Product Advantage
Juvederm’s hyaluronic acid (HA) formula is engineered to mimic the skin’s natural hydrating components, featuring a unique cross-linked molecular structure that enhances both stability and longevity. This advanced formulation delivers immediate volume enhancement upon injection while providing sustained hydration to lips, as HA molecules bind to moisture in the skin. Unlike short-acting fillers, its proprietary Vycross™ technology ensures results that last 6–12 months—significantly longer than traditional HA fillers—with minimal risk of migration. The 1mL syringe is precision-calibrated for lip-specific contouring, allowing practitioners to achieve subtle or dramatic results while reducing the chance of over-injection or uneven texture.
Product Uses
Lip augmentation: Enhances lip fullness by adding structured volume to the lip body, while defining the vermilion border for a more pronounced cupid’s bow.
Wrinkle reduction: Targets perioral lines (commonly called smoker’s lines) and vertical lip creases by plumping the underlying tissue and smoothing surface irregularities.
Symmetry correction: Addresses naturally uneven lip shapes or volume discrepancies caused by aging, trauma, or genetics.
Hydration boost: Replenishes lost HA in dry, chapped lips, improving elasticity and restoring a soft, supple texture.
Product Operate Guide
Pre-Treatment:
Advise patients to avoid NSAIDs (such as ibuprofen), vitamin E supplements, and fish oil for 5–7 days prior to treatment, as these can increase bruising risk by thinning the blood .
Apply a topical numbing cream containing lidocaine and prilocaine 30 minutes before injection to minimize discomfort.
Conduct a thorough lip assessment to mark target areas for volume enhancement and contouring.
Procedure:
Administer micro-injections along the lip border (vermilion-cutaneous junction) and deep within the lip body using a 30G ultra-fine needle to reduce trauma.
Use a serial puncture technique for volume addition, followed by gentle manual massage to ensure even distribution of the product and prevent lumps.
Post-Treatment:
Instruct patients to avoid heat exposure (including saunas, hot showers, and sunbathing) and alcohol consumption for 24 hours to reduce swelling and bruising .
Recommend cold compresses applied in 10-minute intervals to alleviate post-injection swelling. Results become visible within 24–48 hours, with final outcomes settling after 1–2 weeks as initial swelling subsides.
FAQ
How long does the procedure take?
The entire treatment, including consultation and numbing time, typically takes 15–20 minutes, with minimal downtime—most patients return to daily activities immediately.
Is it painful?
Discomfort is mild, often described as a slight pinch, due to the ultra-fine needle and pre-treatment numbing cream.
Can I wear lipstick afterward?
It is safe to apply lipstick after 12 hours, once the injection sites have closed to avoid irritation or infection.
What if I don’t like the results?
Hyaluronidase, an enzyme that breaks down HA, can be administered to adjust or reverse results if needed.
