Many Los Angeles doctors and patients like the natural looking quality of Juvederm results. This is because  Juvederm is made of hyaluronic acid which makes up 40% of the skin’s dermis.  The actual filler, however is derived from bacteria in a lab setting.

Juvederm results can improve areas of the face such as

1) Laugh Lines

2) Lip Augmentation

Los Angeles Juvederm Results on Real Patients

Juvederm for Laugh Lines

Laugh lines develop as muscles and tissue in the lower face area start to lose volume.  The nasolabial folds around the nose and mouth become more prominent. And when the individual laughs or smiles, deep creases appear on the face.

Juvederm results can diminish these folds and lines.  This Los Angeles patient had a mild form of laugh lines.  Juvederm was able to rejuvenate her face by restoring volume loss in this area.  Here are before and after pictures.

Moderate to more severe forms of laugh lines can be addressed with a different filler called Radiesse.

Juvederm for Lip Augmentation

Many patients are interested in Juvederm results for lip augmentation.  Since Juvederm is made of hyaluronic acid which can hold a lot of water molecules, it can hydrate the lips.

Also the filler easily disperses and assimilates into the lip tissue, creating soft and natural looking results. This Los Angeles patient wanted to avoid overly dramatic pillow lips, although this shape is popular and in demand.

She wanted to keep the shape of her cupid’s bow, while adding moderate enhancement to both the upper and lower lip.

Her Juvederm results are seen below:

Los Angeles Juvederm Results- Side Effects and Complications

Some experts claim that no allergy test is needed with Juvederm because it is a natural component of the body and does not have animals proteins.  However, there are individuals who may be allergic to bacterial proteins instead.

While allergic reactions are rare, a doctor can still test for these adverse effects of Juvederm results. This can be done by injecting the arm with a small sample of Juvederm. Immediate swelling will occur if the individual is allergic to the filler.

Other unwanted types of Juvederm results include:

1) swelling

2) bruising

3) formation of lumps

The swelling and bruising should subside within a few days after the procedure. Lumps that persist past the two week mark should be examined by the doctor. He or she may administer hyaluronidase to dissolve them.

Another form of unwanted Juvederm results includes the Tyndall effect. When  light  passes through a clear colloid suspension, it will give a bluish hue.  Therefore Juvederm should not be injected superficially, or in areas where the skin is quite thin (e.g. under the eyes). Otherwise the Tyndall effect can look like a bruise.

The risk of  unwanted consequences from Juvederm can be minimized by choosing a board certified dermatologist as your service provider.
