Check out Juvéderm dermal fillers! Juvéderm is one of the most well-known brands in the cosmetic industry and Dr. Basile offers years of experience in aesthetic treatments such as dermal fillers. During a consultation, he can help you explore your many options with Juvéderm at our Jacksonville Beach medspa.

About Juvéderm

Juvéderm is a dermal filler that uses a hyaluronic acid-based gel to add volume to your lips or skin. This filler can target lines and wrinkles around your mouth, nasolabial folds, furrow lines between your brows, and depressed scars. FDA-approved Juvéderm injections are injected underneath the skin into the facial tissue to plump up age-related volume loss and provide a more even, smooth skin texture.

As for your lips, this aesthetic solution can provide a non-surgical lip augmentation for fuller lips. Juvéderm is a family of fillers that offers a variety of products like Juvéderm Ultra XC, Voluma XC, and Volbella XC – each designed for different areas of the face.

Am I a Good Candidate?

Hyaluronic acid fillers are beneficial for many patients because they are a natural, biocompatible substance and there is little risk of an allergic reaction. If you have severe facial wrinkles or areas of your face where you wish to add natural-looking volume (like the cheeks, lips, or jawline), Juvéderm may be right for you. You must also be in good health and a non-smoker.

If you have an active skin infection, a history of pigmentation disorders, or excessive scarring at the treatment site, we may recommend another procedure or ask you to wait for your skin injection procedures. If you hope to treat significant loose skin, surgical procedures like a facelift may benefit you more. Dr. Basile may also recommend additional non-surgical and aesthetic treatments to enhance the results of your Juvéderm treatment at our medspa.

How are Juvéderm Injections Performed?

Your Juvéderm treatment will vary based on the depth of scarring or imperfections, and the number of areas that need to be treated. To minimize pain, Dr. Basile will first apply a lidocaine gel to numb the area. Some patients report minor stinging when first injected, but it is a nearly painless process. Once the injection of hyaluronic acid is introduced, it will attract water molecules and plump up the skin to even out your unwanted wrinkles. You can return to your daily schedule after your injection session.

Results and Recovery

After your Juvéderm session, results can be seen immediately! Mild swelling, bruising, and tenderness around the injection site are common – but these symptoms will improve within a few days. Depending on a variety of factors, Juvéderm can last anywhere from 9-12 months. Between 1-2 weeks after your injections, your swelling and bruising will subside.
