JUVÉDERM®

JUVÉDERM® Injectable Gel Fillers in West Palm Beach, Florida

Ready to refresh your appearance by smoothing wrinkles, sculpting enhanced facial features and restoring the youthful volume lost to aging? JUVÉDERM® sugar-based FDA approved injectables can address age-related volume loss by adding volume, plumping the lips, and reducing the appearance of facial wrinkles and folds. In addition, these injectable gels have a consistent safety record and do not require allergy testing.

With a JUVÉDERM® hyaluronic acid dermal filler, you can reduce laugh lines, achieve cheek augmentation, enhance the fullness and contour of your lips, cheeks, and under-eye hollows, and minimize nasolabial folds and nasal irregularities. Because JUVÉDERM® injectable gels are temporary, they further complement facial surgeries — although they will not replace them.

At Palm Beach Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery in West Palm Beach, Florida, we offer the JUVÉDERM® collection of fillers — administered by experienced professionals — to help you achieve your aesthetic goals with confidence and professionalism. Your optimal treatment with a JUVÉDERM® hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal filler takes place in our West Palm Beach office after a consultation with our patient counselor to discuss your unique needs and goals and determine the best JUVÉDERM® injectable gel for you.

How Does the JUVÉDERM® Collection of Fillers Work?

JUVÉDERM® injectable gel fillers contain hyaluronic acid. This naturally occurring substance in the body smooths facial wrinkles, enhances lips, and adds volume to the face. Here’s how a JUVEDÉRM® HA dermal filler works:

• Hyaluronic Acid: The hyaluronic acid in JUVEDÉRM® helps maintain hydration and volume. When injected into the skin, JUVEDÉRM® replenishes lost volume, smooths wrinkles and folds, and enhances facial contours.
• Cross-Linking Technology: JUVEDÉRM® employs a proprietary cross-linking technology called VYCROSS™, which creates a smooth gel consistency for easy injection and natural-looking results. This technology allows for longer-lasting effects compared to some other dermal fillers.
• Results: JUVEDÉRM® provides immediate results, with continued improvement over the following days as any swelling subsides. Results from this HA dermal filler typically last between nine to 12 months, depending on the specific product used and individual factors.
• Safety: JUVEDÉRM® is FDA-approved and considered safe when administered by a properly-licensed practitioner. Common side effects are mild and temporary, including redness, swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the injection site.
• Customized Treatments: The JUVEDÉRM® collection of fillers includes various products tailored to different treatment areas and concerns. For example, JUVEDÉRM® XC targets moderate-to-severe facial wrinkles and folds, JUVEDÉRM® VOLUMA® XC works for cheek augmentation, and JUVEDÉRM VOLBELLA® achieves lip augmentation.

What Can I Accomplish with a JUVÉDERM Injectable Gel Treatment?

Who Is a Good Candidate for JUVÉDERM Dermal Fillers?

Ideal candidates for JUVÉDERM® want to address facial lines, wrinkles, and volume loss, and they meet the following requirements:

• Enjoy generally good health
• Do not have skin sores, a skin injury, or other breakouts in the area to be treated
• Are not pregnant or nursing
• Do not have a history of multiple severe allergies

Patients on therapy used to lower their bodies’ natural defense system, such as steroids, chemotherapy, and medicines to treat autoimmune diseases should inform Dr. Barr and our staff, because these can increase the risk of infection. Tell us if you take medication that can prolong bleeding, such as ibuprofen, aspirin, or other blood thinners.

Are JUVÉDERM Skin Injection Procedures Safe?

The main ingredient in JUVÉDERM® products is hyaluronic acid, a naturally-occurring compound present in youthful complexions. Because hyaluronic acid exists in human skin, there is minimal risk of experiencing an allergic reaction after a JUVÉDERM® treatment. If you have had previous allergic reactions to hyaluronic acid fillers, discuss them with our patient counselor during a consultation. Dermal fillers should be administered by a properly licensed practitioner with a focus on balance, precision, and detail. At Palm Beach Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery, we inject dermal fillers in a way that maximizes your safety and produces naturally beautiful results.

Types of JUVÉDERM Skin Injection Procedures Offered at Palm Beach Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery

JUVÉDERM® VOLLURE® XC

Over time, wrinkles develop on your face, and nasolabial folds may become more visible. JUVÉDERM® VOLLURE XC works to instantly smooth moderate to severe facial wrinkles around your nose and mouth for up to one year with optimal treatment.

We inject the JUVÉDERM® VOLLURE® XC dermal filler into the areas of facial tissue where moderate-to-severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as the parentheses lines or “smile/laugh lines” around the nose and mouth (nasolabial folds) and deep lines that extend from the corners of the mouth to the chin (marionette lines) occur.

The lidocaine in the VOLLURE® XC injectable gel improves the comfort of the injection by reducing sensitivity to pain. For adults over the age of 21, JUVÉDERM® VOLLURE® XC temporarily corrects facial wrinkles for a smoother appearance.

The most common side effects of the VOLLURE® XC injectable gel include firmness, swelling, tenderness to touch, lumps/bumps, redness, pain, bruising, itching, and discoloration at the injection site. These side effects are usually mild or moderate in nature (causing a small amount of discomfort and impact on daily activities), lasting 14 days or less in actual treatment cases.

JUVÉDERM® XC TREATMENT AREAS

• Parentheses (Smile) Lines
• Corner Lines
• Marionette Lines
• Vertical Lip Line

JUVÉDERM® VOLUMA® XC

As you age, the cheeks may flatten and the skin may begin to sag, causing the area to lose its youthful shape. Experts call this age-related midface volume loss. Enter JUVÉDERM® VOLUMA® XC, a thick-consistency hyaluronic acid gel designed for deep injection volume restoration in order to temporarily reverse these signs of aging.

We administer this JUVÉDERM® injectable gel into the cheek area to lift the skin, where it temporarily adds volume and provides the face with a smoother contour and more youthful appearance. JUVÉDERM® VOLUMA® XC has a thicker consistency that delivers long-lasting volume to lift the midface to a more youthful position. With optimal treatment, JUVÉDERM® VOLUMA® XC’s natural-looking results last up to two years.

The most commonly-reported side effects of the JUVÉDERM® VOLUMA® XC injectable gel include temporary reactions at the treatment site such as tenderness, swelling, firmness, lumps/bumps, bruising, pain, redness, discoloration, and itching. Side effects reported in actual treatment cases were moderate (uncomfortable), and generally lasted two to four weeks. As with all facial injections, there is a risk of infection.

JUVÉDERM® VOLBELLA® XC

What if you could experience facial rejuvenation without missing a day in your busy life? JUVÉDERM® VOLBELLA® XC is a popular dermal filler that thousands of men and women affirm as their preferred treatment for a more youthful appearance.

JUVÉDERM® VOLBELLA® XC injectable gel is for injection into the lips for lip augmentation and the correction of perioral lines — lines around the mouth that are often called lipstick lines, vertical lip lines, or lip wrinkles, and are common in adults over the age of 21.

VOLBELLA® XC provides a softer, more natural appearance by:

• Adding fullness to the lips
• Filling in pitted acne scars
• Diminishing under-eye hollows
• Visibly smoothing out wrinkles
• Plumping nasolabial folds that run from the edge of the nose to the corners of the mouth, which deepen with age

JUVÉDERM® VOLUX® XC for Jawline Definition

The first and only FDA-approved hyaluronic acid filler for patients with moderate-to-severe loss of jawline definition, this robust filler and structural gel provides long-lasting results. At Palm Beach Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery, we use JUVÉDERM® VOLUX® XC to contour the chin and jawline in men and women with age-related midface volume loss.

The primary aesthetic concern shared by patients seeking a solution through this treatment is sagging skin along the jawline that creates jowls. Many notice an overall downturned appearance to their lower face, especially around the mouth, creating an upside-down triangle look.

The JUVÉDERM® VOLUX® XC injectable gel aids in restoring a younger-looking jawline and chin contour to your face. JUVÉDERM® VOLUX® XC is a structural filler that can correct age-related issues such as:

• Sagging skin along the jawline
• Downturned corners of the mouth
• Loss of chin projection
• Marionette lines (lines that run from the corners of the mouth to the chin)
• Nasolabial folds (smile lines)

With optimal treatment, results can last up to two years. The most common side effects include temporary reactions at the treatment site such as tenderness, swelling, firmness, lumps/bumps, bruising, pain, redness, discoloration, and itching. Side effects in treatment cases may be moderate (discomfortable), and may generally last two to four weeks.

What to Expect During a JUVÉDERM® Injectable Gel Treatment

During a JUVÉDERM® treatment at Palm Beach Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery, our expert practitioners will apply a topical numbing cream before carefully injecting the HA filler into targeted areas to achieve your desired results. The procedure is relatively quick, and you can resume your daily activities immediately after.

What are the Most Common Side Effects of JUVÉDERM®?

While considered safe, JUVEDÉRM® hyaluronic acid fillers have some common side effects consistent with other facial injection procedures, including redness, swelling, tenderness, or bruising at the injection site. These dermal filler side effects tend to be mild, and often subside shortly after the treatment.

In rare cases, some patients may experience more severe side effects such as infection, scarring, or allergic reactions. If you experience any of these symptoms, tell your health care practitioner immediately. Disclosing any allergies or medical conditions during your consultation with our patient counselor is crucial before undergoing any skin injection procedures.

How Long Do Results from a JUVÉDERM® Hyaluronic Acid Filler Last?

The duration of results from a JUVEDÉRM® HA dermal filler can vary, depending on the type of filler and the individual’s metabolism. On average, results can last up to 12-24 months, but touch-up treatments can help maintain and prolong results. Our team at Palm Beach Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan that fits your aesthetic goals.

Preparing for JUVÉDERM® Hyaluronic Acid Fillers

During a consultation with our patient counselor, we will discuss your medical history, areas of concern, and goals to determine which JUVÉDERM® hyaluronic acid dermal filler suits you best. At this time, you should disclose any allergies or medical conditions.

To prepare for your JUVÉDERM® treatment, avoid blood-thinning medications, herbal supplements, and alcohol consumption prior to your appointment.

How Much Does the JUVÉDERM® Collection of Fillers Cost?

The cost of a JUVÉDERM® hyaluronic acid treatment varies from patient to patient based on individual needs and treatment areas.
