In recent years, dermal fillers have become the cornerstone of non-surgical facial rejuvenation because of their ability to restore volume to the skin in a way that plastic surgery and other cosmetic treatments cannot. The JUVÉDERM® collection of dermal fillers, available at our premium med spas in Houston and Cypress, is one of the safest, most effective dermal fillers because it offers smooth, natural-looking results with a very low risk of unwanted side effects.

Award-winning Houston plastic surgeon Dr. Bob Basu specializes in facial rejuvenation and Juvéderm injections to achieve beautiful results. His experience in both cosmetic and reconstructive procedures make him a top choice among Texas men and women seeking a natural-looking enhancement to their appearances. He and his highly-trained group of nurse injectors, licensed aestheticians, and other aesthetic professionals are here to help you safely meet your goals!

Why Consider Juvéderm injections?

Juvéderm is an injectable facial filler designed to plump and enhance the soft tissues of the skin. It is made of hyaluronic acid gel, a naturally-occurring substance found in the connective tissues of joints in the human body.

Benefits

One of the greatest advantages Juvéderm has over other brands of dermal fillers is the versatility of the products. Juvéderm injections offer the following aesthetic benefits for the face and body:

• Reduces facial wrinkles and creases
• Plumps thin lips
• Fills in acne scars and other skin depressions
• Restores volume to the hands
• Enhances the shape of the cheeks and chin
• Improves the contour of the nose (also known as a non-surgical rhinoplasty)

Injectable fillers offer an alternative option to achieve these enhancements without undergoing a surgical procedure, such as a facelift, chin augmentation, or lip lift.

JUVÉDERM® XC also contains lidocaine, a local anesthetic, so no pre-treatment anesthesia or additional numbing is required to ensure your treatment is comfortable.

Your Consultation

Customizing Your Treatment

Once you’ve decided to move forward with your treatment, you’ll be able to make several choices about your procedure.

Your main decision is where you would like to have Juvéderm injections. Many people choose to get dermal filler in or around the cheek area, as this is one of the most common places for the face to lose volume. You may also wish to get a subtle (yet transformative) bit of lip enhancement.

Some people choose to have a non-surgical nose job using dermal fillers to refine the shape of the nose. Others use Juvéderm to minimize the appearance of pitted scars. As you can see, Juvéderm is an incredibly versatile product!

Your Juvéderm Options

We offer the following products at our Houston and Cypress med spas.

Juvéderm XC

Juvéderm XC is a hyaluronic acid dermal filler used to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, primarily around the nose and mouth. It’s commonly applied to smooth parentheses (smile) lines, marionette lines, and vertical lip lines, thus resulting in a smoother and more youthful appearance.

Juvéderm Ultra

Juvéderm Ultra XC is designed for lip augmentation and to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds. It is often used to enhance lip fullness, improve lip symmetry, and smooth out perioral lines. Results from Juvéderm Ultra XC can last between 6 months to one year.

Juvéderm Ultra Plus

Juvéderm Ultra Plus is a thicker hyaluronic acid-based filler, intended for deeper injection to correct more severe facial wrinkles and folds. It’s commonly used to address areas with significant volume loss, such as the nasolabial folds and marionette lines around the nose and mouth. Juvéderm Ultra Plus can last from 6 months to one year.

Juvéderm Voluma

Juvéderm Voluma is specifically formulated to restore volume to the chin. When expertly injected in the chin region, Juvéderm Voluma can help create a beautiful chin contour and improved chin profile. Juvéderm Voluma provides results that can last up to one year.

Juvéderm Volux

Juvéderm Volux is designed for chin and jawline contouring. Volux aids in sculpting and defining the lower face, providing a more structured jawline appearance for up to one year.

Juvéderm Volbella

Juvéderm Volbella is formulated specifically for lip augmentation and the correction of hollowed under eyes. Volbella adds subtle volume to the lips and smooths out vertical lip lines for a softer, plumper look. When used under the eyes, Volbella can improve sunken, tired-looking undereyes for a more rested appearance. The results of Juvéderm Volbella can last up to one year.

Juvéderm Vollure

Juvéderm Vollure is used for treating moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, particularly the nasolabial folds (a.k.a smile lines) and marionette lines that extend from the corners of the mouth to the chin. Vollure effectively smooths these lines and wrinkles and offers subtle, long-lasting results for up to 18 months.

Choosing the right product for you

During your consultation with one of our highly experienced injectors, we can discuss your aesthetic goals and help design with a customized treatment plan just for you! Our injectors are incredibly experienced at administering dermal filler injections, and will recommend which Juvéderm product, what dosage, and where it should be placed for your unique anatomy and your personal goals.

Combining Juvéderm with other treatments

Many people combine their Juvéderm filler treatments with BOTOX® Cosmetic. Botox can serve as the perfect complement to dermal fillers because the two injectables can be used to correct different problems. While dermal fillers are fantastic at enhancing contour or restoring lost volume, Botox injections are formulated to treat and reduce dynamic wrinkles. During your consultation, you can also discuss combining filler injections with other med spa treatments or facial procedures to produce even more comprehensive results.

Your Houston Juvéderm Treatment

During your Juvéderm treatment, our expert injector will cleanse your skin and discuss the strategic injection site (or sites) to correct your cosmetic concerns. We will then inject the Juvéderm product, a process that takes only 15 to 20 minutes. With Juvéderm, subtly is key to achieving natural results, and a single syringe can go a long way. Most people require 1 to 2 syringes of Juvéderm during their initial treatment session, and additional product may be needed for touch-up injections 1 to 2 weeks later.

Post-Treatment: Recovery & Results

Following your Juvéderm injections, you may return to normal daily activities immediately, as there is no downtime involved. However, you may be instructed to avoid sun exposure and strenuous exercise for at least 24 hours. Your injector may also recommend applying ice to the treatment site to minimize swelling.

Side Effects

Your Juvéderm treatment may result in mild, temporary side effects, such as bruising, redness and swelling, which can last about a week. Other, more serious potential Juvéderm side effects, such as developing lumps or bumps, are less common and can typically be avoided by choosing an experienced, highly-skilled injector from Basu Aesthetics + Plastic Surgery.

Love Your Lasting Look

When injected, the hyaluronic acid gel in Juvéderm hydrates the skin, temporarily adding volume from beneath the skin’s surface to create a smoother, more youthful appearance. The Juvéderm product is gradually broken down and safely absorbed by the body over a period of about 4 to 9 months. Areas where more movement occurs, such as the lips, usually require repeat Juvéderm injections more frequently than areas like the nose or chin.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does Juvéderm treatment cost in Houston?

The price of a Houston Juvéderm treatment varies based on how many syringes you will need to fulfill your aesthetic goals. Your total costs will include the cost of the product as well as charges associated with your injector. Although it is non-surgical, getting Juvéderm injections is considered a medical procedure, which is why it’s crucial you receive this injectable treatment from a qualified injector at a professional medical spa.

At Basu Aesthetics + Plastic Surgery, we offer frequent special promotions for a variety of cosmetic treatments. We also offer plastic surgery financing options to make your procedures as affordable as possible.

How often should I get Juvéderm treatments?

Juvéderm treatments typically last between 6 to 12 months, depending on the specific product used, the area treated, and individual factors like metabolism. Patients usually schedule maintenance treatments once or twice a year. Our injectors can help you determine the treatment frequency that is best for you during your private consultation.

Can Juvéderm be used for areas other than the face?

Juvéderm is primarily used for facial areas, such as the cheeks, lips, and around the mouth and nose, to smooth wrinkles and add volume. While it is not typically used elsewhere, we do offer other non-surgical alternatives that can rejuvenate the neck, hands, and other parts of the body.

Am I a good candidate for dermal fillers?

Candidates for Juvéderm fillers are generally adults who are experiencing volume loss, wrinkles, or folds in the facial area, and who are not allergic to any of the ingredients in Juvéderm. Ideal candidates are typically:

• In good health
• Have realistic expectations about the results
• Do not have a history of severe allergies or anaphylaxis

During your consultation, one of our experienced injectors will determine if Juvéderm is appropriate for your unique health profile and aesthetic goals. If you are experiencing more severe signs of facial aging, such as excess, sagging skin or severe lines and wrinkles, it is possible that a more extensive procedure, rather than dermal fillers, will be appropriate for your desired results.

Can I get results with just one syringe?

Results with just one syringe of filler are certainly possible, but the extent of change is typically quite subtle. The exact amount of filler you will need will depend on the treatment area, your desired outcome, and individual facial characteristics. For modest enhancements or small areas, one syringe may be sufficient. However, for more significant volume loss or multiple treatment areas, additional syringes might be necessary. Each experienced injector can provide a better understanding of how much product is needed to reach your personal goals.

Can I do anything to make my dermal filler results last longer?

To prolong your dermal filler results, it is important that you maintain a healthy lifestyle, including staying hydrated, not smoking, and using sunscreen to protect your skin from UV damage. It is also essential that you adhere to the specific aftercare instructions we provide following your injections. We also encourage you to use quality skincare products that support your skin’s health, as well as schedule regular touch-up appointments with your provider to maintain your results.
