WHAT IS JUVEDERM?
Juvederm is a family of injectable dermal filler products. Dr. Emer uses Juvederm to sculpt aesthetic facial contours and to reverse visible signs of aging caused by a decline in the body’s natural production of hyaluronic acid. The Juvederm family includes:
- Juvederm Voluma
- Juvederm Volbella
- Juvederm Vollure
- Juvederm Ultra
- Juvederm Ultra Plus
While each Juvederm filler has distinct properties, each contains hyaluronic acid within an extremely smooth gel that is formulated to optimize delivery via injections. After injection at the treatment sites, the product immediately begins to draw moisture into your skin to hydrate and plump the area.
In addition to hyaluronic acid, the gel contains lidocaine. Lidocaine is a numbing agent which helps to minimize discomfort during the injections.

HOW DOES JUVEDERM WORK?
Before looking in-depth at Juvederm, it is helpful to understand the causes of facial aging as it relates to treatment with dermal fillers. Your skin contains certain substances like hyaluronic acid that tend to decline in both quantity and quality as you grow older. The purpose of hyaluronic acid (HA) in your skin is to create hydration.
As you grow older and your natural production of hyaluronic acid decreases, your skin will become thinner and drier. Think of a dry riverbed. The dryer it gets, the more cracks develop on the surface. Wrinkles are cracks that become creases and folds over time. That is where Juvederm comes in.
After years of exhaustive research, doctors discovered that hyaluronic acid makes an excellent filler ingredient for sensitive areas such as the lips and throughout the face. The gel-like serum in HA-based Juvederm injections immediately adds volume, which can enhance facial features and smooth out wrinkles and lines.
Every Juvederm filler is hyaluronic acid-based to provide optimal volume restoration and to promote healthy, hydrated skin. Dr. Emer is able to achieve remarkable improvements with Juvederm due to his refined microdroplet technique, vast experience, and his advanced understanding of how each type of Juvederm filler works.
Juvederm Volbella is one of the most effective products for lip enhancement. Dr. Emer often performs Volbella injections for patients who want to increase the size of their lips to improve facial harmony and/or achieve a specific lip shape.
Volbella injections are also popular among patients who are struggling with fine lines around the lips. Increasing the size of the lips can help to reduce the appearance of perioral lines to create a more youthful look. Juvederm Volbella can smooth lip lines and augment lips for up to 12 months.
In addition to plumping the lips and erasing lines around the mouth, Dr. Emer can use Volbella to treat other delicate areas. For some patients, Volbella is a good option for filling under-eye hollows and/or minimizing chest wrinkles.

JUVEDERM RESULTS
Some patients experience noticeable improvements immediately after Juvederm injections. In other cases, it may take between three to fourteen days for swelling to completely subside and your final results to be visible.
Depending on your metabolism, the type of Juvederm filler used, and the treatment area, results can last from six months to 24 months before retreatment is needed. As part of your facial sculpting treatment plan, Dr. Emer will recommend collagen-stimulating treatments and other complementary procedures that can help you maintain your ideal facial profile.
