JUVÉDERM® Dermal Fillers – Ocala, FL

What is JUVÉDERM®?

JUVÉDERM® is the #1 best-selling dermal filler in the U.S. With it, skin care specialists can easily plump up different areas of the face to help lighten the severity of deep wrinkles located around the mouth and nose. Different formulas can also effectively smooth vertical lip lines, lift the cheeks, and increase the fullness of the lips.

JUVÉDERM® itself is actually made of hyaluronic acid that comes in the form of a sugar based, crystal-clear gel. This is injected into specific areas of the face, and when applied by a skin care professional, the results can be trusted to last for about 12-18 months. That’s quite a long time for a treatment that only takes about 15-60 minutes! JUVÉDERM® also contains pain-reducing lidocaine to ensure patients feel little to no discomfort during or after their procedure.

The Benefits of JUVÉDERM®

• Renewed Appearance : Results with JUVÉDERM® are subtle but noticeable, restoring a youthful glow to the face that doesn’t make someone look overdone.
• Surgery-Free: It’s one of the simplest ways to dramatically improve your appearance and smooth out the skin on your face without going under the knife.
• FDA-Approved: JUVÉDERM® was approved by the FDA in 2006 because of its safety and efficacy.
• Long-Lasting Results: As we touched on above, a single JUVÉDERM® treatment can provide results that last up to a year or more.

 

Why You Should Come to Lift

Many aesthetic practices have JUVÉDERM®, but what they’re missing is an expert that will help you get the most out of your treatment. At Lift, we have Elizabeth Weldon. She has over 12 years of experience in dermatology and has helped countless people with JUVÉDERM® injections. She’ll know how to give you exactly the right amount so you get the best possible results while maintaining a completely natural appearance.

Before doing anything, however, she will first sit down with you so she can better understand your goals and areas of concern. Her mission is to help you look like the best possible version of yourself.

The Cost of JUVÉDERM®

The cost of JUVÉDERM® encompasses not only the filler itself, but the expertise and the skill of the person administering it as well. The average price for a syringe of JUVÉDERM® can range from about $400-$1,000, depending on the size of the treatment area and a patient’s desired result. Everything can be discussed before your treatment so you can know exactly what to expect.

At-Home Care & Ongoing Maintenance

Most patients experience a very fast and easy recovery period after a JUVÉDERM® treatment. You’ll be advised to ice the treatment area(s) often for the first few days afterward, as a little bruising and swelling is common. Also, vigorous exercise isn't recommended for 24-48 hours after treatment.

Over time, JUVÉDERM® will slowly absorb and break down over 6-24 months depending on the product and individual. Lines and hollows will slowly become more visible again. When this occurs, you can simply return to Lift for a quick touch-up appointment, and you'll enjoy completely renewed results.

Restore That Youthful Glow

We’re able to achieve some truly amazing results with JUVÉDERM®, and Elizabeth can easily do the same for you by using a customized treatment plan designed to help you meet your beauty goals. If you’re ready to stop worrying about the lines on your face, give Lift Facial Aesthetics a call today.

Juvéderm® FAQs

When preparing to undergo JUVÉDERM®, you may have some additional questions about your upcoming treatment. This is not uncommon, as it is important that you have all the information you need to make the right decision about your facial aesthetics. At Lift Facial Aesthetics, we believe in providing our patients with transparent, clear answers, which is why we’ve compiled some of the most frequently asked questions about JUVÉDERM® for you! After reviewing the following information, please don’t hesitate to contact our office if you have additional questions.

Will I experience any side effects from JUVÉDERM®?

Most people who seek this type of treatment never experience any side effects; however, there are some who do. Fortunately, they are only temporary and are very mild or moderate. The most common side effects include lumps, swelling, redness of the injection site, pain or tenderness, bruising, itching, or discoloration.

Will my results look natural?

One of the great aspects of JUVÉDERM® is that the results are almost immediate. When using a skilled, trained, and licensed professional to administer your treatment, your facial features will look completely natural. While there is a small risk of bruising, it is advised that you do not have it performed right before a big event. The results of treatment can last anywhere from 12-18 months, so make sure you give yourself ample time before your wedding, work event, or upcoming vacation to allow for any bruising or swelling to disappear.

Will it hurt to receive JUVÉDERM®?

Although you might feel slight discomfort when Elizabeth initially injects the filler into your skin, it is only temporary. The injection requires the use of a fine needle, reducing the likeliness of actual pain. Once it is inserted, the smooth gel consistency will spread easily, making the process smoother and more enjoyable. If necessary, she can numb the area before performing the injection to help lessen any discomfort you might feel during your visit.

Who should avoid JUVÉDERM®?

While you might assume that this and other facial aesthetic treatments are suitable for anyone, there are individuals who should avoid JUVÉDERM® and BOTOX. If there is a current infection at the injection site or a person is hypersensitive to the ingredients in JUVÉDERM®, the treatment should not be performed. It is also not advised for individuals with neuromuscular disorders (i.e. ALS, myasthenia gravis, or Lamber-Eaton syndrome) to undergo these common skincare procedures.

How much JUVÉDERM® will I need?

The amount of JUVÉDERM® you will need is based on your unique situation. When meeting with your skincare specialist in Ocala, you can expect that she will examine your facial skin and determine the severity of your problem areas. The typical amount is one or two syringes for one area; however, it is also possible that you might need three or four. Your age, severity of your wrinkles, and desired goals are all factors you can expect us to consider when formulating a treatment plan.

How is JUVÉDERM® different than other injectable treatments?

Depending on the type of issue you’re looking to address, different injectables can treat different problem areas. Many people assume that dermal fillers and other solutions like BOTOX are the same, but they are not. Not only does one temporarily freeze facial muscles, while the other fills in age lines and wrinkles, but BOTOX is best used for lines that appear when the face is in motion. JUVÉDERM® is best used when age lines remain static on the face with or without movement.

What is the reason most people seek dermal fillers like JUVÉDERM®?

Everyone has their own reason for choosing a facial aesthetic treatment like JUVÉDERM®. Most want to turn back the clock and recapture a more youthful appearance. Others want to minimize scarring that has deepened over the years. No matter a person’s reason for choosing this type of treatment, it is a great way to gain more confidence and feel better about the way you look.

How should I prepare for JUVÉDERM®?

The preparation required for JUVÉDERM® is minimal, but you’ll want to make sure that your skincare specialist is aware of any medications you may be taking. Certain ones can increase your risk of bruising as well as have other potential risks. These might include aspirin, blood thinners, anti-inflammatories, or Vitamin E.

You’ll also want to avoid any alcohol for 1-2 days prior to your injection, and on the day of your treatment, apply a cold compress to reduce your risk of bruising.
