Juvéderm

Juvéderm is a cosmetic treatment that uses hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler to improve facial counters. It can be used on your cheeks, lips, forehead, and mouth areas to treat a variety of cosmetic concerns. Though the results are temporary, they can last for up to 24 months (depending on usage).

The Juvéderm line of products includes different substance combinations—designed to address various types of lines, wrinkles, and lost fat volume on your face. However, each product consists of a bonding and varying concentrations of hyaluronic acid. If you want to learn more about Juvéderm, request an appointment with The Med Spa – St. Luke’s today.

While your results are temporary, they are still relatively long-lasting: you’ll only need injections every 12 to 24 months. To determine if Juvéderm is right for you, request an appointment with The Med Spa – St. Luke’s today.

What can I expect?

Side effects include pain, firmness, tenderness—though these are common with other cosmetic treatments as well. However, any noticeable side effects should subside within 24 to 48 hours after your injections.

Because Juvéderm is a temporary solution for cosmetic concerns, you’ll need ongoing treatments to maintain your results. But results typically last from one to two years.
