Is Juvederm dermal filler right for me?

Juvederm is one of several cosmetic injectables available at LAK Medspa in Wayzata, Minnesota. Below are a few frequently asked questions about injectable services for adult men and women in and around the community.

What is Juvederm?

Dr. Lisa Ohman Erhard best describes Juvederm as an anti-aging hyaluronic acid dermal filler. It is a non-surgical treatment designed to add volume and plumpness to face areas, such as the cheeks, lips, and nasolabial folds (smile lines). Juvederm is also used to enhance facial contours and smooth out wrinkles.

How does Juvederm work to address fine lines, wrinkles, and folds?

Juvederm works by injecting hyaluronic acid, a chemical naturally produced by the body that moisturizes and volumizes the skin. This restores lost volume and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The results are instant, with continued improvements over time as the hyaluronic acid stimulates collagen production.

Is Juvederm a safe treatment?

Absolutely! Juvederm has been used for many years and has been proven to be both a safe and effective treatment. The hyaluronic acid used in Juvederm is biodegradable, which means it naturally breaks down in the body over time and is naturally flushed from the body through the lymphatic system.

How long do the results from Juvederm injections last?

The duration of the results varies greatly depending on the individual and the treated area, but on average, Juvederm can last up to 12-18 months. Factors including metabolism, lifestyle choices, and sun exposure can affect the longevity of the results.

Is there any downtime after a Juvederm treatment?

Most of our patients are able to resume their daily activities immediately after a Juvederm treatment. It is extremely common to experience mild swelling, bruising, and mild tenderness at the injection site, but this typically subsides within a few days. We often recommend avoiding strenuous activities and excessive sun exposure 24 hours after treatment.

Can Juvederm injections be combined with other cosmetic treatments available at LAK Medspa?

Yes. Our Juvederm injections can be combined with other cosmetic treatments, such as Botox injections or chemical peels, to achieve optimal results. Dr. Lisa Ohman Erhard can thoroughly evaluate your specific needs and create a personalized treatment plan that might include multiple procedures to help you reach your desired goals.

Is there anything I should do before my Juvederm treatment?

To ensure the best final results, we recommend avoiding any blood-thinning medications or supplements, like ibuprofen, aspirin, vitamin E, and fish oil, for at least 1 week before your appointment. It is also essential to inform our staff of any allergies or medical conditions you may have during your consultation.
