Juvéderm® Collection of Fillers
Wrinkles and sagging skin begin to develop when the structural elements of the dermis start to break down. Collagen, elastin fibers, and hyaluronic acid give skin its structure and suppleness. Hyaluronic acid acts as a network onto which collagen and elastin fibers bind. Without this essential acid wrinkles, jowls, and volume loss occurs. Replenishing skin with hyaluronic acid is therefore an obvious way to get rid of wrinkles, folds, sagging and volume loss. Juvederm is hyaluronic acid.
How It Works
Hyaluronic acid works as a hydrating agent addition to functioning as a binder for collagen and elastin. It is injected into needed areas with a small, fine needle. Because hyaluronic acid is combined with an anesthetic, the treatment is close to pain-free. Juvederm injections are in-office procedures that take 15 to 20 minutes and produce immediate results.
Are There Side Effects?
Side effects from Juvederm are mild and usually include injection site bruising. We emphasize the importance of taking Arnica pills starting three days prior to treatment, and to continue with the pills until bruising disappears. Aspirin and nonsteroidal, anti-inflammatory treatments such as Advil and Aleve should be avoided 10 days before treatment to minimize bruising. Any patients with cardiac disease must talk to their cardiologist before discontinuing or changing medications.
Other potential, if rare, side effects include swelling, nodule formation, and bluish skin tint. Swelling and bruising usually disappear after a few days, while other side effects are easily corrected by your physician. We encourage patients to call or come in to correct side effects.

Is Botox a facial filler?
Facial fillers fill in facial areas that have lost their smoothness and volume. Sometimes cheeks lose their plumpness or lips can look thin which are perfect for facial fillers. Wrinkles around the mouth along with forehead wrinkles can be treated with fillers to give a smoother look.
Botox will freeze muscles which stops wrinkles when making facial expressions and typically on the forehead and around the eyes. Botox can last for 3 to 4 months while fillers vary depending on which fillers are used.
It is common to use fillers and Botox together. For example we might use fillers around the mouth and Botox for the eyes and forehead area.
