Juvederm NYC – Dermal Filler Injections

The treatment process does not take long and is relatively painless. There are Juvederm fillers that contain lidocaine which makes the injections more tolerable. In some cases this will be supplemented by a topical numbing cream that Dr. Schwarzburg will apply to the treatment area 15 – 20 minutes prior to the procedure to reduce and prevent the possible discomfort. The treatment will be carried out by a technique that Dr. Schwarzburg will choose based on your specific case. The injection process will take 20 – 30 minutes with immediate results. Bruising and swelling are among the possible side effects that may not allow you to see the results right away. In case of bruising and swelling you will be advised to apply an ice pack for the rest of the first day, and a warm compress on the following days until the bruising subsides.

The majority of patients do not experience a lot of pain during Juvederm injections. Conditioned by your pain tolerance the procedure may cause some discomfort and pain. However, there are Juvederm fillers containing lidocaine that will reduce the possibility of discomfort. Depending on the treatment area, a topical numbing cream may also help to additionally reduce discomfort. Another measure to make the overall process even more tolerable for you is taking two Tylenols prior to the treatment.

The effect of Juvederm injections can be seen immediately after the procedure if there is no bruising and swelling. In case of bruising and swelling, the results will be obscurely visible. Wait for up to two weeks and you will be able to fully enjoy the final outcome of the procedure. To speed up the healing process you can apply an ice pack to the treated area on the day of the procedure and a warm compress on the following days until the side effects subside. If your Juvederm results are planned for a special event, Dr. Schwarzburg advises undergoing the treatment 2 – 4 weeks before the event to be on the safe side should there be any unforeseen bruising or swelling.

The effect of Juvederm injections can be visible right after the procedure as the filler spreads and fills in the hollowness in the face. There can be cases in which some bruising and swelling occur, making it harder to observe the final results. In order to help your body heal quicker you can apply an ice pack on the treatment area on day one of the treatment and a warm compress and arnica gel on the next days for the bruising.

The answer to this question mainly depends on the type of Juvederm filler used, the amount of the filler, and the patient’s response to the filler. While some patients hold on to results for longer, others may metabolize the filler quicker, leaving them with results that do not last as long. The average longevity of Juvederm fillers is 9 – 12 months.

In 2006 Juvederm was FDA approved as a safe and effective material to treat tissue volume loss, as well as deep facial wrinkles and folds. As with any other procedure, there is a risk of possible side effects, which are rare and mostly treatable. The number one way to bypass those risks and side effects is by being treated by a board certified cosmetic surgeon or dermatologist who has extensive experience and expertise to administer Juvederm injections in a safe and effective manner.

In general, Juvederm injections require little to no recovery time. To be on the safe side and reduce possible bruising and swelling you should avoid exercising and heat for 2 to 3 days. It also helps to apply an ice pack to the treated area on the day of the treatment and a warm compress on the following days.

Bruising, discoloration, tyndall effect, irritation, lumps or bumps, pruritus, and tenderness are all possible side effects of Juvederm injections. However, all of them can be reduced and eliminated with proper treatment. One thing that can notably mitigate the risk of the mentioned side effects is having your treatment administered by a board certified and well-experienced physician or plastic surgeon such as Dr. Schwarzburg.

The number one step to avoid bruising is to stop using any blood thinners such as Aspirin and Motrin, as well as any other supplements that may cause bruising two weeks prior to your procedure. Alcohol and cigarettes can also increase bruising if used within two weeks before the treatment. In the event of actual bruising, a warm compress and arnica gel will facilitate the healing process.

You can go back to your workouts 48 hours after your Juvederm treatment. Any time before then may increase the swelling and bruising in the treated area and cause filler displacement.

Juvederm is designed to replace lost facial volume, enhance existing features or fill in fine lines, wrinkles, and creases in certain parts of the face. Lips, fine lines and wrinkles, also known as smokers lines or vertical lip lines, corners of the mouth, marionette lines (the lines from the corners of the mouth down to the chin), nasolabial area, tear trough (under eyes), chin, temples, hands, cheeks, jawline, neck, as well as acne and surgical scars can be filled in using Juvederm.

Aging is accompanied by significant reduction in the natural hyaluronic acid, collagen, and elastin in our bodies. These three are responsible for the youthfulness of our skin. When our bodies start to lose collagen and hyaluronic acid, it becomes noticeable on the face as it loses volume, especially under the eyes and cheeks. Hyaluronic acid fillers are meant to replace the lost volume and to fill in the wrinkles, lines, and folds that come with age. This process is also known as a liquid face lift because it rejuvenates and brings youthfulness back to the skin without invasive means such as surgery.

Within the last ten years lip augmentation has become a highly popular procedure not only by celebrities and social media influencers but also the general public. There are different lip enhancement techniques, each of which is designed to achieve a certain result. Some patients want radical changes, such as the Kylie Jenner style, others give preference to adding just a little bit of volume for a more subtle result.

When it comes to lip augmentations, Juvederm is one of the most popular fillers as it is based on hyaluronic acid and is versatile. It adds volume and creates fuller lips. However, apart from lips, Juvederm can also be injected around the lip area to address fine lines and wrinkles, sometimes called smoker’s lines and perioral lines as they are mainly caused by smoking, aging, and sun damage. Juvederm Volbella is designed particularly for these lines; in addition to line elimination it also adds a little volume to the area.

With aging even full lips become smaller as a result of collagen and moisture loss. Juvederm fillers help restore this lost volume and give the lips their former youthfulness and hydration, or even more.

Your choice should be based on the kind of end result you would like to achieve. If you prefer a fuller look, then you should select Juvederm Ultra, Juvederm Ultra Plus, or Juvederm Vollure. If you are for more natural looking lips then Juvederm Volbella may be the best option. The best way to approach a lip filler is to allow a well-educated and experienced doctor to select the filler for you in order to bypass any undesirable results.

All Juvederm fillers can be applied to the lips, but for the most part, Juvederm Volbella, Juvederm Ultra, and Juvederm Ultra Plus are used on the lips. The choice largely depends on the end result you seek to achieve. Based on that, Dr. Schwarzburg will choose the most appropriate dermal filler for you.

In order to decide the number of Juvederm syringes for a lip enhancement, you will need to take into consideration your desired end result, as well as the type of Juvederm filler. The average number of syringes for most patients ranges from 1 to 3. One syringe is standard, three syringes will give you more dramatic results.

There is a whole line of Juvederm products, each of which is developed for a certain purpose and for particular areas of the face. If the lips are very thin, and don’t have volume and clear structure, then Juvederm Voluma can be used in the lips. It has high density and viscosity and can achieve dramatic eversion and height increase for both the upper and lower lips. With Juvederm Voluma the lips will feel harder and more rubbery to the touch in comparison to other lip fillers. Voluma’s most common application is in the cheek area, however it can be used for lip augmentation as well, if it matches your unique needs.

Juvederm Ultra Plus is a filler that belongs to the Juvederm family and adds more volume and definition when compared to other fillers. Nonetheless, more than two syringes may be necessary for a fuller look.

The pricing of Juvederm injections for the lips depends on the amount of filler needed, the type of Juvederm filler, the geographical location of the clinic you will be treated at, as well as the qualifications and expertise of your injector. Depending on the look you want to achieve and the complexity of your anatomy, one syringe of Juvederm Ultra injected by a board certified plastic surgeon in New York or Los Angeles is likely to cost anywhere from $800 to $1500. There are medical centers that make discounts if more then one syringe is needed or if you pair lip fillers with other procedures.

Aging causes collagen, elastin, and fat loss in our faces. As a result, we lose fat and tissue volume in our cheeks and other areas of the face that bring on deflation, flatter facial features, and give away older age, especially if there is also volume loss under the eyes. Juvederm Voluma is an FDA approved filler that treats hollowness in the cheeks by restoring the lost collagen and volume in the treatment area. The effect of Juvederm Voluma lasts up to 12 months, making it a great product to add volume to the hollow parts of the face.

Lack of jawline definition caused by genetics, bone structure, fat, or loose skin is a problem faced by many. Juvederm Voluma is perfect at tackling this issue, lifting the jowls and adding some volume for a lifted and tightened effect, resulting in a well defined jawline. When injected in the jawline area, Juvederm will create a more chiseled and defined look from a side profile perspective. Dr. Schwarzburg commonly combines this treatment with Botox injections or other neurotoxins such as Dysport in the masseters to slim down the jaw area. He also uses Botox in the neck bands to address and prevent the formation of wrinkles and lines around the neck.

If there is a significant amount of fat present around the chin and jawline, Dr. Schwarzburg recommends a Kybella or CoolSculpting treatment before Juvederm Ultra injections in the jaw, for better and more visible results.  Another procedure that helps shape the jawline is PDO thread lift, which is a non surgical face lift designed to lift loose and sagging skin and tighten the treatment area.

Dermal fillers are popular for lip enhancements, under eye, and cheek injections. However, there is another area that can largely benefit from a filler treatment and that is often neglected: the chin. It goes hand in hand with the jaw and can also be injected with Juvederm Voluma. JuvedermVoluma will give the chin more prominence and a more projected profile view as well as evening out any present asymmetry in the face. The majority of people tend to choose this minimally invasive option over surgical implants. The latter is an incredibly invasive method involving additional risks and side effects as well as long recovery time. Dr. Schwarzburg sometimes chooses to perform CoolSculpting or Kybella treatments before chin fillers, to eliminate the fat around the chin and jawline and to achieve a more defined and prominent shape of the chin.

Loss of volume under the eyes is very often accompanied by loss of volume in the cheeks. As we age we lose collagen and adipose tissue resulting in an older appearance. The under eye Juvederm filler helps replace the lost volume, and rejuvenates and refreshes the skin and the overall face. Sometimes the under eye hollows create an impression of dark circles or discoloration under the eyes when in reality all of that is just a shadow cast by loss of volume in the tear trough. Juvederm Volbella is a great option to treat the tear trough, addressing the hollowness and refreshing one’s overall appearance.

Nasolabial folds, also called smile lines, are another area on the face that are often overlooked. These folds go down from the nose corner to the corners of the mouth and make you look older. More often than not this is the one of the first areas that shows volume loss in the face. Juvederm fillers are a popular choice to fill in these lines, Juvederm Vollure being one of the most common ones for that particular area. The effects of Juvederm Vollure last up to 18 months. This is a good way to look younger by eliminating or at least reducing the appearance of smile lines.

Juvederm can be well combined with other cosmetic procedures like other hyaluronic acid fillers, such as Restylane, Radiesse, Belotero, Sculptra, Revanesse, and Teosyal, neurotoxins, such as Botox, Dysport, Xeomin or Jeaveau, and skin tightening treatments, such as Fraxel laser and Secret RF Microneedling as well as skin lifting procedures, such as PDO thread lift.

Juvederm is often paired with Botox and other neurotoxins such as Dysport for prevention and elimination of fine lines and wrinkles in the treatment area and relaxation of other muscles around the jaw and neck.

Juvederm can be enhanced by other fillers, too. It is quite common to inject Restylane Silk filler under the eyes, Juvederm Voluma in the cheeks, Juvederm Ultra in the smile lines and Radiesse for jawline definition.

Sometimes the issue of sagging skin is still present even after a liquid facelift with Juvederm Voluma and other fillers. In such cases a PDO thread lift would be the next logical step to help lift loose skin around the jowls and jawline.

In certain cases the step preceding Juvederm Voluma injections for chin definition and augmentation is getting rid of excess fat in the area. CoolSculpting is a non-invasive cryolipolysis treatment and Kybella is a synthetic version of fat dissolving deoxycholic acid. Both may be used to reduce the stubborn fat around the chin area.

If you plan on getting a skin tightening and acne scar removal treatment, you may get the treatment before you get your fillers to avoid migration of the filler. Some of the most popular treatments include non-ablative fractional laser treatments such as Fraxel Dual, or Secret RF microneedling, which is a fractional microneedling treatment utilizing radiofrequency energy to coagulate the dermal-subdermal layers to stimulate collagen production.

Combination treatments can often be the best form of skin care depending on your skin type and the original state of it. Every treatment serves a certain purpose and can be carried out alone or combined with other treatments. It is a common practice for Dr. Schwarzburg to combine different procedures for the most optimal results, such as microneedling and laser treatments such as Fraxel for skin tightening, Botox for reduction and prevention of fine lines and wrinkles by means of muscle relaxation, and dermal fillers for volume restoration through replacement of lost collagen and hyaluronic acid.

The FDA has approved both Juvederm and Restylane as hyaluronic acid based dermal fillers to enhance volume in certain parts of the face and body. These two products are quite similar, the main difference being in their molecule size and chemical composition, thickness and longevity. There is more swelling with Juvederm in comparison to Restylane, though it typically offers more volume. This, however, depends on how the patient responds to each of these fillers. When choosing a specific filler, Dr. Schwarzburg takes into consideration your particular needs, skin thickness, anatomical structure, and the results that you want to achieve.

Every filler serves its own specific purpose and it is difficult to make a general statement on which one is better. The comparison should be made on a case level to understand which one will help achieve the desired best result in that specific case. Both Juvederm and Restylane are hyaluronic acid based fillers approved by the FDA and designed to replace lost volume and fill in lines and wrinkles in the face, neck, and hands. Dr. Schwarzburg will be able to determine which filler is the correct one to be injected after a thorough analysis of your case and skin type.

Both Juvederm and Restylane are hyaluronic acid based fillers that serve the same purposes. Each of them have their own varieties that can be combined in different areas of the face to complement each other. Sometimes one is a better choice than the other depending on the patient’s desired results and facial features. The efficacy of their combination differs from case to case.

In general, smoking affects the skin in a negative way as it reduces the amount of collagen in it and can also affect the longevity of hyaluronic acid. Smoking also has a tendency of thinning out the skin and postponing the healing process after the injections.

Everyone who is generally in good health is a good candidate for Juvederm dermal fillers. If you seek ways to eliminate deep lines or hollowness in your face then Juvederm is most likely to be an effective solution for you. It can be a good option, too, even when all that you’re looking for is a little bit of volume in your lips or evened out chin or jawline.

However, before undergoing the actual treatment be sure to discuss your allergies or skin conditions with your injectors, if there are any. When pregnant or breastfeeding avoid fillers.

It is legal to get Juvederm fillers from the age of 18. However, based on the type of filler you want, you may or may not be allowed to undergo the procedure. Be aware that some doctors prefer not to perform an injection treatment on individuals under the age of 21.

All hyaluronic acid based fillers are dissolvable with a hyaluronidase injection and Juvederm is not an exception. Hyaluronidase injections momentarily dissolve all the Juvederm fillers. Dissolving may take one session or more depending on the amount of the injected filler. This is why it is advised to start with little filler and add to that amount gradually if necessary, rather than having 2 or 3 syringes injected at once.

The easiest way to get rid of a Juvederm filler is getting a hyaluronidase injection. However, you could also try massaging the treated area after the injection and exposing yourself to the sun which will thin your skin and possibly make the filler fade quicker. The best way to dissolve the filler is through a hyaluronidase injection.

The price of Juvederm injections is mainly affected by the number of syringes you get, the type of Juvederm filler, the treatment area, the geographical location of the clinic and the expertise of the injector. A board certified doctor is likely to set a higher price than a nurse or aesthetician at a medical spa.

Juvederm works great for a wide range of injections and treatment areas. There is a wide variety of Juvederm fillers specifically developed for different procedures and treatment areas, such as the nasolabial folds, under eye treatment, and lip enhancements.

The majority of medical spas have dermal fillers including Juvederm fillers in their service list. Some med spas offer the service of a board certified physician, while others don’t. At Miracle Face, Dr. Schwarzburg, being a board certified expert in cosmetic and laser medicine, is the one who performs the injections.
