Juvéderm® in Tulsa, OK

What Is Juvéderm®? How Does It Work?

Juvéderm® is an injectable dermal filler that plumps up the skin on your face with hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in your body, mainly in your joints, so the injectable isn’t introducing anything “foreign” into your system. The hyaluronic acid within Juvéderm® binds with water molecules in the skin’s cells to add volume beneath the surface. In addition, this process encourages collagen production, which promotes healthy-looking skin over time. While some results are immediate after treatment with Juvéderm®, most patients notice significant improvement two weeks post-treatment when swelling subsides.

Juvéderm® treats the following areas.

Cheeks

If age and gravity have reduced the volume in your cheeks, leading to sagging or a hollowed look, Juvéderm fills these areas to create a natural-looking and contoured surface.

Deep Lines

When the lines around your nose and mouth, often called parentheses, deepen with age, your Tulsa dentist injects the filler into these areas, smoothing the lines.

Lips

Whether you were born with thin lips or age has robbed them of their fullness, the dentist at Perfect Smile Tulsa can make up the difference with Juvéderm. This filler plumps lips and erases the tiny lines around your lips.

FAQs
Who is a good candidate for Juvéderm?

Generally, healthy adults who want to reduce signs of aging (wrinkles, loss of volume) or improve facial contours. Poor candidates may include those with active skin infections, multiple severe allergies, or those who are pregnant or breastfeeding (since safety in these cases is often not well-studied).

Can Juvéderm be dissolved if I don’t like the result?

Yes. Hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvéderm can often be dissolved using an enzyme called hyaluronidase. This is a big advantage for correction if something is asymmetrical, overfilled, or has an adverse effect.

What should I avoid before treatment?

Some recommendations: avoid excessive alcohol, blood thinners, or certain supplements (if advised by your provider) to reduce the risk of bruising; avoid having active infections or skin inflammation; discuss any medications you’re on. Also, avoid sunburns or severely damaged skin.

What should I avoid after treatment?

After the procedure, avoid strenuous exercise for 24-48 hours, heavy sun or heat exposure, aggressive massaging of the area unless instructed, drinking too much alcohol, etc., as these may increase swelling/bruising. Also, keep the area clean.

Is there an age limit?

Many of the formulations have recommended minimum ages (often adult, over 21, depending on the product). Also, older patients may have thinner skin or other health issues, which can affect results and risk.

How often do I need touch-ups?

Since the filler is gradually absorbed, you’ll need maintenance treatments. Depending on the product and area, touch-ups may be every 6-12 months, or longer if the product has longer action.

Can Juvéderm be dissolved if I don’t like the result?

Yes. Hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvéderm can often be dissolved using an enzyme called hyaluronidase. This is a big advantage for correction if something is asymmetrical, overfilled, or has an adverse effect.
