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?
