JUVÉDERM® in Frisco, TX

As people age, the skin’s natural moisturizer, which is known as hyaluronic acid (HA), begins to deplete. Without this important substance to keep the skin firm and supple, individuals begin to see evidence of wrinkles, especially around the nose and mouth. Juvéderm can fill out the sagging that causes wrinkles to give the skin a smoother, firmer appearance. Because everyone’s skin is different, Juvéderm is a great choice for wrinkle treatment. Juvéderm can be used to fill out a number of different areas where wrinkles can form, such as smile lines on either side of the mouth or lip wrinkles that form around the edge of the lips. Juvéderm can help restore the natural contours to the face. Frisco/Plano, TX cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Robert Najera, offers Juvéderm for patients seeking a nonsurgical wrinkle treatment.

Dr. Najera will inject a thin needle with Juvéderm into the areas being treated. Most patients feel little to no discomfort from the needle, but numbing cream may be used if needed. After the injections, Dr. Najera will massage the filler to help it spread evenly into the injected areas. Juvéderm will cause temporary redness and tingling at the injection sites, but patients rarely complain of other side effects. Most Juvéderm procedures take 30 minutes, then patients must rest for 15-30 minutes before returning to their regular activities. Patients should not exercise for at least a day after the treatment.

A session of Juvéderm typically costs $400 -  $1,000, depending on how much of the product is needed to attain the desired results.

Juvéderm is a hyaluronic based derma filler that is made up of a gel-like material that also contains lidocaine (a numbing agent) for greater injection comfort. A single injection of Juvéderm can provide improvement for up to a full year.

While there are various surgical options for counteracting the effects of facial aging, some patients prefer a nonsurgical alternative. You may only have minor wrinkles and sagging that doesn’t need surgical intervention or you may simply prefer a less invasive technique. With the help of Juvéderm, the skin can have a youthful look without surgery.

Juvéderm results last for a long time, plus they are extremely smooth and natural looking in appearance. Juvéderm has been shown to be safe, and we can customize the results per the patient’s desires. There are two different formulations of Juvéderm, which means more personalized treatment planning for excellent results.
