As you grow older, your skin loses its natural hyaluronic acid, collagen, and elastin reserves. These components are essential for your skin’s youthful appearance. Juvéderm is a family of fillers including Juvéderm Ultra and Juvéderm Ultra Plus. These are moderate elasticity fillers that Dr. Vial uses exclusively for nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and deep wrinkles.

How long do Juvéderm results last?

How is Juvéderm performed?
Your Juvéderm treatment starts with a consultation with Dr. Vial. He will review your medical history, examine your facial tissues, and discuss your goals to curate the ideal Juvéderm treatment plan. He individually curates all treatments to ensure optimal, safe, and subtle results.
During your treatment, your skin will be cleansed. Dr. Vial will mark the injection spots on your face; Juvéderm will then be injected into the targeted facial tissues using ultrafine needles and cannulas. You may experience a mild pinch. The injections take minutes.
What is the recovery process after Juvéderm?
Juvéderm does not involve an extended recovery process. You can resume all your daily activities and work immediately, but you should avoid strenuous workouts for 24 hours. You should also keep your head elevated for a few hours and avoid any additional facial treatments for 24 hours.
What are the risks of Juvéderm?
Dr. Vial prioritizes safety above all else. Dr. Vial will highlight potential side effects and complications during your initial consultation. Complications are rare and can generally be avoided if you select a highly trained and skilled provider.
The complications unique to Juvéderm that are reported nationally include, but are not limited to:
- Swelling
- Bruising
- Infection (rare)
