Juvéderm is a standard cosmetic treatment, as more than three million people receive dermal fillers yearly in the United States. So what is it? A type of filler made from hyaluronic acid that adds volume to aging skin. No scalpels or weeks-long recovery. Just subtle, natural-looking results.
We break down how it works, what to expect, and why Juvéderm has become a go-to for anyone who wants to look refreshed, not frozen. Let’s take a deep dive. See one of our skilled aesthetics specialists at Dermatology Associates of Central New Jersey in Old Bridge, Union, Toms River, or Freehold, New Jersey, to get started today.
Juvéderm reduces unwelcome signs of aging by supplying your body with hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance present in the skin. As we age, our bodies stop producing as much hyaluronic acid, which often leads to lines, wrinkles, laxity, and other imperfections.
Boosting hyaluronic acid by injecting Juvéderm into targeted areas beneath your skin can subtract years from your appearance without pain, invasive treatments, or downtime.
The following are examples of the anti-aging benefits associated with Juvéderm:
Hyaluronic acid is in high concentrations in soft connective tissues, skin, cartilage, joint fluid, and even fluids in your eyes. It can even ease joint aches and pains in people with arthritis, and is one of the most used injectable fillers in the aesthetics industry.
Your Dermatology Associates of Central New Jersey provider cleans your skin, numbs the area if necessary, and gently injects Juvéderm below the surface of your skin in strategic places.
The treatment isn’t painful, though you might feel a tiny pinch if you forgo the numbing cream. It’s common to receive multiple Juvéderm injections during each visit, and the entire process lasts just a few minutes up to 30-60 minutes.
Post-procedure side effects associated with Juvéderm may include swelling and redness at the injection sites, but your cosmetic results are immediate. Icing the area minimizes any swelling. No downtime is needed; you can resume your typical routine immediately afterward. The effects of Juvéderm last 6-12 months or longer. Repeat treatments provide long-term results.
