Background on Juvederm™
Juvederm is made from hyaluronic acid, a natural element of the
body. It works in a similar way to Restylane® and Perlane® in that
the hyaluronic molecules bind to each other and to the water molecules
in the body to create volume and smooth out wrinkles. Proven to
be a safe and effective alternative to surgery, hyaluronic fillers
like Juvederm are the fastest growing nonsurgical aesthetic procedure
in the country, according to the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic
Surgery.
Juvederm contains no animal proteins, meaning that there is no
allergy test required before use. At Dr. Stout’s office, the procedure
usually takes about 15 to 20 minutes and results are immediate.
Patients are given the option of choosing between Juvederm Ultra,
used for versatility in contouring and volumizing facial wrinkles
and folds, and Juvederm Ultra Plus, a more robust formula used for
correcting deeper wrinkles.
As he does before administering BOTOX® Cosmetic, Dr. Stout carefully
observes your pattern of wrinkling or hollowness, or the natural
qualities of your face, before injecting Juvederm. This ensures
that your results will have the beautiful, natural look of treatments
tailored to your particular anatomy or patterns of aging. |

Where can Juvederm be used?
Juvederm is indicated for the correction of moderate to severe
facial wrinkles and folds, such as the nasolabial folds (the creases
running from the bottom of your nose to the corners of your mouth,
“smile lines). Dr. Stout, however, has found Juvederm to be effective
in other areas of the face, such as forehead and brow lines, adding
a small amount of volume to places where wrinkles have caused the
skin to lose its fullness.
Are Juvederm injections painful?
When injecting Juvederm, Dr. Stout uses a tiny needle so as to
limit the amount of discomfort patients experience. Most people
tolerate Juvederm quite easily during and after the procedure, but
for those who experience minor discomfort, cold compresses and anesthetic
cream are available.
How long does Juvederm last?
Juvederm is the only hyaluronic acid filler FDA approved to last
up to one year. Hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance
in mammals that helps hydrate and add volume to your skin, is highly
concentrated in Juvederm to provide results that are long-lasting
and appear natural.
What should I expect during a Juvederm treatment?
With Dr. Stout, the treatment typically takes 15 minutes, depending
on the number of areas where Juvederm is injected. If necessary,
Dr. Stout will use a numbing cream on the surface of the skin to
ensure the most comfortable experience for his patient. Once numb,
Dr. Stout uses an extremely fine needle to inject Juvederm into
the skin, adding volume to wrinkles and smoothing the surface of
the face. After the procedure, the patient may experience slight
redness or tenderness as often occurs with injections, though these
effects are temporary and resolve quickly.
Can people with different skin tones/colors be treated with Juvederm?
Yes. Juvederm is the only FDA approved hyaluronic filler that is
proven to be safe and effective for persons of color. Studies show
no increased risk of hyperpigmentation or hypertropic scarring in
patients of color.
Why should I choose Dr. Stout for Juvederm injections?
As an oculoplastic surgeon with over twenty years of experience,
Dr. Stout is well acquainted with the aesthetics and anatomy of
the eyes and face. He is trained to look at the unique patterns
of wrinkling in each of his patients and individually tailor his
Juvederm treatment to match their needs. Dr. Stout is also known
in the medical community for providing his patients with natural,
refreshed results that do not appear “overdone,” making him the
ideal candidate for your Juvederm procedure.
