In Salinas, California, Juvederm® is one of the most popular dermal fillers for reducing signs of aging like smile lines, wrinkles, and volume loss. At Salinas Valley Plastic Surgery Associates™, our advanced Juvederm® treatments are performed by our highly trained Revitalessence™ injectors under the leadership of board-certified plastic surgeons Dr. Matthew L. Romans and Dr. Jeremy Silk.
Once injected, Juvéderm® reduces wrinkles and lines, resulting in smoother, younger-looking skin. It can fill in skinny lips and other areas of lost definition, such as tear troughs or temples. Juvéderm® lasts 6-9 months, and the procedure takes only a few minutes.
Patients who want to enjoy a youthful look with minimally invasive solutions are good candidates for Juvéderm® therapy. Any concerns regarding the ingredients in the injectables should be raised during your consultation. Patients who excessively smoke or drink are advised to quit or curb these habits before treatment for the best results.
Scheduling a consultation for a Juvéderm® treatment is necessary for patients to enjoy the full benefits of this safe and effective cosmetic solution. During your first visit, the target areas you have in mind will be examined to determine how best to tackle the issue. Questions about your medical history and medications will also be asked.
Be sure to ask any questions you may have at this time. If you’re approved for Juvederm®, we’ll then go over any preparatory steps you need to take before your scheduled procedure.
Your Juvederm® session will begin with the application of a topical numbing cream to ensure your comfort. Once the treatment area is properly prepared and cleaned, your skilled injector will use a fine needle to carefully inject the Juvederm® gel into the predetermined areas.
Once the injections are complete, we may massage the treated areas to ensure even product distribution. The entire Juvederm® procedure typically takes less than an hour, making it a fantastic “lunch break” treatment.
Following your Juvederm® appointment, avoid strenuous exercise, excessive sun exposure, and alcohol consumption for the first 24-48 hours. During your recovery, it’s also important to avoid touching or massaging the treated areas for at least 24 hours to allow the filler to settle properly. Patients with jobs that are not physically intense can return to work immediately after their sessions.
The price of Juvederm® therapy varies based on several factors, including the number of syringes needed, the specific areas being treated, and the complexity of your individual case. During your consultation, we’ll provide a detailed cost estimate tailored to your treatment plan and aesthetic goals.
Juvederm® is a dermal filler made of hyaluronic acid that adds volume and fills in wrinkles by plumping the skin, while Botox® is a neuromodulator that works by temporarily relaxing the muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles. Juvederm® is typically used for static wrinkles and volume loss, whereas Botox® is primarily used for expression lines caused by repeated muscle movement.
Juvederm® is typically best for addressing mild to moderate volume loss, fine lines, and wrinkles with minimal downtime. A facelift is generally recommended for more significant sagging skin, deep wrinkles, and comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
To discover how Juvederm® in Salinas can help you achieve a more youthful, refreshed appearance, we encourage you to schedule a consultation with our experienced team at Salinas Valley Plastic Surgery Associates™. Our skilled injectors will evaluate your unique needs and create a personalized treatment plan to help you look and feel your very best!
