JUVÉDERM® in Lutz, FL

As we age, our faces naturally lose volume which can lead to sagging skin and wrinkles. This lack of volume can also occur due to significant weight loss or can sometimes be congenital. At Phoenix Medspa in Lutz, FL, regardless of the source of your loss of volume, we can treat these concerns with JUVÉDERM.

JUVÉDERM is designed to address signs of aging or lack of contour by restoring volume to the face in areas such as the cheeks, lips, and around the mouth. Its formulation helps smooth lines and lift areas that have hollowed over time. This treatment can help rejuvenate your appearance and give a more youthful contour to your facial features.

What Is JUVÉDERM? 

JUVÉDERM filler is a gel-based substance primarily composed of hyaluronic acid, a natural compound that supports skin hydration and elasticity. This filler is carefully injected into targeted areas of the face. By integrating with your existing facial tissues, JUVÉDERM filler enhances contours and reduces the appearance of lines and wrinkles, providing a subtle yet effective rejuvenation.

What Can JUVÉDERM Treat? 

  • Facial Wrinkles: JUVÉDERM treatment is adept at smoothing out facial wrinkles, providing a more refined and youthful appearance. The filler fills in the spaces where the skin has lost its elasticity and volume.
  • Nasolabial Folds: These are the lines that run from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth. JUVÉDERM can be injected along these folds to soften their appearance, making them less pronounced.
  • Marionette Lines: These lines that extend downward from the corners of the mouth can create a downturned expression. JUVÉDERM helps lift and fill these areas.
  • Lips: JUVÉDERM lip filler is specifically formulated to enhance lip volume and define the borders of the lips. It adds fullness and shape, achieving a balanced and aesthetically pleasing look.
  • Cheeks: Loss of volume in the cheeks can make the face look older than it is. JUVÉDERM is effective at restoring this lost volume and provides a lifted and contoured cheek appearance.
  • Chin Reshaping: For those looking to refine their chin’s silhouette, JUVÉDERM can be strategically placed to sculpt the lower face and enhance the overall facial structure.
  • Under-Eye Hollows: This treatment is also beneficial for filling under-eye hollows, which can often make a person look tired. JUVÉDERM rejuvenates this area and brightens the overall facial expression.

Frequently Asked Questions About JUVÉDERM

The effects of JUVÉDERM can last between one and two years, depending on the specific product used and the area treated. Factors such as the patient’s metabolism, the area of injection, and the amount used also influence the longevity of the results. Regular follow-up treatments can help maintain the desired appearance.

There is minimal downtime after a JUVÉDERM treatment. Patients can return to their normal activities almost immediately. It’s common to experience some swelling or bruising at the injection site, but this resolves within a few days.

To prepare for a JUVÉDERM filler session, avoid medications and supplements that can thin the blood, such as aspirin and fish oil, for a week prior to treatment to reduce bruising. Make sure to stay hydrated and avoid alcoholic beverages for 24 hours before the session. Arriving with a clean face free of makeup will also facilitate a smoother treatment.

JUVÉDERM is suitable for patients of all Fitzpatrick skin types seeking non-surgical solutions to enhance facial features or restore volume. Ideal candidates are those who are not pregnant, do not have allergies to the product’s ingredients, and are looking for a quick and effective treatment to improve their facial aesthetics without significant downtime.

Skincare Products for Hyperpigmentation:

The Importance of the Daily Routine

Skincare treatments can make a significant difference in treating and preventing hyperpigmentation, but the products you use between your treatments matter just as much. Daily skincare is essential to treat and prevent discoloration, but you must use the right products. Topical products with anti-aging and skin-perfecting ingredients that promote a uniform skin tone can improve your complexion and help you maintain your treatment results.

When we design our treatment plans, we curate a selection of skincare products for each client that coincide with their skin type and concerns. These professional products can simultaneously address imperfections, aging, and other skin conditions while treating hyperpigmentation. We also offered client-specific formulations via prescriptions at a local compounding pharmacy to target discoloration and safely produce results.

JUVÉDERM Technology and Innovation

JUVÉDERM has led the way in cosmetic fillers by incorporating lidocaine early into its hyaluronic acid formula. It was also the first filler approved by the FDA for use in the chin, under-eye hollows, and jawline. With Vycross® Technology, JUVÉDERM combines high and low molecular-weight HA, creating a gel that integrates smoothly into the skin and lasts longer with less swelling. This makes it ideal for contouring areas like the cheeks and jawline with precision and flexibility​

What Makes JUVÉDERM Different Than Other Fillers?

JUVÉDERM’s smooth gel consistency allows for natural-looking results that blend seamlessly into the skin, offering subtle or more defined enhancements. Its range of products makes it versatile for various areas, from soft lip plumping to structured facial contouring. Products like VOLUMA XC provide long-lasting results—up to two years in the cheeks—outperforming many other fillers. JUVÉDERM’s inclusion of lidocaine also enhances patient comfort during the treatment.

Pre-Treatment Tips for JUVÉDERM Filler

Before your JUVÉDERM filler treatment, spend some time thinking about the type of results you want. When you sit down for a consultation with us, we will talk to you about whether the results you are hoping for are possible with your facial structure. We can also discuss how subtle or dramatic you want your results to be so that we know how much filler to inject.  If you’re prone to cold sores, let us know, as we might suggest taking an antiviral medication to prevent an outbreak. Staying hydrated and coming to the appointment with a clean face (no makeup or skincare products) is also helpful​.

What to Expect During Your Treatment

During your JUVÉDERM treatment, we’ll clean the treatment area and may apply numbing cream or use other methods to reduce discomfort. Since JUVÉDERM fillers contain lidocaine, most patients experience only mild discomfort during the first injections. We’ll use a fine needle or cannula to inject the filler in small amounts, carefully sculpting the area to achieve the desired look. Depending on the area being treated, the process typically takes about 15 to 30 minutes. You’ll be able to see immediate results and look immediately refreshed.

Post-Treatment Tips for JUVÉDERM

After your JUVÉDERM filler treatment, avoid heavy workouts, excessive sun or heat exposure, and alcohol for 24 hours. We also recommend not touching, massaging, or applying pressure to the treated areas for at least 24 to 48 hours to allow the filler to settle properly. You should use gentle skincare products, especially in the injected areas, staying away from products that could irritate the skin such as harsh cleansers or exfoliators.

Ideal candidates are those who are not pregnant, do not have allergies to the product’s ingredients, and are looking for a quick and effective treatment to improve their facial aesthetics without significant downtime.

You’ll notice an immediate difference right after treatment, but keep in mind that swelling or redness might occur initially. Over the next few days, as any swelling subsides, the filler will settle, and you’ll start seeing more defined results. It generally takes about one to two weeks for the final look to fully develop.

The smooth, gel consistency of JUVÉDERM filler integrates well with your skin, allowing for natural movement and expression. Whether enhancing volume or smoothing lines, the filler works with your facial structure rather than against it, making adjustments subtle and refined. Treatments are personalized, so we focus on maintaining the natural contours of your face, ensuring enhancements look balanced rather than artificial​.

Choosing the Right Injector for JUVÉDERM Treatments

Who you choose to perform your JUVÉDERM treatment matters just as much as the filler itself. A skilled injector understands how to apply the filler in a way that enhances your features while keeping everything looking natural. It’s important to work with someone who has the right medical training and knows how to safely and effectively use dermal fillers. Board-certified professionals, especially those with extensive experience, are your best option because they’ve gone through advanced training and stay updated on the latest techniques​.
