Juvéderm®in Northern Virginia

Juvéderm® is a family of FDA-approved, bio-compatible dermal fillers based on hyaluronic acid, a substance found naturally in the human body. Juvéderm’s unique moisture-attracting properties allow it to hold many times its weight in water. Because of this, it can create an immediate plumping effect when injected into the skin.

Anyone interested in refreshing their facial appearance with little-to-no-downtime should absolutely consider Juvéderm® in Northern Virginia and Alexandria.

How Does Juvéderm Work?

Aging skin loses significant amounts of hyaluronic acid and a structural protein called collagen. In the absence of moisture, the skin becomes drier and thinner. Meanwhile, with collagen loss, the skin begins to sag, leading to pronounced volume loss. Common issues associated with these losses include fine lines and wrinkles, flattened lips, less definition in the mid-face and cheekbone area, and noticeable hollows at the temples and under the eyes.

Fortunately, when injected in the precise amounts into targeted areas of your face, Juvéderm can replace the hyaluronic acid you’ve lost due to age, filling in lines and hollows for smoother, more youthful-looking results. Over time, it can also stimulate collagen production in the skin. Juvéderm has the highest concentration of hyaluronic acid of all the available dermal fillers and can last up to 12 months.

What Areas of the Face Can Juvéderm Enhance?

For Northern Virginia and Alexandria patients, Juvéderm can:

  1. Minimize the look of the “parentheses lines” that run from the bottom of the nose to the corners of the mouth
  2. Reduce the “marionette lines,” the downturned creases in the corners of the mouth
  3. Augment thin or aging lips
  4. Create more defined cheekbones

Anyone interested in these enhancements should consult with Dr. Desman as soon as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions

The primary difference is consistency. Juvéderm is a gel, with various thicknesses more appropriate for different skin concerns.

Yes. Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in the body, which makes it hypoallergenic. Over time, your body will absorb it without leaving a trace, which is why the results are not permanent. However, you can choose to get touch-up treatments to keep your results looking fabulous.

Because their formulations contain a small amount of a topical anesthetic called lidocaine, Juvéderm products are comfortable and well-tolerated for most patients.

The most common side effects of getting Juvéderm are mild and temporary swelling, redness, pain, and bruising at the injection site, which you can manage by applying cold compresses and taking over-the-counter pain medication.

The answer to this will vary, based on your concerns. We can provide a customized treatment plan that includes the right formulations in the perfect amounts to meet your needs.

An enzyme called hyaluronidase can counteract the effects of Juvéderm. For example, if you decide your newly plump lips look more exaggerated than you envisioned, you can reverse them, even before the fillers naturally dissolve into your body. However, one advantage of choosing a skilled, board-certified injector to provide your treatments is that they know exactly the right amount to use to create the look you want.
