The Science Behind Juvéderm

The Juvéderm family of products has revolutionized the aesthetic industry. These products have become extremely popular dermal fillers for good reason. The array of Juvéderm fillers is made from synthetic hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a substance with incredible properties; it is a humectant, which means it binds to moisture. When it occurs naturally in your skin, it keeps it plump and firm. As the years pass, the body produces less and less of the substance, and your skin begins to lose its fresh, plump, healthy quality. With our Washington, DC, Juvéderm dermal fillers, the outer layers of your skin look and feel softer, hydrated, and fine lines and wrinkles are smoothed so that you can look years younger.

What Are The Benefits of Juvéderm?

Juvederm achieves many benefits for patients who want to renew and rejuvenate their appearance without a surgical procedure. Juvederm smoothes wrinkles, creases, and lines and enhances your natural features and beauty with only injections, which are a relatively painless, minimally invasive treatment. You can experience plumper skin, a more defined jawline, reduced circles under the eyes, supple lips, and more without a single incision.

Each type of Juvederm filler offers its own benefits. Juvéderm Voluma achieves youthful plumpness in the cheeks. At the same time, Juvéderm Volbella in Washington, DC, smooths nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and other creases, fills circles under the eyes, and achieves supple lips. Juvéderm Ultra is the gold standard for plump, full lips, and it provides volume while smoothing wrinkles. Juvéderm Ultra Plus is thicker and can be used to reduce deeper wrinkles and achieve a smooth, contoured jawline.

What Juvéderm Addresses

Cheeks [Juvéderm Voluma XC]

One of the latest developments, Juvéderm Voluma XC, can add volume to the cheek zone, with long-lasting results—up to two years before retreatment is needed. Adding subtle volume to the cheeks has a lifting effect on the lower face, an added benefit. Age-related volume loss is natural. As the skin thins and loses its firm, plump quality, it begins to droop and sag. With Juvéderm Voluma XC, you can restore lost volume to rejuvenate your facial appearance and watch the years drop away.

Lines and Wrinkles [Juvéderm Vollure XC and Juvéderm XC]

A smile is a beautiful thing, but it can create permanent facial creases, particularly as the skin ages and loses its supple quality. As deep creases appear from nose to mouth, the face begins to look older. These two products can “fill in” the creases and lines for a far fresher, more youthful look. No more lines and folds.

Fuller Lips [Juvéderm Ultra XC and Juvéderm Volbella XC]

Whether you were born with thinner lips or you are dismayed to see your lips lose volume as you age, you can restore a fresher, more youthful look with these two Juvéderm products. Juvéderm Ultra XC can add volume and plump thinner lips, while Juvéderm Volbella XC was developed to bring subtle volume to the lips and smooth unsightly lip lines.

A Liquid Facelift: Is it Real?

While a surgical Facelift is the only treatment that can resolve some cases of extreme facial sagging, for many patients, the use of Juvéderm can keep you looking young for many years longer. The concept behind a “liquid facelift” is to add back lost volume for a lifting effect. As you restore cheek volume, the mid-face is slightly elevated. When you fill laugh lines and wrinkles appearing around the mouth, or on the chin, you suddenly look younger, revitalized, and rejuvenated.

Youthful Lips Are Possible

As we age, our lips can become thinner, and vertical lip lines begin to appear. These small, vertical wrinkles form on your lip and on the skin just above it, which can cause you to look older than you are.

If you’re looking to achieve smooth, youthful, full lips and to rejuvenate the skin around your mouth, the ideal treatment is Juvéderm Volbella XC. Juvéderm Volbella XC is designed to achieve subtle volume in the lips, and this plumpness smooths away lip lines. Our Washington, DC, Volbella XC can also be injected into the skin around your mouth to rejuvenate your appearance further.

What To Expect: Your Juvéderm Treatment

Every person coming to our clinic will have a customized treatment plan. The first step is to evaluate the condition of your facial skin and listen to your concerns and what you hope to achieve. We will make recommendations about dermal fillers from Juvéderm, and which product should be used for each target area.

Your face will be numbed with a topical cream, which requires about 10 to 15 minutes to work. Once the area is numbed, the treatment begins. A very fine needle is used to inject the product into the lines and creases, or to plump the lips. It will require about an hour to complete the treatment for most patients. The results are visible immediately.

After Juvéderm Treatment

The treatment is very noninvasive, so side effects are minor. You may have some bruising or swelling, but it should be minimal and easily covered with cosmetics. Avoid sun exposure until your face feels normal, without any visible bruises or swelling. We provide all our patients with aftercare instructions to help them experience the benefits as quickly as possible, which is typically the following day. Have your treatment during lunch hour, or a few days prior to an important social event, and present your best self with the help of our Washington, DC, Juvéderm treatments.

"If more stars could be given, I would have no hesitation in making sure that everyone thinking about surgery with Dr. Chang will be confident of an excellent result that clearly exceeded my expectations. Pictures speak a thousand words, but everything on my "wish" list (keep it natural, raise the brow in select areas, achieve a clearly visible improvement) was easily met, and the result is a very happy patient who is happy to strongly recommend Dr. Chang. In fact, I have to say that in his care, I felt that his scrupulous attention to detail, his surgical approach, and comprehensive answers meant that I had full confidence in his abilities. Dr. Chang made it a thoroughly enjoyable procedure, and from the moment I entered the office (to a very warm and welcoming receptionist) through procedure planning, the actual operation, and then the follow-up care demonstrated a true dedication to patient care and satisfaction. I honestly did not think (given my age and a previous surgery) that I could realistically get my ideal result - but Dr. Chang delivered a result that blew past every possible and hoped-for outcome. Every question was answered, the instructions before and after surgery were easy to follow and explained fully, and I benefited from and greatly appreciated his superlative surgical skill set. Dr. Chang always took the time that the patient needed to understand all aspects of the procedure, and I will enjoy the benefits of his work in the years to come. I have told all my friends, so I do hope others will consider and meet with Dr. Chang. He was, in fact, the only surgeon recommended by my dermatologist of many years, and she was 100% correct in directing me to his door."

I cannot speak highly enough of this entire practice, but in particular, Monica, with whom I have had the pleasure of seeing most often over the years

I really respect how meticulous, thoughtful, and ethical Monica is in everything she does-including her patient education and consent process. I have a very low risk appetite when it comes to my face and health, and she always remembers that! She’s never forgotten what I told her years ago in my initial consultation, that my primary goal is conservative, virtually undetectable small changes with a neuro modulator to help improve how well rested and content I appear to be. I don’t want to change my natural facial features, I just don’t want to look as exhausted as I feel sometimes!

I arrived here with near total naïveté about 99% of aesthetics, and a nearly untouched face over five years ago, having only had medical Botox for migraine, and prescription topical retinoids before. However, I knew that one of my surgeons had entrusted this practice with his own wife, and that speaks volumes!

Carey has been working on my face for many years and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is not only highly skilled and knowledgeable in her field, but she also has a genuine care for her patients that sets her apart. From the moment I walked into the appointment, I felt completely at ease. Her attention to detail and expertise are unmatched, and it’s clear that she has a true eye for beauty. She took the time to thoroughly explain the process, listened to my concerns, and tailored the treatment to meet my individual needs. Her precision and artistry truly shine through in her work. She is the best choice!
