JUVÉDERM® in Las Vegas, NV

Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in the skin that works to keep the skin moist and agile. As we age, this valuable component naturally decreases. Juvederm is a hyaluronic acid-based filler that replenishes lost volume and improves the outer appearance of the skin. The Juvéderm family of injectable treatments provides a convenient, nonsurgical, long-lasting solution for reducing wrinkles and fine lines and restoring a youthful, healthy appearance. At Couture Dermatology & Plastic Surgery in Las Vegas, Dr. Marvin Spann will help you decide the best option to get the results you want. There are several Juvéderm filler options to consider depending on the condition of your skin.

Juvéderm® Injectable Gel is a gel implant that includes hyaluronic acid, a natural complex sugar that bolsters skin elasticity, providing a smooth and supple appearance. It improves patients’ appearance by lifting and adding volume to the wrinkles and folds in the treatment area. Juvéderm Injectable Gel may last up to one year.

Juvéderm Ultra Plus

Juvéderm® Ultra Plus is very similar to Juvéderm Ultra in that they both use hyaluronic acid to promote skin elasticity, giving skin a smoother, more youthful look. Juvéderm Ultra Plus also lasts up to one year. The difference is that Juvéderm Ultra Plus is most effective on deeper furrows and wrinkles of the face and nasolabial folds.

Juvéderm XC

Juvéderm® XC is the newest formula of Juvéderm. It is designed to enhance a patient’s comfort. Juvéderm® XC is a hyaluronic acid-based gel with all the effectiveness of Juvéderm Ultra and Juvéderm® Ultra Plus, providing natural-looking, taut skin. The only difference is that Juvéderm XC includes an anesthetic to keep patients comfortable during the procedure. The effects of lidocaine take place in seconds, so after a Juvéderm XC treatment, patients can return to their daily activities with ease.

During your appointment, the areas of the injection sites will be marked and thoroughly cleaned prior to the treatment. With the possible comfort of local anesthesia and a numbing solution contained within Juvederm, the filler will be injected into the skin. After each injection, light pressure and a cooling ointment are applied to the area. Other than feeling a tingling sensation and some visible redness in the areas of the injections, there are usually no other side effects. Most patients are able to return to work with no downtime after their 15-30 minute Juvederm procedure.

The majority of patients who receive Juvederm will notice remarkable improvements after their very first treatment with results lasting up to one year. Patients are generally thrilled with the fast-acting, visible results that the injections provide. Since hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the human body, Juvederm side effects are intriguingly minimal with no missed time from normal activity.

The average cost for a syringe of Juvederm starts at $700. The cost will vary based on the size of the area and the desired result.

Injectable fillers have made major advancements in the past two decades and offer a terrific cosmetic solution for patients who desire specific results without surgery. While hyaluronic acid fillers are a great choice for many patients, there are others to choose from that can garner youthful, smooth skin. Common filler procedures include those that are comprised of collagen, calcium hydroxyapatite, and polylactic acid. During your consultation, we will discuss the various fillers that are available today and will work to understand your aesthetic goals so that the best filler choice can be made.

The injection may cause some discomfort, although the size of the needle is very small. Lidocaine, a numbing solution, is contained within Juvederm to help diminish pain after the treatment. Our team will work hard to ensure patient comfort, and may choose to apply a local anesthetic to numb the area.

Although fillers have proved to be a terrific solution to make skin appear younger, there are other options to consider. Fat grafting, BOTOX and Dysport, as well as plastic surgery, all hold the potential to provide tremendous improvements to the skin. During the initial consultation, our team will discuss the comprehensive options and give recommendations for the absolute best procedure tailored to each patient’s desired outcome. This may include a combination of cosmetic treatments.

A Juvederm injection reduces fine lines and wrinkles for a softer appearance. While this product will not make you look 20 again, it will minimize the lines and wrinkles on the face, and provide a youthful glow that many patients desire. It is important to set realistic expectations. This will be discussed in detail during your consultation.
