Dermal filler therapy is a minimally invasive procedure, which means no surgery is required. Each solution contains a gel made from hyaluronic acid designed to “fill in” your wrinkles from underneath the skin. The volumizing solution comes in different formulas to treat different types of wrinkles in adults.
The procedure can take as little as 15 minutes or as long as 1 hour. This depends on how many injections you’re getting, as well as the area being treated. You might feel a slight prickly sensation with each injection, but these aren’t meant to be painful. Most formulations contain Lidocaine to reduce injection pain at the same locations.
Results of Juvéderm injections may be seen instantly since the mechanism of action is to place a material that stretches and fills gaps and wrinkles in your skin.
