Juvéderm® Fillers in Atlanta

Juvéderm® is one of the top brands of hyaluronic acid fillers, offering a wide range of fillers for moderate to severe facial wrinkles and volume loss in different areas of the face. Patients who want to restore youthful skin and enhance their facial contours can benefit from Juvéderm in Atlanta, GA.

What is Juvéderm?

Juvéderm is a dermal filler designed to help soften the appearance of lines and wrinkles, and restore areas of the face that have lost youthful volume. It is made with hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that stimulates the production of connective tissue that plumps the skin. Hyaluronic acid also keeps the skin hydrated, giving it a radiant glow that enhances your youthful appearance.

At our office, we offer several Juvéderm® fillers, including:

Juvéderm® Vollure

This soft and flexible gel filler that your doctor uses to instantly smooth away wrinkles around your mouth and nose, including nasolabial folds (smile lines). The results can last for up to 18 months.

Juvéderm® Voluma XC

Voluma can be used to create a subtle lift, address age-related volume loss in the cheeks, and build structure in the chin for a non-surgical chin augmentation. This filler has been proven to last up to 2 years in the cheek area for patients over 21 years of age.

Juvéderm® Volbella

For those who want to improve the appearance of their lips, subtle volume can be added with Volbella. It also can be used to soften the appearance of vertical lip lines and perioral lines, as well as can be used to treat under-eye hollows.

Juvéderm® Ultra

Used to restore a smooth appearance to the face, Ultra is a gel injected into areas of the face with moderate to severe wrinkles and folds to balance overall structure. This treatment option contains lidocaine for additional comfort during injection.

Juvéderm® Ultra Plus

A slightly thicker variation of Ultra, Ultra Plus can be used as a hand rejuvenation option or to sculpt facial contours. It also includes lidocaine for added comfort and generally is chosen over its thinner counterpart for deeper wrinkles that Ultra cannot fully treat.

Juvéderm® Volux

Specially formulated to contour the chin and jawline, Volux contains lidocaine to improve comfort during injection. It is FDA-approved and known for its high lift capacity, thus allowing for maximum impact.

How much do Juvéderm injections cost?

The cost of Juvéderm injections in Atlanta varies depending on the specific product used, the number of syringes needed, and the treatment area. Pricing may also reflect the expertise of the injector and the location of the practice, so it’s important to schedule a consultation for an accurate quote based on your personalized goals.

During Your Juvéderm Consultation 

Your Juvéderm consultation is a crucial step where your provider will assess your facial structure, discuss your aesthetic goals, and determine the best-suited Juvéderm filler for your needs. You’ll review your medical history, including any medications or allergies, to ensure you’re a good candidate. This is also an ideal opportunity to ask questions, learn about the expected outcomes, and understand the treatment and recovery process.

Your Juvéderm Injection Appointment

At your Juvéderm appointment, the targeted areas will be cleansed and prepped, and a topical anesthetic may be applied to maximize comfort. Your provider will then carefully inject the chosen filler using a fine needle or cannula, often taking between 15 and 30 minutes. The process is quick and minimally invasive, allowing most patients to return to daily activities right after the procedure.

The Steps of Juvéderm Injections

During your Juvéderm treatment, your product of choice will be carefully injected using a small, fine syringe. Juvéderm products also contain a small amount of lidocaine, which will help to minimize any discomfort you may feel during the treatment. The entire treatment process usually takes between 15 and 30 minutes to complete.

Recovery After Juvéderm Injections

Juvéderm fillers require minimal downtime, making them an ideal choice for individuals with busy schedules. Some patients may experience swelling and mild bruising around the injection site. It is best to stop aspirin, NSAIDS, and other blood thinners prior to the procedure to avoid bruising. Patients should only avoid strenuous activity, sun exposure, and consuming alcohol for 24 hours post-treatment. Results typically last between six months and two years, depending on the specific Juvéderm filler used.

Frequently Asked Questions about Juvéderm

Juvéderm Results

It’s best to allow two weeks before judging your final results with Juvéderm. During this time, the swelling will subside, and the product will bind to water molecules, producing the intended results. Juvéderm filler results can last anywhere from six to eighteen months, depending on the individual formula chosen.

Risks of Juvéderm

While Juvéderm is generally safe and FDA-approved, all injectable treatments carry some risk of side effects. Common side effects include mild swelling, bruising, redness, or tenderness at the injection site. Rare but serious risks can include infection, vascular complications, or unintended results, which is why choosing a qualified and experienced injector is essential for safety and success.

Questions to Ask a Plastic Surgeon About Juvéderm

When considering Juvéderm, it’s essential to consult with your plastic surgeon about their experience with facial fillers and the specific products they recommend for your concerns. Inquire about the longevity of results, how to prepare for your appointment, and what to expect during recovery. You may also want to ask how they handle touch-ups and what to do if you experience side effects.
