About Juvéderm

The Juvéderm family consists of Juvéderm XC, Juvéderm Ultra XC, and Juvéderm Voluma XC, which are all used in the battle against aging. Depending on a patient’s needs, double board-certified facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Anthony E. Brissett, can inject this filler wherever volume and hydration are needed. The hyaluronic acid dermal filler adds needed volume and hydration to thin lips, deflated cheeks, and the nasolabial folds (lines between the mouth and nose) to produce smoother, younger-looking skin. Consisting of hyaluronic acid (HA), this substance is found naturally in the human body and aids in providing structure to the face, giving it shape and volume. FDA-approved Juvéderm fights aging by spreading beyond the injection site to produce younger-looking skin for up to 1 year.

Dr. Brissett is Fantastic!! - Houston, TX - I think I first saw Dr. Brissett in 06/07, and I still recall how surprised I was at how much time he spent with me and how comfortable I felt talking to him. Today I’m thankful that it was Dr. Brissett’s office that I walked into that day because he made me feel like I was beautiful already. I had kind of assumed I would just ask and receive, but despite my valiant effort to convince him that I needed a total over-hall (at 34), he didn’t go for it. He put all the right products in all the right places and I looked a little younger, a little more rested, and no one was the wiser. He’s very talented. Since that first visit, I’ve lived in three different states but I fly in to see Dr. Brissett for my Botox and Filler. In all these years I’ve never seen another doctor for this and I don’t plan to. He’ll do my brow lift when it’s time; and I can trust him to let me know when the time is right. Dr. Brissett is fantastic!!

Profound RF for lip lines, cheeks, marionette lines & jowls - I decided to profound rf because I'm not at all ready for a facelift at 48, but have vertical lip lines, some wrinkling on my cheeks, the start of some marionette lines, a less defined jawline than I would like, and the first hint of jowls (that sounds awful now that I've written it all out). Sorry, but I don't feel comfortable posting pics. I will do my best to describe everything, because I've benefited so much from others' reviews. I am very anxious when it comes to any kind of procedure, so did my research on this one. The plastic surgeon who does my botox and filler started offering Profound, and I tentatively got on board after office staff described it to me. I would not have done this in a medspa, or with a provider I didn't know and trust, because I've read in several places that user experience and training are important predictors of results. Day of: Someone drove me to the office and I signed consents. The nurse put numbing cream on my face and swabs of oral anesthetic inside my mouth for superficial numbing. Next came the shots of anesthesia. This was by far and away the very worst part. I could never, ever have done it had I not had a valium, and I ended up taking a second one before they started the actual procedure because I was so shaken. If you don't do well with the needles at the dentist or elsewhere, beware. I lost count of how many sticks there were, but every single one was painful. By the last third of the sticks, I was yelling out pain scale numbers unprompted, and they ranged from 6 on up to 10. I also cried. And swore. Next, they moved me to the treatment room, and laid me all the way back in a large chair. There was a bright, operating light overhead. The procedure itself was very tolerable. There was some discomfort, but nothing like the numbing injections. The Dr. held the machine head firmly over patches of skin, and it made a clicking noise, followed by four seconds of sound as the needles stayed in place, delivering the radio frequency. A few times, I could feel the very strange and uncomfortable sensation of something zapping and wiggling deep under my skin, but it otherwise was almost painless. Toward the end, I started to feel things more, and he numbed me up with more shots. When he finished, I looked like an extra from a zombie movie. The anesthesia turned my skin very white, and there were red and purple spots all over I was also very, very swollen right away. I was told this was the fluid in my face. Today is day 2. I slept with my head elevated and I've iced religiously. the swelling has gone down, but my phone still doesn't recognize me, so I'm still - well - that swollen. The swelling isn't uniform; rather, my face looks somewhat lumpy. I'm also red like I have a bad sunburn, and my skin feels hot. The bruising on my face appears to be minimal (fingers crossed it stays that way); my neck, however, is a different story. It looks like someone tried to strangle me. I shall keep icing, taking my arnica, and will give an update in a day or two!

How much does JUVÉDERM cost?

The price of Juvéderm will be dependent on the amount of filler that is needed to achieve your cosmetic goals. Before your Juvéderm injections are administered, a personalized treatment plan will be developed to fit your aesthetic goals and budget. Once this is done, your injector can estimate costs and discuss payment options.

Are JUVÉDERM injections painful?

Although most patients don't find it needed, a numbing cream can be massaged into the treatment area prior to injection if you are worried about any discomfort. Following the treatment, you might feel mild to moderate bruising and swelling that should be gone in 5 – 7 days. You should contact our office if you experience any lasting pain or signs of an infection following your Juvéderm treatment.

What is the difference between a wrinkle filler and relaxer?

Injectable fillers and relaxers address wrinkles throughout the face but with different approaches. Injectable wrinkle relaxers, such as BOTOX, work to correct dynamic wrinkles created by frequent muscle movements. Juvéderm is an injectable dermal filler that improves static wrinkles by increasing volume. Juvéderm is great for improving mild to moderate wrinkles or reversing volume loss in your lips and cheeks.

What to Expect from JUVÉDERM

Beforehand, the doctor will determine the appropriate formula, injection site(s), and the correct dosage to begin this in-office treatment. Since Juvéderm already has a numbing agent (Lidocaine) included, additional numbing usually isn’t needed. The filler will be delivered through a fine needle to the lips, cheeks, and/or wrinkles and lines around the nose and mouth. Patients will feel a small prick and a tingling sensation from the injection. The treatment typically lasts 30 – 45 minutes. 

How Will My JUVÉDERM Results Appear?

After the injectable, there might be slight redness in the treated area. There could also be mild swelling, but it should go away rather quickly. Since there’s no downtime associated with Juvéderm, patients can return to their normal activities immediately. The face will be dramatically improved immediately after the treatment, and most patients can expect reliable results for up to 1 year. 

Bye-Bye to Lines and Wrinkles

Juvéderm has not only become one of the most popular and trusted fillers on the market, it is also one of the most effective at diminishing tough lines and wrinkles. In addition, it can add needed volume to thin lips and deflated cheeks. To learn more about this safe and successful treatment, contact our office for a consultation.
