JUVÉDERM® in Lake Oswego, OR

Lake Oswego, OR patients who are not candidates for a facelift or want to renew their skin without undergoing the stress of surgery often turn to dermal fillers like Juvéderm, a nonsurgical treatment that can target moderate to severe signs of aging. Juvéderm can reverse signs of aging with extreme precision; without a single incision or suture, it can soften the appearance of common wrinkles like nasolabial folds and marionette lines. Juvéderm is also an optimal treatment for enhancing and plumping the lips. When Juvéderm is injected into the skin, it fills out deep wrinkles and creates natural-looking volume in the skin thanks to its hyaluronic acid base. Our facial plastic surgeons, Dr. Mark A. Petroff and Dr. Brian Scott, work like sculptors, contouring the patient's face in a way that helps them look youthful without making his work detectable. Patients can receive a full consultation at Petroff Center Plastic Surgery and Medi-Spa. 

The best candidates for Juvéderm:

• Have moderate to deep lines between the nose and mouth (nasolabial folds)
• Have thin lips and desire plumper lips
• Have age-related volume loss in cheeks
• Desire long-term results
• Desire natural-looking results

Dr. Petroff, Dr. Scott, and their team at Petroff Center strive to provide their patients with a variety of options that work to enhance their skin in an ideal way for their specific needs. We offer different types of Juvéderm injectables that each target a unique skin concern. The following options are available to every patient:

• Juvéderm Ultra XC: A dermal filler that adds needed volume to the lips and the areas surrounding them to present an augmented, fuller look.

• Juvéderm Ultra Plus XC: An injectable that works to both smooth out wrinkles and folds in the skin as well as add volume to the facial tissues.  

• Juvéderm Volbella® XC: This injectable is used to add volume and augment the lips nonsurgically. Injections of Volbella can also smooth out the wrinkles around the mouth.

• Juvéderm Vollure™ XC: Injected into the facial skin to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles around areas such as the nasolabial folds.

Beforehand, our esthetician or plastic surgeon will determine the appropriate formula, injection site(s), and the correct dosage to begin this in-office treatment. Since Juvéderm already has a numbing agent (Lidocaine) included, additional numbing usually isn’t needed. The filler will be delivered through a fine needle to the lips, cheeks, and/or wrinkles and lines around the nose and mouth. Patients will feel a small prick and a tingling sensation from the injection. The treatment typically lasts 30 – 45 minutes. 

After the injectable, there might be slight redness in the treated area. There could also be mild swelling, but it should go away rather quickly. Since there’s no downtime associated with Juvéderm, patients can return to their normal activities right after treatment. The face will be dramatically improved shortly after the injection, and most patients can expect reliable results for up to one year. 

Juvéderm has not only become one of the most popular and trusted fillers on the market, it is also one of the most effective at diminishing tough lines and wrinkles. In addition, it can add needed volume to thin lips and deflated cheeks. To learn more about this safe and successful treatment, contact our Lake Oswego, OR office for a consultation.
