Juvederm®

Think about someone you know with a natural-looking youthful face. Chances are that the person doesn’t just have wrinkle-free skin – they also have those apple-like cheeks that are often the hallmark of youth. Or maybe they have thicker lips, or they don’t have any lines or folds around the mouth.

The common denominator here is that all of these signs of youth require facial volume. Unfortunately, as we get older, facial volume begins to break down, resulting in sunken cheeks, nasolabial folds, more facial wrinkles, and lines – and “disappearing” lips.

That’s where the Juvederm family of dermal fillers and volume enhancers comes in.

Juvederm is the brand name for a family of FDA-approved dermal fillers that use various hyaluronic acid formulas to get the facial volume you need to look naturally youthful. Whether you want to get your apple-like cheeks back or you need a little extra help treating those nasolabial folds or lips, Juvederm injections can help you get the results you’re looking for!

There’s no downtime associated with Juvederm injections. However, patients should anticipate some minor side effects, like slight redness at the injection site which typically fades in a few hours.

Results include smoother and more youthful-looking skin, minimization of deep facial lines and folds, and restoration of lost facial volume. Because of these improvements, many of  Dr. Vitolo’s patients say that Juvederm injections make them look naturally rejuvenated, as regular injections can improve collagen production and even increase the skin’s ability to retain complexion-plumping water molecules.

Results typically can last about six to eighteen months or longer, depending on which Juvederm product used, with Voluma XC being the longest lasting.
