Juvederm® in Chicago, IL
Aging, sun exposure, and facial movements can lead to unwanted lines, wrinkles, and volume loss that make you look older than you feel. JUVÉDERM® is a non-surgical dermal filler approved to treat moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, offering a safe and effective solution for facial rejuvenation. Comprised of a modified form of hyaluronic acid through HYLACROSS™ technology—a unique manufacturing process that provides a high concentration of cross-linked hyaluronic acid—JUVÉDERM® delivers smooth, natural-looking results with minimal downtime.
At MD Brothers Cosmetic Surgery and Aesthetic Medicine in Chicago, board-certified aesthetic medicine specialists Dr. Nael Gharbi and Dr. Shazel Gharbi have extensive experience administering JUVÉDERM® treatments to help patients achieve youthful, refreshed appearance with precision and artistry.
How Does It Work?
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance made from long chains of sugars that exist naturally in the skin. Hyaluronic acid has impact on several functions in the body, some of which are to bind water, lubricate the movable parts of the body, such as muscles and joints, and to maintain the elasticity of the skin. Its function is to absorb water, deliver nutrients and act as a cushioning agent. When you inject it into your skin, it acts like a sponge and expands to fill in wrinkles and folds and support sunken areas. The extra water brought to the skin’s surface also imparts a fresh, glowing radiance and a soft, supple skin texture. These injections induce a robust production of collagen, which helps to further firm and plump your skin, and reduce wrinkles over time.
What to Expect During Treatment
JUVÉDERM® treatments are quick, typically taking 15-30 minutes depending on the areas being treated. Before your injection, the treatment area will be cleansed, and a topical numbing cream may be applied for your comfort. Many JUVÉDERM® formulations also contain lidocaine, a local anesthetic, to minimize discomfort during injection. Using a fine needle, your provider will carefully inject the filler into targeted areas to restore volume and smooth wrinkles. You may feel slight pressure or pinching during the injections, but most patients find the procedure very tolerable. After treatment, you can return to your normal activities immediately, making JUVÉDERM® an ideal “lunchtime” procedure.
Benefits of JUVÉDERM®
JUVÉDERM® offers numerous advantages for patients seeking facial rejuvenation without surgery. The treatment provides immediate, visible results that can last from six months to up to two years, depending on the specific product used and treatment area. The smooth gel consistency creates natural-looking results that move with your facial expressions rather than appearing frozen or overfilled. JUVÉDERM® is FDA-approved and has an excellent safety profile, with minimal risk of allergic reaction since hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally found in the body. The non-surgical nature of the treatment means no incisions, no general anesthesia, and minimal downtime, allowing you to enhance your appearance without disrupting your busy schedule.
Treatment Areas
JUVÉDERM® is versatile and can address multiple areas of concern on the face. Common treatment areas include nasolabial folds (the lines running from the nose to the corners of the mouth), marionette lines (lines extending downward from the corners of the mouth), lip enhancement and definition, under-eye hollows and tear troughs, cheek augmentation and volume restoration, chin enhancement, and vertical lip lines. Different formulations within the JUVÉDERM® family are designed for specific areas and concerns, allowing your provider to customize treatment to your unique facial anatomy and aesthetic goals.
Ideal Candidates
JUVÉDERM® is suitable for adults who wish to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles and restore lost volume. Ideal candidates are in good overall health, have realistic expectations about the results, and are looking for a non-surgical solution to facial aging. The treatment works well for individuals experiencing early to moderate signs of aging, though it can also complement other cosmetic procedures for more comprehensive rejuvenation. During your consultation, your provider will evaluate your skin condition, discuss your aesthetic concerns, and determine whether JUVÉDERM® is the right option for achieving your desired outcome.
