months or more.
• Juvederm Vollure: Juvederm Vollure was created to correct facial wrinkles in the nasolabial folds and marionette lines. Juvederm Vollure can last in the midface for up to 18 months.
• Juvederm Volbella: Juvederm Volbella was created to subtlely enhance the lips and treat perioral lines (lines around the mouth), fine wrinkles, and under-eye hollows (tear troughs) for under-eye rejuvenation. It can last for approximately one year.
• Juvederm Volite: Juvederm Volite is the first injectable treatment that provides clinically proven dermal hydration after just one treatment. It improves overall skin quality by improving elasticity, hydration, and fine lines. Generally, results from Juvederm Volite can last for nine months.
• Juvederm Volux: Juvederm Volux XC has been created to treat the jawline. It can treat severe loss of jawline definition, erase lower facial folds, reduce the appearance of jowls, and provide the ideal facial contour. Juvederm Volux can last for up to 12 months.

What is SkinVive by Juvederm?

SkinVive is a unique Juvederm filler that is FDA-approved for improving hydration and smoothness in the cheeks. SkinVive is formulated with hyaluronic acid microdroplets that help the skin retain natural moisture and softness. Patients report glowing, healthy, younger-looking skin for up to six months after treatment. Dr. Green recommends that patients engage in regular treatment sessions to maintain and enhance the results of SkinVive.

What is Juvederm used for?

Juvederm hyaluronic acid fillers enhance facial contours, augment facial features, replenish volume loss, reduce signs of aging, and provide a more youthful appearance. Several different areas can be addressed with other Juvederm dermal fillers, meaning you can access a more youthful appearance in areas of the face and body such as:

• Lip enhancement
• Vertical lip lines
• Corners of the mouth
• Marionette lines
• Nasolabial area
• Tear trough (under eyes)
• Chin
• Temples
• Cheeks
• Jawline
• Neck
• Acne scars
• Surgical scars

Clinical studies have not established cosmetic treatment with Juvederm hyaluronic acid fillers in anatomical areas outside their FDA-approved uses.

Which Juvederm is best for cheeks?

Juvederm Voluma was FDA-approved in 2013 for injections in the cheek and malar areas. Dr. Michele Green is one of the largest users of Juvederm Voluma in NYC and considers it the ideal dermal filler to restore lost collagen in the cheek area. Volume loss in the midface is a chief concern of many of her NYC patients, and Juvederm Voluma XC is the ideal way to replenish this lost volume and improve facial sagging. The sagging in the jowls and lower face are cosmetically enhanced by lifting the cheeks and restoring a youthful appearance, resulting in a nonsurgical facelift. Since most patients do not want to undergo invasive cosmetic surgery with a plastic surgeon, Juvederm Voluma offers an effective and elegant way to look younger without plastic surgery. Juvederm Voluma can replace other volume areas in the face besides the cheeks, including the nasolabial folds, chin, jawline, and temples. Additionally, Juvederm Voluma can treat volume and collagen loss from depressed acne scars.

Which Juvederm is best for jowls?

Juvederm Ultra Plus or Juvederm Volux can be injected around the jawline to correct sagging jowls and restore a youthful appearance. Adding volume with Juvederm fillers can improve the jawline’s shape and structure with long-lasting results. Additionally, some patients can benefit from injections of Juvederm Voluma into the cheeks, which will lift the lower face to reduce the appearance of sagging jowls. Since the neck and jawline are important areas of facial rejuvenation, many patients combine injectable fillers with fat reduction or skin tightening procedures to have a more defined jawline.

Which Juvederm is best for chin enhancement?

A critical area of facial enhancement that has been previously neglected is the chin area. In the Spring of 2020, Juvederm Voluma was FDA-approved to treat not only the cheek area but also the chin area. A weak chin can be due to several factors, including genetics, age, and gravity. As we age, the combination of collagen loss and gravity, the lower face, including the chin, jawline, and jowls, appear to sag. When injected into the chin, Juvederm Voluma can help achieve symmetry of the lower face and create a liquid chin lift that appears smooth and natural. If there is submental fat under the chin, treating with Kybella injections to dissolve unwanted fat will remove the “double chin” and improve the overall appearance of the chin and jawline.

Which Juvederm is best for under the eye area?

Many patients are troubled by dark circles and facial hollows. This combination makes one look tired and older than their age. Fortunately, under-eye hollows and dark circles can be corrected with dermal fillers injected directly into the under-eye (tear trough) area. Juvederm Volbella is designed to treat this delicate under-eye area due to its thin, flexible consistency. The best patients for dermal fillers in the tear trough area have under-eye hollows without an excessive amount of skin laxity. Patients with a large degree of excess skin or herniated fat may not be good candidates for this treatment.

What Juvederm is best for lips?

Lip augmentation has become one of the most popular cosmetic treatments in dermatology. The treatment of the lips is not just for lip enhancement but to create symmetry in uneven lips and reshape and contour the lips. Juvederm Ultra XC is excellent for providing volume and symmetry to the lips, with results that hold for up to one year. Additionally, a large part of cosmetically treating the lips is treating the visible signs of aging around the lips and the vertical lines above and below the lips. These perioral lines are referred to as “smoker’s lines,” but the lines are a result of age, smoking, and the damaging effects of the sun. Juvederm Volbella XC was specifically developed to treat these vertical lip lines. Juvederm Volbella adds subtle volume and smooths the appearance of these vertical lip lines for up to one year.

What Juvederm is best for wrinkles?

The best Juvederm product for wrinkles will depend on the area of the face they are located. Nasolabial folds, or smile lines, are one of the first areas in the face to experience volume loss. Juvederm Ultra Plus was made to smooth deep lines, creases, and the lines that extend down the mouth to the oral commissures, the marionette lines. Juvederm Vollure was also developed to restore volume in these “parentheses lines” with long-lasting, natural-looking results. Fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth, known as perioral lines, can be treated with Juvederm Volbella. Patients can turn to Juvederm Voluma for wrinkles around the cheeks for facial rejuvenation.

Can you achieve a liquid facelift with the Juvederm collection of fillers?

Yes! Juvederm dermal fillers can be combined to create a liquid facelift. Many patients prefer a liquid facelift over plastic surgery due to its ease, affordability, and lack of long recovery times and adverse side effects. As the chin, cheeks, jowls, and nasolabial folds can all develop fine lines, wrinkles, and volume loss, Dr. Green can employ multiple Juvederm fillers to offer pan-facial rejuvenation. Through the art of a liquid facelift, many of Dr. Green’s NYC patients can avoid having invasive plastic surgery.

Am I a candidate for Juvederm dermal fillers?

The best candidates for Juvederm filler treatments are patients over 21 who have good mental and physical health and want to treat volume loss and moderate wrinkles. Patients should not be pregnant or breastfeeding, as safety has not yet been established. If you have a history of severe allergic reactions, allergy to gram-positive bacterial proteins used to make hyaluronic acid, or allergy to lidocaine, you may not be suitable for Juvederm treatment. Any bleeding disorders or medications that interfere with clotting and affect bleeding should be discussed with Dr. Green before treatment.

What is the process of Juvederm injections?

The first step is consulting with board-certified dermatologist Dr. Michele Green at her private office in Manhattan’s Upper East Side neighborhood. During your consultation, Dr. Green will collect a thorough medical history, review your skincare regimen and any previous cosmetic treatments you may have had, and physically assess your skin condition. Dr. Green will select the Juvederm dermal filler best suited to your needs and goals. Photographs of the treatment areas will be taken and stored in your private medical record to enhance your discussion and track future progress. Depending on your preference and time allowance, Juvederm injections may be performed on the same day as your consultation or scheduled for a later date.

Before your Juvederm dermal filler procedure, avoid taking any blood thinners, including medications (Coumadin, Warfarin), NSAIDS (Aleve, Aspirin, Motrin), herbal supplements (St. John’s Wart), or vitamins (fish oil, vitamin E) for at least one week to minimize bruising. Dr. Green recommends patients prone to bruising take Arnika herbal supplements for several days before the procedure to prevent bruising and help heal bruises faster.

On the day of your Juvederm injections, a topical numbing cream should be applied to the entire treatment area one hour before the appointment. Once you arrive at Dr. Green’s office, the numbing cream will be removed and the skin sterilized. The Juvederm fillers used by Dr. Green are also compounded with lidocaine, a local anesthetic, to make the experience quite comfortable. Dr. Green will artfully perform the Juvederm injections in the designated treatment areas. After the injections, the treatment sites will be cleaned, and ice packs will be applied to the treated areas of the face to minimize any potential swelling. Patients may be encouraged to return to Dr. Green’s office two weeks later so that she can evaluate the results and discuss any needed touch-ups that may be required.

What is the aftercare from Juvederm injections?

After the Juvederm injections, patients should continue avoiding blood thinners such as Coumadin, Aspirin, Motrin, Ibuprofen, Aleve, and any vitamins or herbal supplements for one week to reduce the risk of bruising. Patients should also continue taking Arnica supplements for three to four days. Refraining from strenuous exercise for 24-48 hours following dermal filler injections is recommended to avoid swelling near the injection sites. For this reason, avoiding steam rooms, saunas, hot tubs, and very hot showers is also recommended. Additionally, patients should refrain from smoking, as smoking thins the skin, reduces the amount of collagen in the skin, affects the longevity of hyaluronic acid injections, and delays healing. When you have Juvederm injections with Dr. Green, you will receive all the pertinent aftercare information required to achieve and maintain ideal results.

Common side effects of Juvederm Injections

There is, in general, little downtime with Juvederm injections. The majority of patients return to work or home immediately after injection. Some of the most common side effects include:

• Bruising
• Redness
• Swelling
• Discoloration
• Tyndall effect
• Irritation
• Lumps or bumps
• Pruritus
• Tenderness

Rare but serious side effects from Juvederm treatment include allergic reactions, keloids, herpes simplex, and superficial necrosis at the treatment site. Unintentionally injecting Juvederm into a blood vessel can also lead to serious complications, including blindness. To ensure that your Juvederm is safe and effective, it is essential to consult with a board-certified dermatologist, such as expert injector Dr. Green.

Will Juvederm bumps go away?

One of the potential side effects of Juvederm injections is swelling or bumps in the treatment area. This is normal and should resolve independently within several weeks of the dermal filler injections. It would be best not to massage or apply pressure on the treatment area but to allow the Juvederm to settle naturally. Follow up with your injector if residual swelling or bumps remain in the treatment area two weeks after your filler injections. Although the appearance of hyaluronic acid bumps may be problematic initially, they can easily be dissolved with an injectable enzyme called Hyaluronidase if needed. The best way to prevent the development of persistent bumps after Juvederm injections is to consult a board-certified dermatologist and expert injector such as Dr. Green.

Is Juvederm safe?

Juvederm was FDA-approved in 2006 for treating deep facial wrinkles and facial folds and is an entirely safe and effective treatment. Adverse events with Juvederm injections are rare – as hyaluronic acid is a substance that naturally occurs in the body, the risk of severe allergic reactions is low. There have been reports of unintentional injection into blood vessels, which is a rare but serious complication. Of course, it is best only to have a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon who is an expert in cosmetic facial procedures inject Juvederm or other dermal fillers. An expert, like Dr. Michele Green, has been injecting dermal fillers for over 25 years, understands your anatomy, and can safely treat you with these injectables.

Does Juvederm hurt?

No, Juvederm injections do not hurt. To minimize discomfort, a topical numbing cream will be applied to the treatment area one hour before your procedure. Additionally, Juvederm products are compounded with lidocaine as a numbing agent, and most patients are entirely comfortable during the procedure.

Does Juvederm work immediately?

Yes! The results of Juvederm injections can be visible on the same day as treatment, as hyaluronic acid-based fillers produce immediate results. There may be some immediate swelling at the injection site. Depending on which type of Juvederm filler was used, mild swelling may last between two days to two weeks. Some patients are more sensitive to this side effect and swell for extended periods. It is best to plan your cosmetic dermal filler injections at a time that allows possible swelling or bruising and a few days of potential downtime.

How long does it take Juvederm to settle?

Juvederm dermal fillers typically take 1 to 2 weeks to settle. With filler treatments such as Juvederm, there can be some minor swelling and bruising. However, results can be seen almost immediately. After two weeks, all swelling should be resolved, and the full cosmetic results of the treatment will be apparent. In addition to the swelling, some patients may experience mild side effects of redness, bruising, or tenderness at or near injection sites. Dr. Green may ask you to return to her NYC office two weeks after your dermal filler injections to evaluate the final results of your treatment and determine whether any touch-up is needed.

How long does Juvederm last?

A common question asked is how long do dermal fillers last. The longevity of a Juvederm dermal filler depends on which type of dermal filler was used, the speed of the patient’s metabolism, and which anatomic area of the face or body was injected. For instance, Juvederm Ultra and Juvederm Ultra Plus have been shown to last 9 to 12 months, while Juvederm Vollure can last up to 18 months. Dr. Green recommends that patients engage in annual or biannual treatment sessions to maintain and enhance the results of treatment with Juvederm.

How long does Juvederm last in the lips?

The two members of the Juvederm collection that are best suited for lip augmentation are Juvederm Volbella and Juvederm Ultra XC. Juvederm Ultra XC is best to add fullness to thin lips for a plump, hydrated look to the lips. Juvederm Volbella is also used to plump the lips and fill in the lines around the lips for a more youthful appearance. Juvederm Volbella and Juvederm Ultra XC last up to one year in the lips or the area surrounding the lips. The lip enhancement treatment can be repeated annually for continued results. When you have your initial consultation with Dr. Green, she will determine the filler and treatment plan that best suits your unique needs.

How much does Juvederm cost?

The cost of Juvederm injections in Manhattan depends on the number of syringes used, the type of Juvederm injected, the geographic location, and the injector’s experience. Juvederm cost typically ranges between $1,000 and $1500 per syringe. While a board-certified dermatologist in NYC will be more expensive than a nurse injector at a spa or clinic, it is always recommended to see a board-certified dermatologist to avoid any adverse side effects or complications. When you consult with Dr. Green, she will ensure that your Juvederm treatment is safe and effective for natural-looking, rejuvenated results.

How much Juvederm do I need?

The amount of filler necessary depends on several factors, including the treatment area, the severity of wrinkles, fine lines, or volume loss, and each patient’s aesthetic goals. For a complete liquid facelift, patients can expect anywhere between 4 and 10 syringes of Juvederm, depending on the areas of the face that will be addressed and the depth of fine lines and wrinkles. During your initial consultation with Dr. Green, she will be able to provide you with a more precise estimate of the number of syringes necessary to meet your needs and aesthetic goals. Dr. Green takes a conservative approach to injective dermal fillers, ensuring that your Juvederm treatment leaves you with natural-looking results. Dr. Green welcomes patients to the office two weeks after their Juvederm injection procedure to assess if more filler is needed.

Does Juvederm migrate?

Juvederm will most likely migrate when an inexperienced or unqualified injector performs the treatment. Providing optimal rejuvenation results with cosmetic injectables requires thorough knowledge regarding the various dermal fillers and their unique properties. Selecting an inappropriate formula for a particular area of the face or using a poor injection technique can result in unwanted cosmetic results or migration of the dermal filler. The best way to avoid filler migration is to consult an experienced and knowledgeable injector for your dermal fillers, such as board-certified dermatologist Dr. Michele Green. Dr. Green has over 25 years of experience.

Can you dissolve Juvederm?

Yes, if you are unhappy with your treatment results, Hyaluronidase can be used to dissolve the Juvederm product. Hyaluronidase, also known as Vitrase or Hyelenex, is an injectable enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid, reversing the effects of filler injections. For thicker products with increased cross-links, such as Juvederm Voluma, it can take more than one treatment with Hyaluronidase to dissolve. Patients may choose to dissolve filler because it has migrated from the treatment area or due to other undesired cosmetic results. Filler migration is most likely to occur due to improper injection techniques or the use of the wrong dermal filler for a designated treatment area. This is why dermal filler injections must be done with an experienced injector, such as board-certified dermatologist Dr. Green in NYC, to eliminate the need to dissolve Juvederm filler after treatment.

Can I combine Juvederm with other cosmetic procedures?

Absolutely! Many non-invasive cosmetic procedures work with Juvederm dermal fillers to create pan-facial rejuvenation. Patients frustrated with dynamic wrinkles can turn to Botox injections, which complement Juvederm and work on different areas of the face. Botox Cosmetic is an injectable neurotoxin made by Allergan, which created Juvederm. Botox treats dynamic wrinkles that are formed due to muscle contractions and repetitive facial movements. Botox inhibits nerve signaling when injected into targeted muscles, causing temporary muscle paralysis and limited muscle contractions. Botox was the first neuromodulator to be FDA-approved for correcting forehead lines, glabellar lines (frown lines), and crow’s feet (around the eyes). Dr. Green also injects Botox into the neck cords and performs a “Nefertiti lift” to improve this area and treat the neck wrinkles. Repeated Botox treatments can smooth fine lines and wrinkles for a youthful appearance. Botox lasts for three to four months before another session is needed.

Patients looking to treat skin laxity can benefit from Thermage, the gold-standard laser treatment for skin tightening. Thermage utilizes radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production and create firm, smooth skin. Thermage can produce long-lasting results in as little as one treatment. The Fraxel laser is another popular treatment often combined with Juvederm injections in Dr. Green’s office. Fraxel employs two different wavelength settings to treat sun damage, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars and improve skin texture and tone. For optimal results, multiple Fraxel sessions spaced one month apart are required.

Dr. Green will utilize Kybella injections or CoolSculpting for patients with submental fat underneath the chin. These two procedures are excellent for eliminating stubborn, unwanted fat with permanent results, so long as the patient does not gain any excess weight following treatment. When you consult with Dr. Green in her private Upper East Side dermatology office, she will assess your skin concerns to customize a treatment plan consisting of the specific Juvederm filler and other cosmetic procedures to help you achieve your aesthetic goals. The correct procedure order and spacing between appointments will be planned for the best cosmetic results.

Is Juvederm hyaluronic acid?

Juvederm is a hyaluronic acid filler, meaning that hyaluronic acid is the key ingredient. Hyaluronic acid naturally occurs in the body, primarily in the joints and skin. When injected into the treatment area, hyaluronic acid fillers, such as Juvederm, help to boost collagen production and attract moisture to the treatment area, hydrating the skin. The results from Juvederm are some of the longest-lasting fillers available because even after the body absorbs the hyaluronic acid, collagen production triggered by the filler continues, promoting smoother, more youthful skin.

Which is better Juvederm or Restylane?

Juvederm and Restylane are dermal fillers composed of hyaluronic acid and can be injected in similar areas of the face. Several types of Juvederm and Restylane fillers are within the injectable umbrella, varying in thickness and longevity. Juvederm lasts a few months longer than Restylane, with similar safety profiles and side effects. Both types of dermal fillers are also compounded with lidocaine to make these injections more comfortable. While some patients and cosmetic dermatologists may prefer one, Juvederm and Restylane offer incredible facial rejuvenation results. Choosing the “best” filler depends on a patient’s facial anatomy, the type of wrinkles that need treatment, and the “look” someone wants. Dr. Green often uses a combination of products, including Juvederm and Restylane, in a patient’s treatment plan. Dr. Green will select the type of filler recommended for your facial rejuvenation based on your facial anatomy and personal aesthetic goals.

Is Juvederm the same as Botox?

No, while Juvederm and Botox treat facial wrinkles, they are different. Juvederm is a hyaluronic acid-based filler that restores skin volume and smooths out facial wrinkles and lines. Botox is a neurotoxin that treats facial wrinkles caused by repeated facial expressions and muscle contractions, including forehead wrinkles, glabella wrinkles, and wrinkles around the eyes (Crow’s feet). While Juvederm and Botox function differently in the body, both injectables work to smooth out wrinkles to create a more youthful appearance. Juvederm and Botox are often used in the same appointment for total facial rejuvenation.

Where can I buy Juvederm?

While you cannot buy Juvederm over the counter or online, many clinics, MedSpas, and dermatology offices offer Juvederm injections. Researching the experience and credentials of the person injecting your cosmetic fillers is essential for ensuring a safe and effective treatment. Clinics and spas generally do not have physicians performing these cosmetic procedures. While they are generally cheaper, the injector may need to be more experienced and understand the anatomy of the area injected. Also, there is a greater risk of counterfeit injectables at some clinics. For the best cosmetic results and safety, always research and ensure an expert is treating you. Dr. Michele Green is an artist with over 25 years of experience with cosmetic injectables. Dr. Green was one of the first dermatologists in Manhattan’s Upper East Side to inject Juvederm for cosmetic indications and has treated thousands of cosmetic patients. Dr. Green’s “less is more” philosophy creates a natural look for your cosmetic injections, leaving you refreshed with a younger-looking appearance.

What is Juvederm best used for?

Juvederm dermal fillers are best used to treat volume loss, reduce signs of aging, and enhance contouring and facial features to create a youthful, rejuvenated appearance. Some patients may use Juvederm to reduce acne scars or depressed stretch marks. Juvederm hyaluronic acid filler can also stimulate new collagen in the treatment sites. Collagen is an essential skin protein that provides structural support and elasticity to the skin. By stimulating new collagen production, Juvederm can provide long-lasting rejuvenation results.

Which Juvederm is best for lips?

Full, luscious lips are popular with celebrities like the Kardashians, models, and actresses alike. As we age, we tend to lose collagen in our faces, and the result is that even our lips tend to lose volume, grow thin, and lose their natural moisture and shine. Juvederm Ultra XC and Juvederm Volbella XC are specifically formulated to temporarily add volume to the lips, provide symmetry, and enhance the contour of the lips. Juvederm Volbella can also treat perioral lines, or lines around the mouth that develop due to aging and repetitive movements. The best Juvederm product for the lips will ultimately depend on the patient’s facial anatomy, type of wrinkles, and aesthetic goals. It depends on a patient’s facial anatomy, the type of wrinkles that need treatment, and the “look” someone wants. Dr. Green’s “less is more” approach to dermal fillers is the key to having the most beautiful lips. During your consultation, Dr. Green will select the best dermal fillers and shapes that reflect your style and facial features. Her conservative approach to facial injections produces both natural and stunning cosmetic results.

How long do Juvederm lip injections last?

Lip augmentation with Juvederm fillers typically produces cosmetic results that last up to 12 months. The duration of individual results can vary depending on the filler used and the patient’s metabolism. Most patients have lip filler maintenance treatments every 6-12 months to maintain the best effects.

How long does Juvederm last in the cheeks?

Juvederm typically lasts up to 18 months in the cheeks. The exact duration of results can vary depending on the patient’s metabolism and the amount of dermal filler used. Most patients have Juvederm injections once a year to maintain the best cosmetic results. When you have Juvederm dermal fillers with Dr. Green at her private dermatology office in Manhattan’s Upper East Side neighborhood, she’ll work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan and timeline that best suits your needs and goals.

Are Juvederm fillers worth it?

Absolutely! With an array of fillers, Juvederm dermal fillers can treat all areas of the face, both for fine and deep lines, and restore volume to any needed area. Many patients prefer having Juvederm injections for rejuvenation over invasive plastic surgery procedures, which can require significant downtime and be associated with many potential side effects. In contrast, Juvederm produces consistently stunning revitalization results with zero downtime and few possible side effects. When you consult with board-certified dermatologist Dr. Michele Green at her private office in NYC, she will work with you to determine whether you are a good candidate for Juvederm injections. When you have a consultation, Dr. Green will collect a thorough medical history, review any previous cosmetic treatments you may have had, and physically assess the treatment area to select the dermal filler products best suited to your particular skin concerns and unique aesthetic goals.
