what is JUVÉDERM?
The hyaluronic acid filler, Juvéderm, is a great way to turn back the hands of time for smoother, more youthful-looking skin. This dermal filler is comprised of a naturally occurring substance in the body, hyaluronic acid, which is safely and easily absorbed into the skin. As a result, when Inland Empire plastic surgeon, Dr. Childers, and the experienced aestheticians inject Juvéderm, a patient can expect diminished lines and wrinkles around the mouth and nose. We also offer Voluma® XC which can be injected into lips for a fuller, natural-looking boost. The best part of Juvéderm is that you get great results with no downtime.
Juvéderm® Reviews
how is JUVÉDERM administered?
During your appointment, the areas of the injection sites will be marked and thoroughly cleaned prior to the treatment. With the possible comfort of local anesthesia and a numbing solution contained within Juvéderm, the filler will be injected into the skin. After each injection, light pressure and a cooling ointment are applied to the area. Other than feeling a tingling sensation and some visible redness in the areas of the injections, there are usually no other side effects. Most patients are able to return to work with no downtime after their 15-30 minute Juvéderm procedure.
What to Expect after JUVÉDERM treatment?
The majority of patients who receive Juvéderm will notice remarkable improvements after their very first treatment with results lasting up to one year. Patients are generally thrilled with the fast-acting, visible results that the injections provide. Since hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the human body, Juvéderm side effects are intriguingly minimal with no missed time from normal activity.
are there alternative fillers to JUVÉDERM?
Injectable fillers have made major advancements in the past two decades and offer a terrific cosmetic solution for patients who desire specific results without surgery.

Juvederm FAQs
Will The Injection Hurt?
The injection may cause some discomfort, although the size of the needle is very small. Lidocaine, a numbing solution, is contained within Juvederm to help diminish pain after the treatment. Our team will work hard to ensure patient comfort, and may choose to apply a local anesthetic to numb the area.
What Other Anti-Aging Options?
Although fillers have proved to be a terrific solution to make skin appear younger, there are other options to consider. Fat grafting, BOTOX and Dysport, as well as plastic surgery, all hold the potential to provide tremendous improvements to the skin. During the initial consultation, our team will discuss the comprehensive options and give recommendations for the absolute best procedure tailored to each patient’s desired outcome. This may include a combination of cosmetic treatments.
Will I Look 20 Again?
A Juvederm injection reduces fine lines and wrinkles for a softer appearance. While this product will not make you look 20 again, it will minimize the lines and wrinkles on the face, and provide a youthful glow that many patients desire. It is important to set realistic expectations. This will be discussed in detail during your consultation.
