Juvéderm San Diego
Juvéderm® San Diego Overview
Juvéderm is a smooth gel injectable dermal filler that improves skin elasticity by supplementing your body’s hyaluronic acid –a naturally-occurring substance in the body that keeps skin plump and hydrated.
Juvéderm is used by our injection experts in San Diego to not only effectively soften deep folds and lines that develop over time in the face but to also shape the face with new contours and definition by restoring lost volume without surgery.
Officially approved by the FDA for the treatment of nasolabial folds in the face (also known as “smile lines”), Juvéderm is also commonly used to give you fuller, plumper lips that look and feel natural.

Juvéderm Voluma
Our medical spa also offers patients Juvederm Voluma, which is an FDA-approved treatment to restore lost volume to the mid-face, cheek, cheekbone, and chin area without surgery. Ask our dermatologists which type of treatment for Juvéderm is right for you!
Juvéderm Vollure XC
Juvéderm’s latest hyaluronic acid dermal filler is called Vollure XC, which received FDA approval in 2016. Vollure is a game-changing dermal filler treatment that is formulated specifically to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and lines, particularly the nasolabial folds around the nose and mouth.
The HA gel dermal filler has a thicker consistency that is perfectly suited to lift and support creases and folds from deep in the skin, achieving improved volume and an overall more youthful appearance.
Juvéderm Volbella
Juvéderm Volbella uses a new, patented hyaluronic acid (HA) formula called Vycross that absorbs less water, resulting in reduced swelling compared to other HA products without this revolutionary technology. Volbella dermal filler is incredibly smooth and soft, which makes it ideal for lip augmentation as well as treating the delicate under-eye area, reducing dark circles, hollows, and under-eye bags.
Volbella also contains the numbing agent lidocaine, which helps reduce the mild tingling or stinging sensation that many patients experience with each lip enhancement or wrinkle-smoothing treatment.
Juvéderm Volux
Juvederm Volux, offers a non-surgical option for restoring volume and enhancing contours of the jawline and chin. Thicker and denser than other Juvederm fillers, Juvederm Volux is the perfect product for sculpting, lifting, and adding structure to the lower face. It creates smooth contours along the jawline, reduces the appearance of jowls, and creates a more refined definition between the jaw and neck, resulting in a more youthful appearance.

Benefits of Getting Juvederm in San Diego
Lip Augmentation Juvéderm Treatment
As one of the most attractive features on the face, the lips can greatly enhance your overall appearance. Thinning lips and frown lines, however, can make your face look older and unhappy. Juvéderm is one of your best treatment options for non-surgical lip augmentation. Its HA composition is well suited for the lips, specifically, it can provide benefits for those who have:
- Thin or flat lips
- Small lips
- Drooping lips
- Asymmetrical lips
- Wrinkles around the mouth
The goal of dermal fillers for the lips is to add volume and hydration to the lips without surgery, giving them a fuller appearance with fewer lines and no downtime. Many patients enjoy getting instant plump lips (without distorting the natural lip lines and borders, as well as facial proportions), natural hydration of the lips from within, and fewer wrinkles around the mouth.
Juvéderm Under The Eyes
Juvéderm is a great no surgery choice for treating the tear trough and orbital hollowing. A series of injections will be placed under your eyes, simulating the appearance of thicker pads beneath your skin.
Facial Shaping With Juvéderm
Juvéderm can alter the contours and definition of your face through precise injections placed in the cheekbones, chin, and jawline. It can also add volume to hollow temples or reshape the eyes and nose without any surgery.
Jawline Contouring With Juvéderm
The accurate placement of Juvéderm at the mandibular angle, the peri-jowl region, and chin can recreate a youthful and structured jawline.
Juvéderm For Chin Augmentation
The chin is one of the face’s defining features, creating a more prominent shape to the face and neck. But with aging, the chin tends to lose projection. Juvéderm can treat this by adding volume beneath the skin and modestly enhancing the chin without the need for any implants or surgery.
Non-Surgical Nose Job With Juvéderm
Juvéderm can give you many of the desired results of a traditional rhinoplasty, without the pain, surgery, or downtime that comes with the surgical procedure. A non-surgical rhinoplasty is performed using a series of injections made at the bridge, mid-point, and tip of the nose to correct bumps, lumps, and curves, making your nose look smaller and instantly transforming your entire profile.
Juvéderm vs. Botox
Although both Botox and Juvéderm produce excellent rejuvenating results without the need for surgery, each treatment works in a different way. While Botox works to relax muscle movement that may cause wrinkles, Juvéderm fills in fine lines and wrinkles by replacing lost hyaluronic acid.
Therefore, Juvéderm allows your dermatologist to simultaneously reduce lines in the skin while restoring a full, youthful appearance to the face. And while Botox takes 1-7 days to see full effects that can last approximately 3-4 months, Juvéderm results are immediate and can last 6 months up to 2 years.
Juvéderm and Botox are often used together to create a liquid facelift, or as part of a comprehensive rejuvenation program that can include laser and light-based treatments for the face. The best way to determine the best injectable for you is to schedule a consultation with a board-certified dermatologist.

What to Expect From Juvéderm
Sun exposure and aging are just some of the factors that reduce the quantity of hyaluronic acid (HA) in our skin. A shortage of HA causes the face to lose structure and volume, resulting in folds and facial wrinkles.
A dermal filler treatment like Juvéderm is a safe and effective treatment for replacing the lost HA in your skin without any surgery. Using a very fine needle, with minimal to no discomfort, our board-certified dermatologists will inject small amounts of the Juvéderm dermal filler into the mid to deep dermis of the areas where results are desired.
The smooth consistency of the filler will easily fill in and soften folds and wrinkles while restoring fullness in areas of diminished volume.
Read our pre/post-treatment guidelines for Juvederm.
What to Expect from Your Procedure In San Diego
Topical numbing cream is available before your Juvederm injections for more sensitive areas, but almost all of our patients don’t require any numbing since the procedure is relatively quick and comfortable. The filler formulation also includes the anesthetic, lidocaine, to minimize discomfort during treatment.
Our board-certified dermatologists will inject small amounts of the Juvéderm dermal filler into the mid to deep dermis in the areas where improvements are desired using a very fine needle. The entire procedure takes just a few minutes to complete, although the total visit could be longer if you have other injectables or procedures at the same time.
The smooth consistency of the filler will easily fill in and soften folds and wrinkles while restoring fullness in areas of diminished volume. Results are evident as soon as you leave our office but will continue to improve in the days following treatment.
After Your Juvederm Treatment In San Diego
Our patients typically return to regular activities right after treatment, making Juvederm the perfect lunchtime procedure. After your Juvéderm dermal filler injections, you may experience minor side effects including:
- Swelling
- Tenderness
- Redness
- Bruising
- Small lumps around the injection sites
These symptoms tend to be more noticeable in sensitive areas like the lips and around the mouth. The good news is that side effects usually subside within hours, although some may persist for a day or two. We are happy to treat any post-treatment bruising with a complimentary laser treatment the next day if necessary.
Improvements after your Juvederm treatment are temporary, as the hyaluronic acid in the filler will be metabolized by the body over time. Most patients see their results last for 6-12 months. Regular treatment sessions can help you maintain your improvements over the long term.
Juvéderm Treatment Guidelines
During your Juvederm procedure:
- An assessment will be made by your physician in San Diego to determine the type of product and
appropriate amount needed for your face - Multiple Juvéderm injections will be administered to treatment areas of the face
- The dermal filler contains lidocaine, however, some physicians may decide to use a topical
numbing agent or local anesthesia injections prior to filler injections. - You may have a very small amount of pinpoint bleeding where the needle was
inserted. This usually subsides in a few minutes.
After your Juvederm procedure:
- You may use your regular skincare products and make-up.
- You can apply ice packs to ease tenderness and swelling in the face
- Do NOT manipulate, rub, massage, apply pressure, etc. to treated areas or lay face
down after treatment. - Immediately after the treatment you will experience swelling which can last 1 – 3 days. The
above mentioned fillers are made from hyaluronic acid (which is a substance your body
normally produces) and it attracts water to it which causes the swelling. - You may feel lumps where the dermal filler was injected. This is also swelling and they will
subside in about 3 – 5 days and are usually not visible. - You may get a bruise from the injections. If so, you are welcome to come into the office
the following day and have the bruise(s) treated with a laser at no charge. - You may also take Arnica pills before and/or after the treatment to decrease risk of
bruising and to help any bruises you have to subside faster. We have Arnica available
for purchase. - Results are immediate but due to the swelling, the expected end result can be seen
between 7 – 10 days. - Follow any additional specific post-treatment instructions from your physician.
- It is always a possibility that you may not get the desired result after one treatment.
- Additional treatments may be necessary to achieve optimal desired results.
- Follow up with your physician in ______ days/weeks, or as needed.
Please contact our office if you have any questions or concerns at (858) 657-1002.
