If
you're interested in being treated with this nonsurgical
physician-administered treatment option, you should know the advantages
of choosing Juvéderm™ injectable gel:
- A "next-generation" filler: Juvéderm™ is a "next-generation" non-animal dermal filler that is made from hyaluronic acid—a
naturally occurring substance that plays a vital role in hydrating your
skin and replenishing its natural volume. No allergy skin tests are
needed prior to receiving treatment.
- Advanced
technology for long-lasting results: JuvÈderm's advanced manufacturing
process creates a smooth consistency gel that flows consistently and
easily into the skin and provides a smooth, natural look and feel.
Juvéderm™ is the only filler available with this smooth consistency gel
formulation—other existing hyaluronic acid fillers are made of granular
consistency gels.
What to Expect During Treatment
Because
Juvéderm™ injectable gel is a simple, nonsurgical treatment, there is
minimal recovery or downtime. So you can make an appointment to stop by
one of LaserVue's four San Francisco Bay area offices for treatment on
the way home from work or the gym, or even while the kids are at soccer
practice—and get right back to your life.
The procedure:
Dr. Singh, LaserVue's facial rejuvenation expert, will ease the
Juvéderm™ injectable gel under your skin to augment, or fill, wrinkles
and folds. Following the injection, Dr. Singh may gently massage the
treated areas. The procedure is quick and easy. The injection itself
usually takes only about 15 minutes.
After the procedure:
With Juvéderm™ there is minimal recovery or downtime. For the first 24
hours following treatment, you should avoid strenuous exercise,
excessive sun or heat exposure, and consumption of alcoholic beverages
in order to help minimize the risks of temporary redness, swelling,
and/or itching at the treatment sites. After the treatment, some
temporary injection-related reactions may occur, including redness,
pain, firmness, swelling, and bumps. Studies have shown that these are
usually mild to moderate in nature and clear up on their own in 7 days
or less. If you experience swelling at the injection site, you can
apply an ice pack for a brief period.
Seeing results:
You should see an immediate improvement in the treatment areas. Most
patients need one treatment to achieve optimal wrinkle smoothing, and
the results last up to 6 months or more. However, results may vary and
correction is temporary. Supplemental "touch up" treatments may be
required to achieve and maintain optimal results.
