How is Juvederm different from Botox?
Juvederm is a hyaluronic acid-based filler designed to add volume by “filling in” fine lines. Hyaluronic acid, or HA, is a natural substance already in our bodies meant to maintain the skin’s hydration. In comparison, Botox is a botulinum toxin, or neurotoxin, that relaxes facial muscles to mitigate wrinkles.

How does Juvederm work?
Juvederm is a “dermal filler” made of a concentration of hyaluronic acid. It adds volume by plumping up the skin and smoothing out wrinkles. For instance, fine lines around the cheeks and lips benefit from this treatment. It’s also used to disappear smile lines. The product inspires the body’s natural collagen production, helping to boost the amount of time the effect lasts.

How long before I see results?
Noticeable results are immediate. Our clients see the plumper skin right away. Of course, it normally takes around two weeks to witness the final results, as the treatment needs to “settle.” The result is normally a very natural-looking appearance.

Will it take any downtime?
No, you can go about your day with a few modifications. For instance, step back from that strenuous exercise routine and avoid alcohol for at least two days (yes, including wine).

How long does a Juvederm treatment last?
One treatment can last from six to twenty-four months. Results can vary by individual because the product is gradually absorbed by the body over time.

We Love Dermal Fillers and Here’s Why!

People might also wonder why dermal fillers are so popular. There are so many reasons! As listed above, people love the instant results. Theu also like the longevity of the treatment which can last up to a year. In addition, there is minimal swelling or bruising, so our clients can get right back into their social schedule.

Also, some of our clients who notice the evolving signs of aging are not ready for a facelift. They want a more affordable option to treat those fine lines and sagging skin. Dermal fillers give them more time to consider whether they want to “go under the knife.” And as a bonus, a Juvederm treatment can be used for the entire face: forehead, eyes, and lips. It’s almost like experiencing a temporary mini-facelift at an affordable cost!

Juvederm restores the skin’s vibrancy with added hydration too, leaving a dewy glow that makeup artists strive to achieve.
