Restore A Youthful You In Just One Appointment

Fillers are one of the most often administered treatments after BOTOX Cosmetic. Have you thought of why that may be the case? It is because fillers offer immediate results. Rather than just looking in the mirror and wishing that things could be different, you have the ability to change some of them without surgery.

Making the decision to have cosmetic treatments can be intimidating. Knowing that you could see outstanding results with no surgery, no downtime, and after just one appointment can make it easier. With Juvederm, the choice is easy. This family of HA dermal fillers can offer age-defying solutions for your entire face, including wrinkles, fine lines, creases, and volume loss.

Fillers offer a means of improvement that can appear to be subtle or profound. Performed in the safety of Dr. Friedlander’s office in New Jersey Juvederm can help to turn back the clock instantaneously, resulting in an immediate improvement and restored self-confidence.

What is Juvederm?

Board Certified Female Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Beverly Friedlander

Juvederm is a hyaluronic acid filler that restores natural facial contours to improve or reverse the signs of aging by hydrating and plumping the skin. Both men and women experience loss of facial volume, thinning of the skin, and the descent of facial tissues (skin, muscle, and fat) due to aging, gravity, sun damage, and genetics. By stimulating collagen and connective tissue, Juvederm can lessen or eliminate fine lines, deep wrinkles, and hollow areas of the face. Since HA is a compound naturally found in the body and the manufactured version is almost identical, it comes with almost no risk of allergic reaction or other serious side effects.

If you are looking for customized enhancement for a variety of aging concerns, look no further. NJ plastic surgeon, Dr. Friedlander, can use products from the Juvederm family alone or together to provide customized results and improvements in both your appearance and your self-image. Those seeking top-shelf cosmetic treatment in and around Short Hills, NJ, will find unmatched care and results at Dr. Bev's NJ med spa. The master injectors at True Beauty can give you the refined yet natural results you’re looking for.

What is a Filler?

BEVERLY FRIEDLANDER, MD

“Filler” is a term that was coined to identify what these products do. They restore the natural contours to the face and improve the signs of aging. Simply put, they fill the valleys known as wrinkles and fine lines. The most commonly used filler substance, hyaluronic acid (HA), is naturally found in the body. As we get older, the rate of production of natural HA and collagen decreases, resulting in the gradual onset of fine lines and wrinkles. Dermal fillers, such as Juvederm, are able to restore some of this loss, resulting in a more youthful appearance. They are different from BOTOX Cosmetic, which also treats fine lines and wrinkles. BOTOX reduces muscle contractions to treat dynamic lines, which are caused by repeated movement. Fillers like Juvederm address wrinkles and lines that are present at rest and caused by gravity and the natural aging process, also known as static lines.

What is an HA Filler?

Each filler behaves differently after being injected because of subtle differences in their structure and density. The result, however, is the same: plumper, more youthful skin with fewer, less noticeable wrinkles.

The largest group of fillers falls into the category of hyaluronic acids (HAs). These are a group of naturally found sugars in the body that plump or hydrate the skin by helping to replenish the natural volume. HA fillers like Juvederm are unique in that they can be dissolved with an enzyme called hyaluronidase if you are not happy with your results. When synthetically produced, this substance can be used in dermal fillers to provide volume in areas where it has been lost, lessen the appearance of lines and wrinkles, and restore moisture.

Hyaluronic Acid vs. Calcium Hydroxylapatite

HA fillers like Juvederm and Calcium Hydroxylapatite fillers like Radiesse are both based on naturally occurring bodily substances and can smooth wrinkles and restore volume. The great advantage of Juvederm and other HA fillers is that the results can be totally reversed using a reversal agent called hyaluronidase.

Am I a Candidate for Juvederm?

JUVEDERM IS APPROPRIATE FOR ADULTS WHO ARE NOT READY OR DO NOT FEEL AS THOUGH THEY REQUIRE SURGERY BUT ARE STILL INTERESTED IN MINIMIZING THE APPEARANCE OF FINE LINES AND WRINKLES AND RESTORING THE VOLUME LOST WITH AGE AND GRAVITY.

Since Juvederm is based on a naturally occurring substance, there is an extremely low risk for side effects making this a fantastic option for most people looking to reverse signs of facial aging.

Consultation and Preparation

How Do I Prepare for My Treatment?

A consultation is one of the first steps of the treatment. Our goal at a consultation is to determine exactly the right treatment for each of our patients. We will perform an examination of your skin and discuss your particular aesthetic goals. If we feel that Juvederm is a good fit, we will schedule your treatment session and provide you with details for preparation.

Dr. Friedlander asks that you stop all use of aspirin, NSAIDs, and any other blood thinners before your Juvederm treatment, as blood thinners can increase the chance of bruising.

You should also stop all tobacco use for at least four weeks before and after your treatment to minimize your chances of complications. Before your injections, a numbing agent will be placed on the site to increase comfort. All Juvederm products contain lidocaine, which further ensures there is little or no pain.

What Types of Juvederm Injections are There?

Juvederm is a modern gel filler known for its flexibility. It is manufactured by the creators of Botox and Latisse, and is intended to improve facial wrinkles and folds. It is available in several formulations.

Juvederm Volbella

Some individuals have naturally thin lips, whereas others experience the loss of lip fullness with age. Juvederm Volbella restores lip fullness and treats lines around the mouth. This is one of two fillers in the Juvederm family that is FDA approved to restore fullness around the mouth. This injectable is ideal for subtle lip enhancement and correction of “smoker’s lines.” Dr. Friedlander creates a natural appearance by injecting conservatively, which means you don’t have to worry about “duck lips” or being overfilled. As hyaluronic acid fillers attract moisture, you can be assured that your lips will maintain moisture and softness after your treatment.

Juvederm Ultra

Juvederm Ultra has a smooth gel consistency that allows it to flow smoothly and easily for the subtle improvement in superficial to moderate fine lines and wrinkles. It is hydrophilic, so it draws water into the tissue, helping to hydrate and smooth wrinkles. This injectable is ideal for vertical lines around the lips as well as more prominent nasolabial folds. It was the first filler to be FDA-approved for lip enhancement, and it will provide greater fullness than Juvederm Volbella./p>

Juvederm Ultra Plus

Juvederm Ultra Plus takes Juvederm Ultra up a notch to treat deeper, more severe lines and wrinkles. This injectable is ideal for deep nasolabial folds, smile lines, and other wrinkles in the mid and lower regions of the face. Juvederm Ultra Plus works by attracting water to the area so that the tissues remain hydrated. With this treatment, Dr. Friedlander can help you look more youthful and refreshed. Results with Juvederm Ultra Plus are known to last up to one year.

Juvederm Voluma

The cheeks are one of the most conspicuous places on the face for volume loss. As we age, the tissues in the midface lose their elasticity and begin to fall toward the jawline. This creates a hollow appearance in the cheeks. Juvederm Voluma restores volume to the cheek area. This injectable is denser than other forms of Juvederm, providing smooth, natural-looking fullness and allowing you to look and feel fresh-faced and rejuvenated. Juvederm Voluma offers some of the longest-lasting results, with effects showing for up to two years.

Juvederm Vollure

Moderate to severe wrinkles become more and more noticeable as the effects of aging continue. Whether the marionette lines around the corners of the mouth and chin, or the smile or laugh lines from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth, Juvederm Vollure targets these areas, providing a smoother and more youthful complexion. This specially designed injectable offers natural-looking results, restoring volume to the facial tissues and reducing the signs of aging.

Juvederm Volux

Juvederm Volux is an innovative injectable gel specifically designed to address the concerns of individuals experiencing moderate to severe loss of jawline definition. By adding volume to the lower face, this crystal-clear gel enhances the shape and structure of the jawline, resulting in a smoother and more defined appearance. With its ability to provide effective and natural-looking outcomes, Juvederm Volux is an excellent option for those seeking to enhance their facial profile and regain youthful contours.

Procedure

Most NJ Juvederm appointments last about 30 minutes or less. A topical numbing cream can be applied, and several Juvederm serums contain lidocaine for maximum comfort. Once your skin is prepped, the injection is administered into the treatment area using very fine, medical-grade needles. Your skilled and trained injector will ensure your predetermined treatment plan is completed accurately for the best possible outcomes.
