The best candidates for JUVÉDERM injectable wrinkle fillers are men or women who have facial wrinkles and lines they want to treat. It may also help if you have naturally thin or age-related volume loss in your lips and/or cheeks. At JEM Medspa, JUVÉDERM wrinkle filler treatments are ideal if you would like to improve your complexion while avoiding the recovery time and expense of a surgical procedure, such as facelifts, eyelid lifts, brow lifts, or lip implants. To create the best treatment plan, we will assess your skin and determine if JUVÉDERM works best for you.

Based on the areas we are treating, JUVÉDERM treatments generally take about 15 – 30 minutes to administer. At the beginning of your appointment, we will clean your skin, then select and mark the injection sites. To decrease discomfort throughout the treatment, JUVÉDERM formulas contain a local anesthetic (lidocaine). After your treatment, you can go back to your daily routine, but you should avoid strenuous activity, such as exercise, for at least 24 hours. Additionally, you should avoid touching your face after JUVÉDERM injections because you might move the gel into unwanted areas.

Usually, you see noticeable improvements immediately after your JUVÉDERM injection. For approximately 7 – 10 days, you may also experience slight swelling or bruising near the injection sites. The results of JUVÉDERM treatments usually last for up to a year. However, after a few years of injections, many patients notice that their results last longer. To sustain your results, please talk with us about when to schedule a follow-up treatment at JEM Medspa. During your consultation, we will determine if this treatment works best for you and when to schedule your next appointment.

How much does JUVÉDERM cost?
The price of JUVÉDERM will vary depending on the amount of filler that is needed to achieve your cosmetic goals. Before your injection treatment, a personalized treatment plan will be created to match your aesthetic goals. After this, your injector will discuss cost estimates and payment options.

Are JUVÉDERM injections painful?
Though most patients don't think it's needed, a numbing cream can be massaged into the treatment area prior to injection if you're concerned about discomfort. Following the injection, you might experience mild to moderate bruising and swelling. These effects should reduce over the next week depending on the treatment area. Please contact our office if you experience any lasting pain or signs of an infection after your injection.

What is the difference between a wrinkle filler and a relaxer?
Both fillers and relaxers correct wrinkles but in different ways. Wrinkle relaxers, such as BOTOX®, treat dynamic wrinkles created by chronic muscle contractions. An injectable wrinkle filler, like JUVÉDERM, improves static wrinkles by increasing volume. JUVÉDERM is great for improving mild to moderate wrinkles or reversing volume loss in your lips and cheeks.

What results can I expect?
It may take a few days to view the complete results of your injections. Usually, it only takes one treatment appointment to reach your aesthetic goal. However, you may schedule a follow-up appointment if you want to add more volume or see more improvement.

How long do results typically last?
Your results from a JUVÉDERM treatment can last from 1 – 2 years. This will vary depending on which formula is used and where it was injected. The length of your results can also be faster or slower, depending on the speed at which your body breaks down the filler.

What kind of post-treatment care is required after JUVÉDERM?
Post-treatment care includes avoiding strenuous exercise, excessive sun exposure, and touching the treated area for 24 hours. Follow specific aftercare instructions provided by our team at JEM Medspa for optimal results.
