Juvederm softens the skin and draws moisture to the area. After treatment, results are often noticeable almost immediately. They also continue to improve for one to two weeks post-treatment. The majority of clients see impressive results for up to a year after only one treatment, minimizing any downtime you might experience and helping you to quickly enjoy healthier skin and optimal beauty.
Juvederm treatments are safe for most clients. One of the professionals at Adam and Eve Medical Aesthetics will meet with you to discuss your concerns, take a medical history and provide a facial analysis. At this time, we ask that you discuss any medical concerns, previous allergic reactions to lidocaine or other proteins used to create HAs and let us know if you are pregnant or nursing. This will help us to determine if JUVEDERM is safe and effective for you.
To reduce bruising and swelling, please discontinue over-the-counter aspirin, ibuprofen, vitamin D, vitamin E, flaxseed, fish oil, ginger, garlic, and ginkgo for one week prior to your appointment. Do not stop taking any prescription medications without first discussing this choice with your primary care physician. On the day of your treatment, avoid wearing any makeup to Adam and Eve Medical Aesthetics in Scottsdale.
The day of your appointment, plan to spend about an hour in the facility. This allows ample time for any paperwork, questions and to help you feel comfortable in our treatment room. Once in a treatment room, Nicole Le Renard or Rebecca Embry will strategically mark spots on your cheeks to indicate the ideal injection sites. Your skin will also be cleaned, and a topical anesthetic may be applied to enhance your comfort. Juvederm injections take only minutes. They typically cause little if any discomfort as the formulation includes lidocaine to help numb the area. The stunning results provided by JUVEDERM are noticeable almost immediately and last for about 6-9 months after your procedure.
To enhance the effectiveness of your Juvederm treatment session, do not apply pressure to the area for about 12 hours after your session. This could cause the filler to displace in the skin. It is also important to avoid vigorous activities for 24 hours after treatment. Some swelling and bruising is common, but it typically goes away after a few days. You can help manage it with ice packs placed gently against the skin. Avoid direct sunlight, and stay away from saunas or hot showers for 24-hours post-treatment. Exposure to heat can cause the blood vessels to dilate, increasing your chances of bruising or bleeding. Call Adam and Eve Medical Aesthetics with any questions or concerns.

When Juvederm or Juvederm Plus is injected into the skin, the gel immediately spreads to smooth lines and wrinkles. This produces near immediate results. However, it can take a few days to settle into its final position. This is most noticeable around the eye area. Most patients recognize full results within two weeks of treatment.
Juvéderm® injections can be used to enhance many different features, making it one of the most versatile injectable fillers currently available. It is currently approved for injection in the: Cheek area, Chin, Lips, Forehead, Perioral area (the area surrounding the mouth), and under the eyes. Because Juvéderm® has several concentrations and formulations to choose from, it’s an excellent option for a wide variety of patients. Depending on your specific beauty goals or concerns, your aesthetician can recommend a specific form for you. At Adam & Eve Medical Aesthetics, we focus on tailoring treatment to help you achieve the incredible results you want.
Juvéderm® can be used to:
– Reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and creasing
– Add youthful volume to cheeks
– Create definition in the chin area
– Treat hollows underneath the eyes
– Plump up lips
– Add natural facial contouring
– Improve the appearance of scars, including acne scarring
– And so much more
Juvéderm® lasts an average of nine to 12 months, though the exact time frame will vary by individual. The rate at which your body metabolizes the filler (part of a natural process) will affect how long your results last. Many of our patients opt to scheduled refresher appointments once or twice per year, ensuring that they maintain their beautiful, flawless skin and maximize their results.
On average, Juvéderm® in lips lasts between six and 12 months. Factors that can affect how long lip fillers last include the specific injection site and others. Typically, patients at Adam & Eve Medical Aesthetics visit us every three to six months for maintenance appointments. Depending on your preferences, you can talk to your aesthetician about the treatment plan that works best for you.
Juvéderm® is made of hyaluronic acid gel, which is a substance naturally produced by your body. In your skin, eyes, and connective tissue, there is a high concentration of hyaluronic acid. There, it helps retain the ideal amount of water for optimal hydration and volume – this is what keeps your skin looking gorgeously smooth and glowing. Because the makers of Juvéderm® use only a specialized, biosynthesized form of non-animal hyaluronic acid, it is completely allergen-free.
Yes, Juvéderm® is widely considered safe for use as an injectable filler. It became FDA-approved in 2006, and no serious side effects have been reported from its use as a filler. One of the biggest factors that draw our patients to Juvéderm® injections is that the formula is made from hyaluronic acid, which is an all-natural substance already produced by the body. Compared to other dermal fillers, Juvéderm® has similarly mild (and usually rare) side effects such as mild redness or temporary itching at the injection site.
Typically, patients report only minimal discomfort during the Juvéderm® procedure, if any. Although Juvéderm® is administered via injection, our aestheticians are highly trained and experienced. As a result, they are well-equipped to prioritize patient comfort and make the procedure a positive, pain-free experience.
Yes, Juvéderm® can be injected into the cheeks. It is commonly injected into the cheeks to restore volume, specifically for the treatment of a loss of volume related to aging. It is an excellent option for using in the cheeks to add subtle definition, eliminate sagging, and create a refreshed, more youthful appearance. Juvéderm® is also highly effective when injected in the perioral area (lower cheeks, near the mouth) to reduce wrinkles and deep lines.
Yes. Juvéderm® is formulated with hyaluronic acid, a compound that occurs naturally in your body. By replenishing your natural hyaluronic acid, Juvéderm® helps restore the appearance of healthy, youthful skin and decreases the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Temporary mild bruising is a possible side effect of Juvéderm®, specifically at the injection site. However, you can expect any bruising to fade fairly quickly.
Each patient responds in a different way to Juvederm or Juvederm Plus. Some will bruise and swell less than others. On average, any bruising will last from three to 14 days. To help prevent bruising and swelling or manage any bruising or swelling you do experience, carefully follow the pre and post-care instructions provided by Adam and Eve Medical Aesthetics.
During the Juvéderm® recovery process, there are only a few precautions to keep in mind to ensure optimal results. Your aesthetician will make sure you are aware of everything you should and should not do, ensuring that you feel completely comfortable before leaving. After getting Juvéderm® in your lips, you should:
– Wear sunscreen (we can recommend a lip balm with SPF if you need suggestions)
– Continue your makeup routine as normal
After Juvéderm® injections, you should minimize:
– Unnecessarily touching or massaging the treated area for a few days
– Strenuous exercise and extensive heat/cold exposure for the first 24 hours after treatment
– Unnecessary sun exposure for up to two weeks
– Using any products that contain alcohol on your lips and face
