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.

What is 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 smile 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.
Types of Juvéderm Fillers
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 Voluma XC, Juvéderm Vollure XC, and Juvéderm Volbella XC, and Juvéderm Ultra XC injectable gel – each designed for different areas of the face.
What Our Patients Say
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 permanent scarring at the treatment site, we may recommend another procedure or ask you to wait for your skin injection procedures. This is also the case for patients currently prescribed medications that may weaken the body’s natural defense system. 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.
Before Your Juvéderm Procedure
Prior to your Juvéderm treatment, Dr. Basile will review your medical history to ensure you are a good candidate for hyaluronic acid fillers. Be sure to disclose any previous allergic reactions, multiple severe allergies, or if you are undergoing therapies to treat autoimmune diseases, since certain conditions may increase risks of severe allergic reactions. Patients who currently experience skin injury, skin sores, or active infections at the treatment site will need to wait until these issues resolve before scheduling facial injection procedures.
You should also let Dr. Basile know if you take other blood thinners, as these can increase the likelihood of bruising at the injection site. To prepare, we may recommend minimizing strenuous exercise, alcohol, or extensive sun exposure 24 hours before your appointment to help reduce swelling and temporary redness after your injectable gel treatment.
How To Choose The Right Filler
If you’re looking at your options for dermal fillers, it can seem a little overwhelming when trying to determine which one is right for you. That’s because there are many different brands and filler families available, and each comes with its own benefits. The best way to learn more about the right filler for your
Your Juvéderm Injection Procedure
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.
After Your Juvéderm Procedure
Following your facial injections, it’s normal to experience mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness in the treated area. These side effects are temporary and typically resolve within a few days. Some patients notice slight firmness or unevenness at the injection site of Juvéderm, but this will soften as the specifically designed gel properties integrate into the facial tissue.
You should avoid strenuous exercise, facial hair growth treatments, laser treatments, or a chemical peel in the days immediately following your procedure, as these can make skin problems worse. We also recommend avoiding direct heat and extensive sun exposure until swelling subsides.
What to Expect After Juvéderm Dermal Fillers
One of the best benefits of Juvéderm dermal fillers is that results are visible immediately. Whether you’re seeking lip augmentation, cheek augmentation, chin augmentation, or improved jawline definition, you’ll notice smoother skin and restored facial contours right after your appointment.
Depending on the product used, results can last 9–12 months or longer. Over time, the modified form of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body, helps restore hydration and subtle plumpness to the facial wrinkles and folds. While results vary, many of our actual patients find that a Juvéderm collection plan, combined with other facial injection procedures when appropriate, provides long-lasting, natural-looking improvements.
