1. WHAT ARE DERMAL FILLERS?

Collagen used to be the most commonly administered Filler, but now Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Fillers are the newer injectables of choice.

Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is a substance naturally produced within your body that attracts moisture. Hyaluronic Acid (HA) can hold up to 1000 times its weight in water. When injected into the facial area with Hyaluronic Acid (HA), you’ll instantly see plumper, fuller lips, cheeks, or other injected areas.

2. WHAT ARE JUVÈDERM INJECTABLE DERMAL FILLERS?

JUVÉDERM® Is A Cosmetic Treatment Referred To As An Injectable Filler. Clients use JUVÉDERM® To Restore Facial Contours And Improve Signs Of Aging. JUVÉDERM® is an injectable filler with a base Of Hyaluronic Acid (HA). JUVÉDERM® Is A Treatment That Focuses On The Face, Specifically:

  • Cheeks
  • Lips
  • And Around The Mouth
  • Jaw
  • Chin

Lip Fillers are most commonly made with Hyaluronic Acid (abbreviated HA). HA is a substance naturally produced within the body that attracts moisture and can hold up to 1000 times its weight. When injected into the facial area with Hyaluronic Acid, you’ll instantly see plumper, fuller lips.

Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Fillers are the most popular choice among your many injectable lip treatment choices. HA Fillers can instantly plump your lips when injected while also stimulating your skin’s natural collagen production. HA Fillers are usually safer and provide more immediate effects than many other Fillers alternatives, such as collagen.

Plump lips are one of the most common cosmetic treatments that women get today. We know Kylie Jenner for her very full lips. For many, that plump lip look is a “must-have” beauty treatment.

Each vendor’s product creates a certain texture, depth, and density—meaning certain fillers will work better for certain areas you want to enhance. Your cosmetic specialist should be able to determine what product is best for your needs.

Which one is best? The choice is up to you and your cosmetic specialist. They reported Kylie Jenner as having said, “I like to use JUVÈDERM for the lips because it’s made from Hyaluronic Acid (HA). That means it keeps and absorbs water, so it’s specifically great for lips.” (1)

At Sandia Skin + Face, we recommend JUVÈDERM for your Lip Filler choice.

5. SHOULD I GET A DERMAL FILLER (JUVÈDERM) OR BOTOX?

Dermal Fillers enhance your facial features by adding volume to the recessed areas around the corners of the lips, mouth, temples, chin, and cheekbones. Once you have an HA Filler injected, it will replenish your natural Hyaluronic Acid (HA), which has diminished as you age. HA Fillers will give your skin a smooth, plump, and hydrated look. HA Fillers can work in tandem with Botox to rejuvenate the face.

BOTOX and alternatives like Jeuveau, Xeomin, and Dysport are neuromodulators and not Dermal Fillers, which are used to treat wrinkles that naturally occur:

  • Around the Eyes
  • Forehead
  • In between your eyebrows

As these wrinkles become more pronounced with age, BOTOX can relax the muscles that cause those wrinkles. After the BOTOX injection, your injected muscle can no longer tighten and contract, in turn, the wrinkles relax and soften.

6. CAN YOU DESCRIBE THE DERMAL FILLER (JUVÈDERM) TREATMENT?

Step 1: Pre-Treatment Consultation

Your cosmetic specialist will review your medical history and answer any questions you may have.

Your cosmetic specialist will then evaluate your face in order to examine the specific areas to be injected.

Step 2: Anesthetization

They will clean the injection sites marked with an antibacterial solution.

They may also administer anesthetic ointment or local anesthesia. However, most Filler products contain the anesthetic known as lidocaine, which can help minimize discomfort.

Step 3: JUVÈDERM Filler Injection

Injection of the Filler will only take a few seconds per injection site. Your cosmetic specialist will inject a precise amount of Filler beneath the skin, massage it into the area, evaluate the results, and may use additional Filler as needed.  

You are likely to experience mild discomfort. Depending on the number of areas to be injected, the entire procedure can last 5-30 minutes. You will go back to your normal activities immediately after the Filler procedure.

Step 4: Post JUVÈDERM Filler Injection

The results of the dermal filler treatment are almost immediate. You will notice a considerable difference in the volume of your lips immediately after treatment. However, the results of the final Filler will remain hidden under the swelling and bruising during the first few days and up to two weeks for some individuals.

Swelling from the injection is far more noticeable on the lips than elsewhere on the face. The HA Fillers are binding to water underneath the skin, causing the lips to get plump. The injections can cause bruising and bleeding underneath the skin, which means swelling. Swelling is a part of the healing process.

First 2 Days: During the first two days, you might feel very anxious. Your lips will look huge because of the swelling. You might have trouble eating or drinking, but remember, this is just temporary.

Days 3 & 4: You will start seeing some bruises on and around your lips and may feel lumps on your lips. The bruises and lumps will go away over the next week.

Days 4 thru 7: By the time an entire week has passed, the bruising and lumps on and around the lips should have disappeared. Your lips will approach their last look.

Days 8 thru 14: The lip swelling should be gone by day 14. The size of your lips will also decrease a little during this period. However, you see the results of the Fillers treatment. If the swelling persists after day 14, immediately contact our office.

7. HOW LONG CAN I EXPECT JUVÈDERM (DERMAL FILLER) TO LAST?

Depending on the exact JUVÈDERM Dermal Filler used and the injected facial area, we expect your results to last between six to 18 months.

How long a Dermal Filler will last depends on the type of Filler used, the amount of JUVÈDERM, the facial location, and your metabolism. Dermal Fillers also last longer in areas with less movement. For example, injected cheeks will probably last longer than enhanced lips.

9. WHAT ARE JUVÈDERM DERMAL FILLERS SIDE EFFECTS?

To avoid serious side effects, such as injection into an artery causing a skin ulcer or blandness which are exceedingly rare, a trained and licensed cosmetic professional does Dermal Filler. Most side effects are minor and will usually go away within a few hours to weeks. These minor side effects include:

  • Redness
  • Numbness
  • Bruising
  • Allergic Reaction
  • Itching
  • Sores

10. ARE DERMAL FILLERS LIKE JUVÈDERM CONSIDERED SAFE AND EFFECTIVE?
