Request an AppointmentWhat Is JUVÉDERM®?
JUVÉDERM® is a well-established line of injectable dermal fillers that use hyaluronic acid gel to restore lost volume and hydration to the tissues beneath your skin. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body that provides moisture, softness, and youthful volume. Each product in the JUVÉDERM® family has a different degree of firmness and lift, allowing your provider to choose the right gel for each area and achieve the most natural result. Most JUVÉDERM® fillers contain lidocaine for enhanced comfort.

What Do JUVÉDERM® and Other HA Fillers Treat?
Hyaluronic acid fillers work beneath the skin’s surface to smooth wrinkles and other signs of aging. Our team selects the right filler for concerns such as:
- Nasolabial folds or parentheses lines
- Moderate to severe facial folds
- Sunken or flattened cheeks
- Tear troughs, to minimize sunken lower lids or the look of under-eye bags
- Wrinkles around the nose and mouth
- Marionette lines and downturned mouth corners
- Pre-jowl hollows and the jawline, to reduce the appearance of jowls
- Thin or uneven lips
How Does JUVÉDERM® Work?
Over time, age, gravity, and sun exposure cause the tissues beneath the skin to break down. This volume loss leads to deep folds, hollows, and sagging cheeks. JUVÉDERM® and other hyaluronic acid gels restore that lost volume and smooth away signs of aging, renewing the youthful contour of your face in a single treatment session.
What to Expect From Treatment
During your consultation, one of our skin care professionals examines your skin, listens to your cosmetic concerns, and creates an individualized treatment plan. Injections take between 15 and 60 minutes depending on the areas treated. You can return to normal activities right away, but you should avoid wearing makeup and strenuous activity for at least 24 hours.
Results often appear immediately and can last one to two years depending on the product and area. Side effects are typically mild and may include swelling, redness, bruising, or soreness. At HK Dermatology, bruising is minimized by using micro-cannulas to inject filler in most areas. Should a bruise develop, it can usually be rapidly minimized with one to three treatments with one of our lasers.
Side Effects and Safety
The most common side effects of dermal fillers include temporary bruising, redness, swelling, tenderness, and itching at the injection site. These usually resolve within several days to a week. A rare but serious risk of any filler is unintentional injection into a blood vessel, which can cause skin damage or, very rarely, vision problems. Seek immediate medical attention if you notice unusual pain, vision changes, skin blanching near the injection site, or signs of a stroke during or after treatment. Choosing an experienced medical team significantly reduces these risks.
Complementary Treatments
For comprehensive rejuvenation, JUVÉDERM® is often combined with Botox for expression lines and Morpheus8 for skin tightening. We also offer biostimulatory fillers such as RADIESSE® and Sculptra®, along with Restylane® and other options on our cosmetic fillers page. Review our patient instructions before your visit.
