Where Is Juvéderm Injected? Learn About the Top 4 Filler Areas
If you’re in your thirties or older, you’ve probably noticed changes in your face. Diminishing levels of collagen and elastin can cause the cheeks to look gaunt and the under eyes to sag. Your cheeks may look sunken, and your jawline may look baggy due to jowls. You may also see small lines and wrinkles developing on your lips. All of these changes are perfectly normal. However, you can temporarily hold them at bay or even reverse their appearance with Juvéderm fillers.
Juvéderm is a highly desirable filler because it adds natural-looking volume to the face. It’s made by the creators who formulated Botox so you can have confidence in its efficacy. Juvéderm is FDA-approved and has a history of effective use. But where is Juvéderm injected, and can you use it to improve your appearance? Learn the answers to these questions and more in this helpful introduction to popular Juvéderm filler areas.
What Is Juvéderm?
Juvéderm is an injectable dermal filler made of hyaluronic acid (HA). This is one of the most desirable types of fillers because it is reversible. That means you can ask your provider to dissolve it if you react badly or don’t like your results. Juvéderm can add volume, promote hydration, and smooth away unwanted wrinkles when injected into desired areas. It’s also commonly used to enhance certain features or add facial and lip symmetry.
Juvéderm contains lidocaine, which is a popular anesthetic. The lidocaine content helps numb some discomfort associated with Juvéderm injections. Most providers also offer a topical numbing cream to reduce patient discomfort further. Juvéderm is quite versatile and can treat multiple areas of the face.
Filler Between the Eyebrows
Many people choose to get filler between eyebrows. That’s where the infamous “11” lines or frown lines develop. Often, deep creases form between the eyebrows due to excessive frowning or squinting. These creases indicate areas of lost volume. Juvéderm can restore volume to the creases so the area between the brows appears much smoother.
HA fillers also help plump the skin by keeping it hydrated. HA can hold many times its weight in water. It pulls water molecules close to the skin and slows their dissipation rate. Therefore, it can quickly rehydrate and plump skin that looks dry and crepey.
HA fillers like Juvéderm are great alternatives to Botox. While Botox is very good at smoothing wrinkles by paralyzing the muscles, HA fillers work differently. They plump and fill in low-volume areas to make wrinkles effectively disappear. The effects of these fillers do wear off over time, so you’ll need to receive maintenance treatments to keep enjoying your smoother complexion.
Filler for Hollow Eyes (Under Eye Filler)
One of the most popular filler areas on the face is the under eyes. Hollow eyes can have many underlying causes. For example, your eyes may look hollow if you’re malnourished or getting insufficient sleep. Hollow eyes are also common with age. That’s why many older people’s eyes often appear to be sunken into their heads.
You can try treating age-related hollow eye problems with topical skincare products. However, you may need more than the results you want. That’s because topical products can’t typically restore lost volume due to declining elastin and collagen levels. Fortunately, Juvéderm makes an exceptional under-eye filler. You’ll have a more wakeful appearance when you receive filler for hollow eyes. Fillers can also minimize the shadows that tend to form in under-eye hollows.
Lip Fillers
Some people are lucky enough to be born with plump, symmetrical lips. Others may not be born with the perfect lips, but that doesn’t mean they can never have them! Whether you have a thin upper lip, excessively wrinkled lips, or an asymmetrical pout, Juvéderm can help! The mouth is one of the top filler areas for Juvéderm injections.
HA filler injections are safe and effective for enhancing lip volume and definition. They can also leave the lips looking and feeling more hydrated and attractive. Fillers can plump up thin lips and smooth wrinkles from the areas around the mouth. Learning everything you can about the different Juvéderm lip fillers is important to determine which formula is right for you. When you schedule a consultation with Calista Skin & Laser Center, our lip injection specialists will evaluate your lips to determine which one if best for you.
Fill Around Mouth Lines
You can use filler around mouth to add volume and a natural lift to the skin. Many people receive filler for smile lines and marionette lines. Smile lines are the wrinkles that run from the corners of your nose to your mouth. They are also referred to as nasolabial folds. Marionette lines run from the corners of your mouth to your chin. As the name suggests, they can give you a puppet-like appearance.
If the area around your mouth betrays your age, consider receiving filler around mouth lines. After your treatment, you’ll have a smoother complexion with more youthful plumpness. When using fillers around your mouth, starting with a small amount is generally best. You can always add more filler later if you think you need it. Overdoing fillers could lead to an unnatural appearance. You should be especially cautious not to overdo mouth filler, or you might have trouble smiling naturally.
Are There Any Other Potential Treatment Areas?
The eyebrows, under eyes, lips, and mouth are the four most popular Juvéderm filler areas. However, some patients also receive HA fillers in the cheeks or any area that’s impacted by wrinkles. Fillers may also help reduce the appearance of pocked and uneven skin caused by acne scarring. You can also receive fillers along the jawline and chin to enhance and define these areas. Some people even opt to use fillers to mimic the results of a surgical nose job. No matter where you receive your injections, you’ll notice the difference immediately.
How Long Do Juvéderm Fillers Last?
Juvéderm fillers typically last anywhere between six and 18 months. This is a broad time range, but that’s because people metabolize HA fillers differently. The longevity of your results depends on a variety of factors, such as:
Who Makes a Good Dermal Filler Candidate?
If you want to turn back the hands of time on your appearance, you may be a good candidate for Juvéderm fillers. The best candidates are those with mild to moderate wrinkles, realistic treatment expectations, and no known allergies to HA fillers. You should also be physically healthy and free from serious skin conditions that might respond negatively to fillers.
If you have a current skin infection, you should not receive fillers. Give your skin time to heal up before scheduling your filler appointment. People with susceptible skin may not be good candidates either. They have a higher risk of developing an adverse reaction to the fillers. Additionally, people with severe aging symptoms may not be the best candidates for HA fillers. They may not receive worthwhile results. It might be best for them to consider more extensive cosmetic treatments instead.
