A favorite filler used at CN Medical Aesthetics & Wellness in Park Ridge, IL is Juvéderm®. Juvéderm® is a collection of hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers designed to restore volume, soften wrinkles, and enhance facial contours without surgery. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the skin that attracts moisture and adds youthful plumpness.
Whether you're looking to restore lost volume, enhance your lips, or define your jawline, there's a Juvéderm product tailored to your needs.
Types of Juvéderm and Their Uses:
- Areas: Cheeks, midface, chin
- Best For: Restoring volume and lift to sagging or hollow cheeks
- Lasts Up To: 2 years
Procedure:
- Personalized consultation with a licensed injector to assess your goals and create a custom treatment plan. (10-15mins)
- Take pictures to track progress. (5 mins)
- A topical numbing agent is applied if needed to ensure comfort. (Each product contains lidocaine, a built-in numbing agent, to help ensure a comfortable experience.) (20-30 mins)
- Juvederm is then carefully injected into target areas. (~30 mins)
- Pictures again to assess injection placement and compare to previous pictures. (5 mins)
- After-care instructions explained and provided.
Results:
Juvéderm delivers immediate, natural-looking results, with full effects becoming more noticeable 2 weeks following treatment as swelling subsides. Depending on the specific product used, treatment area, and individual response, results can last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years.
To maintain your desired look, regular maintenance treatments may be recommended.
All filler appointments include a complimentary 2-week follow-up appointment to assess how the filler has settled and make any touch-ups if necessary.
It’s important to note that, as with all injectable treatments, results vary from person to person. Supplemental ‘touch-up’ treatments may be required to achieve and maintain optimal correction of wrinkles and folds.
Downtime & Side-effects
Juvéderm is FDA-approved and considered safe when performed by a trained medical professional. Like all injectables, minor side effects can occur, including:
- Temporary redness, swelling, or bruising
- Tenderness or firmness at the injection site
- Lumps or unevenness (usually temporary)
- Rare but serious risks like allergic reaction or vascular complications
- Downtime includes swelling or bruising for a few days after treatment.
Your provider will review your medical history and provide post-treatment care instructions to minimize risks.
Safe and Effective for All Skin Tones
Juvéderm® fillers are FDA-approved for use across all skin types and tones, including deeper skin tones.
When administered by a trained provider, Juvéderm is considered safe and effective for people of color, with minimal risk of pigment disruption, scarring, or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
