Lip Filler

Juvederm is a brand of hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler used for facial rejuvenation, including lip enhancement.

Juvederm lip injections work by adding volume to the lips and smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth area. The hyaluronic acid in the filler attracts and binds water molecules, which helps to hydrate and plump the lips.

Yes, Juvederm is considered safe when injected by a qualified healthcare professional. However, like any cosmetic procedure, there are potential risks and side effects, including bruising, swelling, redness, and infection.

Juvederm lip injections can last anywhere from six to twelve months, depending on factors such as the patient’s metabolism and the amount of filler injected.

Some patients may experience mild discomfort during the injection process, but most describe it as tolerable. The healthcare professionals at Rejuvenate use a topical numbing cream containing Lidocaine to minimize any pain or discomfort.

The injection process typically takes around 30 minutes, depending on the amount of filler being injected and the technique used.

Common side effects include swelling, redness, bruising, and tenderness at the injection site. These side effects typically resolve within a few days. In rare cases, more serious side effects such as infection or allergic reactions can occur.

Yes, Juvederm can be reversed using an enzyme called hyaluronidase. This enzyme can dissolve the hyaluronic acid filler, although it is important to note that this process may not be 100% effective and may also cause additional swelling or bruising.

Good candidates for Juvederm lip injections include individuals who want to add volume and fullness to their lips or reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth area. It is important to discuss your goals and expectations with a qualified healthcare professional to determine if Juvederm is the right treatment for you.
