About Juvederm
top of page
Juvederm is a facial filler made from hyaluronic acid (HA). Hyaluronic acid is a substance that naturally exists in the human body, and helps to add volume and hydrate the skin. HA has been in use for over 20 years for to aid movement in arthritic joints as well as for wound repair and eye surgeries. Juvederm is the first hyaluronic acid dermal filler that has demonstrated its safety and effectiveness in persons of color. Studies with Juvederm showed no increased risk of hyperpigmentation or hypertrophic scarring in patients of color.
The Juvederm Los Angeles injection process takes only about 15 minutes. You'll also need to allow time to consult with the doctor prior to a Juvederm Los Angeles treatment, but from beginning to end, many patients are able to work it in on their lunch break or on their way to/from work.
The Juvederm XC formulation is the main type we use for our Los Angeles Juvederm patients, as it is enhanced for patient comfort with lidocaine. The effects of the lidocaine takes place in seconds and means most patients no longer require a dental block.

Juvederm comes in two formulations so that treatment can be customized to meet your individual needs. Juvederm Ultra can be used for lip enhancement, as well as contouring and volumizing facial folds and wrinkles. Juvederm Ultra Plus is more robust, and therefore is ideal for correcting deeper folds and wrinkles.

Dr Yamini listens carefully to his patients because most patients desire very natural and subtle enhancement of the lips. Only 1/4 of a syringe of Juvederm was used in this case. Juvederm is the smoothest and longest lasting product, which makes it ideal for the lips. This is very similar to a Restylane injection. Juvederm XC has a numbing effect so the procedure is comfortable and does not require separate numbing injections and can be done with only numbing cream. |
