Patients wonder what to expect from their Juvéderm results

Aging is a natural part of life. Looking your age does not have to be unavoidable. Patients who want to turn back the hands of time or to slow the aging process often begin with dermal fillers. Injectable fillers effectively improve facial volume to produce a younger, refreshed appearance. Located in Montclair, NJ, Dr. Jeanine Downie of image Dermatology ® P.C. offers several fillers including Juvéderm to produce long-lasting youthful results.

Uses for Juvéderm

Injectable fillers have different compositions and capacities. Juvéderm is a hyaluronic acid filler, making it smooth and malleable. Hyaluronic acid exists naturally in the body, bringing moisture and volume to the skin.

Patients want to maintain their youth for as long as they can. Juvéderm is an alternative to surgery. Juvéderm can be used to treat the following concerns:

• Deep lines or creases such as the parentheses around the mouth
• Facial hollows found in the cheeks
• Thin lips

Patient expectations

During your appointment, Dr. Downie will assess your needs. Be open and honest about your medical history, experience with fillers, and your expectations from the treatment. This helps determine how much Juvéderm to use and where to inject the product. The Juvéderm is injected just beneath the skin and is easily tolerated by patients. The results are noticeable as the product instantly fills in the unwanted creases and adds volume to the face.

Immediate, effective results

With Juvéderm, the results are immediate. Patients leave the office looking rejuvenated with restored facial volume. Downtime is not required following these injections. Any side effects that occur are minimal and may include swelling, discomfort, or tenderness at the injection sites. Ice packs may help with any discomfort you experience. After your treatment, avoid strenuous activity or massaging the treatment site to ensure proper placement of the filler without it migrating. Juvéderm results typically last between 6 to 12 months or longer, depending upon the type used.

Get rid of your lines and wrinkles, and smooth your skin with Juvéderm. Contact our office to schedule your appointment with Dr. Downie. (973) 509-6900
