JUVÉDERM® in Shreveport, LA
Some of the most common cosmetic frustrations include the presence of wrinkles and fine lines as well as volume loss in the face. These age-related issues often make us look much older than we actually are (and certainly older than we want to look).
Dermal fillers offer cosmetic correction to many of these facial concerns. One of the most trusted and well-known dermal filler brands is JUVÉDERM®.
The JUVÉDERM® line of cosmetic fillers helps to correct wrinkles and creases in the skin and restore facial volume in areas like the cheeks and under the eyes, where volume loss may cause you to look old and gaunt. The active ingredient in JUVÉDERM® injectables is hyaluronic acid (HA), which attracts and retains moisture in the skin, helping to rid you of unsightly lines and volume loss.
After your JUVÉDERM® treatment, you can look forward to achieving a more rejuvenated facial aesthetic that will have you looking youthful and feeling confident.
What Are the Benefits of JUVÉDERM®?
Smoother Skin
One of the most detrimental parts of sun damage and aging is the loss of collagen and elastin. This is significant, since collagen and elastin are responsible for the strength, health, and youthful elasticity of our skin.
The HA in JUVÉDERM® dermal fillers helps promote collagen and elastin production as well as fill in these facial lines to give you smoother skin that you can see and feel.
Restored Volume
As the production of collagen, elastin, and other proteins in the facial skin slows down, many men and women find that they suffer from thinness in areas of the face. When this happens, you can look worn-out, tired, and much older than you are.
However, because the HA in JUVÉDERM® fillers retains moisture, volume is restored, which gives you a fuller, more youthful facial appearance.
Improved Confidence
Wrinkles, fine lines, and volume loss, can make many men and women feel self-conscious about the way their faces look. While you can try to hide these cosmetic issues with makeup, accessories, or clothing, the reality is that these issues are still there.
The good news is that after your JUVÉDERM® injectable treatment, you can find yourself feeling proud and more confident in the way your face looks. No longer will you feel worried about the way other people see your face.
What JUVÉDERM® Fillers Are Offered?
JUVÉDERM® Ultra XC
This dermal filler helps correct mild to moderate wrinkles close to the surface of the skin, which means that it is a great option for more delicate features of the face, such as the skin around the lips. However, this filler can be used to restore volume in deep nasolabial folds (the lines that stretch from the nose to the corners of the mouth).
JUVÉDERM® Ultra Plus XC
This filler allows for a deeper injection than many others. Because of this, it can correct more prominent and extensive wrinkles and creases. This filler is primarily used in the middle and lower areas of the face to correct issues like nasolabial folds and smile lines. It can also be used to add more youthful volume to the cheeks.
JUVÉDERM® VOLUMA® XC
This cosmetic filler is used to add volume to the cheeks. After your treatment, you can look forward to a lifted facial appearance as well as more defined contours in the mid face.

What Is a JUVÉDERM® Treatment Like?
-
Step 1: Consultation
One of the most important steps in your JUVÉDERM® treatment is your consultation. At your JUVÉDERM® consultation, you will be able to explain your aesthetic concerns to your injectable provider. Your skincare specialist will evaluate your facial condition to determine which JUVÉDERM® option is right for you. At your consultation, you will also have the opportunity to ask any questions you may have about the treatment.
-
Step 2: Session
JUVÉDERM® dermal fillers include lidocaine as an ingredient, which is a local anesthetic. Because of this, patients do not require anesthesia for the injection treatment.
Your injectable provider will inject the JUVÉDERM® hyaluronic acid filler into your skin. The number of injections is dependent on the extent of correction needed.
The treatment session can take anywhere from 20 to 60 minutes to complete.
-
Step 3: Additional Sessions
While you only need one JUVÉDERM® treatment session to achieve optimal results, dermal fillers do not offer permanent correction.
Depending on the type of JUVÉDERM® treatment, your results can last up to two years. Because of this, additional injection treatments will be required to maintain your results.
Concerns
Recovery
There is no required downtime after your JUVÉDERM® treatment, which means that you can return to your normal, daily activities immediately following your session. However, you will likely experience some redness and swelling in the injection sites. Other immediate side effects include: bruising, soreness, pain, firmness, lumps, and itching, though these should all dissipate within a few days.
Results
You can look forward to seeing immediate improvement to your facial skin after your JUVÉDERM® injections. This means that your skin can look fuller, smoother, and more aesthetically pleasing. However, your final results will not become apparent until two weeks after your treatment.
With proper maintenance treatments and a healthy lifestyle (proper diet, regular exercise, and a consistent skincare routine), you can look forward to prolonging your results.
Pain
Because lidocaine is an active ingredient in the JUVÉDERM® injections, many patients report little to no pain during their treatment.
Scars
The JUVÉDERM® treatment is an injectable procedure, which means that you will not experience any scarring.
