Juvederm Injection Treatments in Santa Monica, CA

Juvéderm is an injectable gel that gently reverses many signs of aging in the face, including fine lines and wrinkles, crow's feet, thinning lips and loosening skin. It can also "plump up" the lips, sculpt the cheeks, and restore a youthful oval shape to the face. It is made with hyaluronic acid, a natural substance found in the body that works with collagen and elastin to give volume and support to the skin. Because it is non-animal-based and highly biocompatible, no pre-treatment testing is needed.

One advantage Juvederm has over other dermal fillers is that there is less pain associated with the injections. According to the Allergan, tests on 60 women found that 81% felt only slight or no discomfort at all with Juvederm. Juvederm contains an anaesthetic and promises to give people a "gentle injection experience".

Another advantage that Juvederm is said to have is that it lasts longer. Juverderm has proven to last up to a year. There is variation among patients (metabolism, movement, etc), and injector techniques, therefore the range is six to twelve months or more. It is the longest lasting HA acid product on the market in most people.

Juvederm typically costs about $500-$700 per tube. Someone who is getting a facial filling almost to the point of a face lift is going to use as much as three or four tubes and therefore might use several thousand dollars. Again, with Juvederm lasting longer, a treatments may only need to be done once a year.

There are many doctors & plastic surgeons in the Santa Monica area that offer Juvederm.

Dr. Karyn Grossman of Grossman Dermatology offers Juvederm injections. Dr. Grossman believes that with the right filler, or combination of fillers to plump, fill and smooth wrinkles, you can achieve a similar result to more aggressive procedures. Juvederm is the softest of all HA products and yet has the highest concentration of hyaluronic acid. It is considered to be the longest lasting and is an excellent choice for soft, natural looking and feeling lip enhancement as well as improvement of the nasal-labial folds.

The Abergel Institute located on Santa Monica Blvd, also offers Juvederm. Dr. R. Patrick Abergel has more than 20 years of in France & the US. Dr. Abergel performs the Juvederm injection in his office and focuses on fine wrinkles like crow’s feet to deeper folds like naso-genian folds.
