Juvéderm® dermal fillers are made from hyaluronic acid (HA) and are injected into the upper layers of skin tissue to provide a variety of improvements, including:
Fillers are often ideal for addressing early aging symptoms, enhancing facial features, and rejuvenating your appearance without surgery or extensive downtime. Some of the key concerns fillers address are:
Hyaluronic acid, a substance found in all living organisms, is a key ingredient in injectable fillers used to correct fine lines and wrinkles in the skin. It is one of the components of the skin that gives fullness to the tissues. Hyaluronic acid is identical to human HA but is formed in the laboratory. It does not come from animals or humans, so allergic reactions are rare, and test dosing is not needed. Hyaluronic acid is approved by the FDA and has been used since 1996 worldwide. The body eventually absorbs the filler, so the results of the injection cannot be considered permanent.
Hyaluronic acid injections produce results similar to collagen injections but last about twice as long and have fewer allergic reactions. It works differently than BOTOX Cosmetic (which weakens muscle activity) but may be used in conjunction with BOTOX to treat stubborn areas.
People with early signs of aging or those who aren’t interested in surgery may benefit from a combination of dermal fillers and BOTOX® called a liquid facelift. This comprehensive facial rejuvenation treatment takes advantage of each treatment’s benefits, which include:
Advanced aging may require surgery such as a facelift and neck lift.
Lip injections are a popular treatment option for adults of all ages who want to enhance the appearance of their lips. Learn more about lip injections on our lip fillers page.
Our surgeons are uniquely talented and share a dedication to providing our patients the type of personalized care that has established Plastic Surgeons of Alaska as the premier practice in the state.
Request My ConsultationA strong, well-defined jawline is an important part of your face’s frame, adding balance to your other facial features. Yet as we age, sagging skin, jaw muscle loss, and accumulating fat in the upper neck cause us to lose that vital jaw contour. As the first filler approved by the FDA to improve moderate to severe jawline definition, Juvéderm Volux® XC addresses those concerns, sculpting your jaw to the look you want. The filler lasts up to 12 months and is an excellent complement to other facial fillers.
Using a fine needle or cannula, your provider injects filler into the targeted wrinkles or areas where volume is needed. Using their training and experience, our plastic surgeons use dermal fillers to reverse the signs of aging, softening and improving skin’s appearance to help you look your best. The results are instant and natural-looking.
Filler results can last 6 months to 2 years, depending on the filler used and the area treated. Your metabolism can also affect the duration of your filler results.
As with any medical treatment, there are associated risks. These include but are not limited to the following.
As with any cosmetic procedure, there is no guarantee that you will be satisfied with the treatment results. There is no guarantee that wrinkles and folds will be treated effectively with only one injection: multiple injections may be required to achieve the desired result. Even the best results are only temporary; repeat injections may be necessary as early as every 6 months.
Alternatives to dermal filler injections include:
Costs of treatment complications may not be covered by your medical insurance.
Our experienced injectors use only FDA-approved dermal fillers and carefully screen each patient before treatment, making these injections very safe. JUVÉDERM and other HA fillers are reversible if you are not happy with your results.
To minimize swelling and bruising and attain the best-looking results, elevate your head with an extra pillow or two while sleeping for the first 24 to 48 hours.
Fillers can be a simple, no-downtime solution for patients with an appropriate facial bone structure who want to add definition and do not have significant laxity or jowling. Jawline fillers can enhance the results of cheek fillers and other nonsurgical treatments to balance and contour facial features.
Yes, although you may need to space out treatments. Combining JUVÉDERM with microneedling provides optimal rejuvenation, with the filler lifting and volumizing the skin and microneedling boosting your skin’s natural collagen production. During your med spa consultation, we’ll explore which treatments will benefit you and recommend how to time your treatments for safe, glowing results.
The majority of dermal fillers contain lidocaine to minimize any discomfort during treatment. While fillers aren’t considered painful, patients typically experience a slight pinch and mild pressure at the injection sites during treatment. Ice packs can be applied post-treatment to help with minor bruising or swelling.
