IDEAL CANDIDATES

The best candidates for Juvéderm injectable wrinkle fillers are men or women who have facial lines and wrinkles they would like to address. It may also be beneficial if you have age-related volume loss or naturally thin lips or cheeks. Juvéderm wrinkle filler injections at Iowa Face + Body Med Spa are great if you want to improve your facial appearance while avoiding the downtime and expense of a surgical procedure (like a brow lift, eyelid lift, facelift, or facial implants).

PROCEDURE TECHNIQUE

Juvéderm treatments usually only take around 15 – 30 minutes based on the number of areas being treated. Your skin will be cleaned, and then the injection sites will be marked. To minimize discomfort throughout the treatment, Juvéderm fillers contain lidocaine (a local anesthetic). Following your procedure, you can resume your normal routine; however, strenuous activity, like exercise, should be skipped for at least a day. You need to be cautious not to put your hands on your face immediately after your injections to prevent moving the gel into unintended areas.

WHAT TO EXPECT

You should see a visible improvement immediately following your Juvéderm treatment, but you could also see light bruising or swelling in the injected areas for about 7 – 10 days. The results of Juvéderm injections typically last as long as a year. Many patients notice that their improvements start to last over a year after a few years of injections. Talk to our nurse about how soon to schedule your next treatment at Iowa Face + Body Med Spa to maintain your results.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How much does Juvéderm cost?

The price of a Juvéderm injection will depend on the amount of filler needed to achieve your cosmetic goals. Before your treatment, a personalized injection plan will be created to match these goals. Once this is done, we can estimate costs and discuss payment options.

Are Juvéderm injections painful?

Though many patients don't think it's needed, a numbing cream can be massaged into the treatment site before injection if you're concerned about any discomfort. However, most Juvéderm fillers contain lidocaine (a local anesthetic). After the injection, you might experience mild to moderate bruising and swelling that should subside within a week. Please contact Iowa Face + Body Med Spa if you have any severe discomfort or signs of infection following your Juvéderm injection.

What is the difference between a wrinkle filler and a relaxer?

Fillers and relaxers address facial wrinkles but in different ways. Wrinkle relaxers, such as BOTOX, work to smooth dynamic wrinkles created by frequent muscle movements. Juvéderm is an injectable wrinkle filler that improves static wrinkles and adds volume. Juvéderm is ideal for treating mild to moderate lines and wrinkles or reversing volume loss in your cheeks and lips.

What results can I expect?

You may need to wait a few days to see the complete improvements from your Juvéderm injections. Typically, it only takes one treatment to reach your desired outcome. However, you may make a follow-up appointment at our Med Spa if you want to enhance your results or increase volume.

How long do results typically last?

Your results from a Juvéderm injection may last anywhere from 1 – 2 years. This can vary based on which formula is selected and the injection site(s). The duration of your results will be shorter or longer, depending on the speed at which your body absorbs the filler.
