Juvederm Dermal Filler in Seattle

HEALTHY, YOUNGER LOOKING SKIN

Who doesn’t appreciate healthy, young looking skin? Skin that contains an abundance of a naturally hydrating substance called hyaluronic acid (HA) looks and feels healthy. But as we age, sunlight, anti-free radicals in the air and other factors can reduce the amount of HA present in the skin. The lack of HA causes your skin to lose structure and volume, creating unwanted facial wrinkles and folds on your face. The loss of volume can be restored using a cosmetic filler such as Juvederm.

Juvederm is a smooth gel filler that is injected into the skin to provide a long lasting result, up to one year for most patients.

WHAT IS INVOLVED IN A TREATMENT?

Treatment is scheduled after the consultation with Dr Echavez and appointments generally last one hour. Skin is prepped and marked out on the areas to be treated. Upon completion of treatment, ice packs and a cooling gel are applied and take home instructions are carefully reviewed. A two-week follow up appointment is scheduled, but we encourage you to call if questions or concerns arise.

WHAT ARE THE SIDE EFFECTS?

The most commonly reported side effects are temporary redness, swelling, pain/tenderness, firmness and/or lumps/bumps at the injection sites. Some patients may experience bruising. Most side effects are mild or moderate in nature, and their duration is short lasting (7 days or less). It is recommended not to put any pressure on the treated area and to wash your skin with a mild creamy cleanser post op.
