What happens during JUVÉDERM® procedures?
JUVÉDERM® uses hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body, to add volume to facial tissue. Dr. Collis will use a pen to mark treatment areas then will use a designated needle to inject the JUVÉDERM® gel. A small amount of lidocaine is included in the JUVÉDERM® injection to control pain.
What happens during JUVÉDERM® recovery?
The results of a JUVÉDERM® procedure are instantly noticeable. People are advised not to spend time in the sun, wear makeup, drink alcohol or perform strenuous activity for 24 hours after the procedure.
