Is treatment with Juvederm™ injectable gel painful?
Injections may cause some discomfort during and after the injection. The smooth consistency gel of Juvederm™ allows your doctor to administer it easily and smoothly. And, Juvederm™ is injected directly into the skin using a fine needle to reduce injection discomfort. Your doctor may choose to numb (anesthetize) the treatment area to further minimize discomfort.
How long does treatment usually take?
The injection process takes only about 15 minutes. You'll also need to allow time to consult with your doctor prior to treatment.
How long do results last?
Juvederm™ is the only hyaluronic acid (HA) filler FDA approved to last up to 1 year.
How is Juvederm™ injectable gel different from BOTOX® Cosmetic?
Juvederm™ injectable gel is a “next-generation” hyaluronic acid dermal filler that provides volume and is used to treat wrinkles and folds resulting from a loss of volume beneath the surface of the skin such as perioral lines and nasolabial folds (lines around your mouth and nose). Juvederm™ restores your skin's volume for a smooth, natural look and feel. BOTOX® Cosmetic is not a filler. BOTOX® Cosmetic relaxes muscle activity and is used to treat moderate to severe lines caused by the dominant frown muscles between the eyebrows (the glabellar area). This allows the two vertical lines between the brows, often referred to as the “11,” to temporarily diminish for a smoother appearance. |
