As we age, exposure to the sun and other elements cause our skin components to break down and lose their structure and volume. This causes lines, facial folds and wrinkles to appear in the face which accentuates aging.  CCI recommends Juvederm™ to patients who want to restore that structure and volume – and instantly take several years off their face. These injection treatments are done in our office as a “lunch hour” beauty treatment and patients normally return to work or regular activity!

It ensures a smooth, natural look and feel.  There will be some redness, firmness and swelling for up to 7 days.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT JUVEDERM™:

What is Juvederm™ ? 
Juvederm™ Ultra and Ultra Plus is a next generation hyaluronic acid dermal fillerThis injectable is different from others on the market because it is a “smooth gel” that flows consistently into the skin to smooth away wrinkles/folds and to restore volume. 

What areas are treated with Juvederm™ ?
Juvederm™  is being used to correct those areas of the face and jaw line that need to be rejuvenated. 

Why is it different from other dermal fillers?
Juvederm™ is available in two injectable gel formulations – Juvederm™ Ultra and Ultra Plus.  The Juvederm™ Ultra gel allows for more versatility in restoring contour and volume to your face and smoothing away wrinkles and folds.  Juvederm™ Ultra Plus is a more robust formula, which allows for treatment of deeper wrinkles and folds while restoring volume as well.

Is Juvederm™ suitable for persons of color and different skin tones?
 YES.  Juvederm™ is the first hyaluronic acid dermal filler to be approved by the FDA for safe, effective treatment for persons of color and different skin tones – without the risk of hyper-pigmentation and hyper-tropic scarring.

How does Juvederm™ differ from Botox Cosmetic®?
Botox is a muscle relaxant generally used in the upper facial area to relax that area between the eyes that cause those two parallel lines.  Juvederm™ is a dermal filler used to restore volume and contour – it does not affect muscle function.

What is hyaluronic acid and cross-linking? 
 Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in all mammals that helps keep the skin hydrated.  As we age, production slows down and lines, wrinkles and folds begin to appear.  Cross-linking is a unique manufacturing process that makes Juvederm™ so effective and longer lasting.

Are the injections painful and how long does a treatment take?
Since it is a smooth gel that flows easily and consistently into the skin, there is very little to no discomfort as with other dermal fillers which are granular.  A treatment generally takes 15 minutes or more.

Will I need follow-up treatments?
Results last 6 months or longer.  Follow-up treatments may be needed for maintenance .but this will be determined on a patient by patient basis

Will insurance pay for my Juvederm™ injectable treatments?
No.  This is a cosmetic procedure – and insurance does not cover elective procedures.

Can I get financing for Juvederm™ treatments?
Today there is financing available for many plastic surgery and cosmetic procedures.  Ask about this in our business office.
