Juvéderm® Injections in Seattle

The family of Juvéderm® hyaluronic gel dermal filler products includes products for treating the most common signs of aging and lip enhancement. This is one of the only brands of lip fillers and dermal fillers that use various sizes of HA molecules in the gel, known as Vycross technology. The design ensures that the HA effectively targets the most common types of wrinkles and lines.

Juvéderm® products are injected with thin needles. Some of the products have thicker gels, so you may experience a slightly higher pressure as the gel is injected. Juvéderm® for lips involves injections in the lip tissue to add volume and around the mouth to soften wrinkles. Treatments for nasolabial folds with Juvéderm®, as well as treatments for marionette lines with Juvéderm®, involve a series of injections within the wrinkles and folds.

Depending on the severity of your facial wrinkles, you may need more than one Juvéderm® smile lines treatment to achieve the best results. Juvéderm® under your eyes requires one to three injections, but a much smaller volume of the product is used.

Treatment with the family of Juvéderm® hyaluronic acid fillers requires little to no aftercare. Avoid massaging or rubbing the area, as this will change the distribution of the gel. You may notice some minor swelling, tenderness, and discomfort around the injection sites. Lip injections may cause the area to feel tight.

HA fillers have rare side effects because they contain an ingredient that naturally occurs in your body. Fillers for smile lines and other signs of aging may produce some side effects, though, such as:

• Tenderness, swelling, and discomfort that lasts more than five to seven days
• Infection
• Inconsistent wrinkle reduction
