JUVEDÉRM™ Injectable Gel

Juvederm is a Hyaluronic Acid (HA) gel that is approved by the FDA to smooth facial wrinkles and folds. Juvederm is safe and effective for all skin types, including persons of color. It is the first HA cosmetic filler to be FDA approved for up to 1 year.

Juvederm Injectable Gel is especially effective at correcting moderate to severe nasolabial folds (creases or "parentheses" running from the nose to the mouth area). The hyaluronic acid in Juvederm bonds to the water naturally present beneath the surface of the skin creating added fullness. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally-occuring substance that is formulated by Allergan, the maker of Botox Cosmetic, into a smooth consistency gel that can instantly take years off of the appearance in both women and men. Juvederm can also be effective in adding volume to thin and aging lips.

Treatment with Juvederm in our New York City day spa is quick and convenient, and can be accomplished easily during lunchtime or after work. After assessing your current condition and aesthetic goals, Robert Silich, M.D. eases Juvederm beneath the surface of the skin to augment, or fill, wrinkles or folds. After injection, he may lightly massage the area. The entire procedure usually takes about 15 minutes.

Juvederm FAQ

How is Juvederm different from Botox?

While both Juvederm and Botox are injected by a doctor, Juvederm uses hyaluronic acid to fill in facial wrinkles such as the nasolabial folds, while Botox is commonly used to selectively relax the facial muscles responsible for wrinkles between the eyebrows (glabella), the forehead, and under the eyes.

Can I combine Botox and Juvederm treatments?

Yes. Clients often combine Botox with cosmetic dermal fillers such as Juvederm. This is easily accomplished within the same session.

How much does Juvederm cost?

Shizuka Day Spa in NYC prices Juvederm per syringe used. The number of syringes used depends on individual facial characteristics and personal aesthetic goals. For more information about Juvederm pricing, please call (212) 644-7400 or email contact@ShizukaNY.com.

How long do results from Juvederm last?

Juvederm is the only HA filler that is approved by the FDA to last up to 1 year.

Is injection with Juvederm painful?

Clients should expect some discomfort during and directly after treatment with any dermal filler product. To make the process more comfortable, Dr. Silich may apply an anesthetic (numbing) cream to the area before injection.

Can I have Juvederm treatment on the day of an event?

We recommend planning your Juvederm treatment at least 2 weeks prior to any special event. While most side effects are mild to moderate in nature, these can include temporary injections site reactions such as redness, pain/tenderness, firmness, swelling, lumps/bumps, bruising, itching, and discoloration.

Can people with different skin tones/colors be treated with Juvederm?

Yes. Juvederm is the first FDA-approved HA filler that has proven its safety and effectiveness in persons of color. Studies with Juvederm showed no increased risk of hyperpigmentation or hypertrophic scarring in patients of color.
