Overview
Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in the skin that works to keep the skin moist and agile. As we age, this valuable component naturally decreases. Juvederm is a non-invasive hyaluronic acid-based filler that replenishes lost volume and improves the outer appearance of the skin. It is a popular injection treatment in areas where wrinkles reside closely together. This is because once injected it spreads beyond the actual injection site. Approved by the FDA in 2006, Juvederm has been put to the test against other notable filler brands, and in clinical studies has been shown to be both safe and highly effective.
Administering Juvederm
During your appointment, the areas of the injection sites will be marked and thoroughly cleaned prior to the treatment. With the possible comfort of local anesthesia and a numbing solution contained within Juvederm, the filler will be injected into the skin. After each injection, light pressure and a cooling ointment are applied to the area. Other than feeling a tingling sensation and some visible redness in the areas of the injections, there are usually no other side effects. Most patients are able to return to work with no downtime after their 15-30 minute Juvederm procedure.
What to Expect
The majority of patients who receive Juvederm will notice remarkable improvements after their very first treatment with results lasting up to one year. Patients are generally thrilled with the fast-acting, visible results that the injections provide. Since hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the human body, Juvederm side effects are intriguingly minimal with no missed time from normal activity.
JTG Plastic Surgery Our Reviews
Been with Dr Jansen for four years. He was a great dr to have on my side.
Dr. Tandon has been so kind and friendly to me over the past 4 years. Him and his staff, especially Shannon, treated me like family. I'm gonna miss seeing them but I'm glad my journey is done and everything is good.
Dr. Ravi Tandon has been nothing short of incredible. He was recommended to me by my surgical oncologist once I decided to undergo a preventive mastectomy and DIEP flap. I knew immediately after my consultation that he was the doctor for me. In addition to his impressive accolades and resume, he was patient and took time to answer all of my many questions. He was confident and encouraging, and he was exactly what I was looking for when selecting a doctor for such an intense procedure. My results are incredible. My healing process had no surprises. He and his staff go above and beyond. I truly cannot say enough positive things, and I cannot recommend him enough. I would give him and his team 10 stars if I could!
THE BEST SURGEON HANDS DOWN. VERY PERSONABLE, PROFESSIONAL AND I LOVE HIS TEAM AT HIS OFFICE....
Dr. Tandon and his staff are the reason I never had a minute of concern about my post double mastectomy breast reconstruction. They are quick to respond to concerns and really listen to the patient. The office is a well-oiled machine and two years past my surgery date they still remember me. And Dr. T's work is top notch -- the new girls are OUTSTANDING!

During your consultation, we will discuss the various fillers that are available today and will work to understand your aesthetic goals so that the best filler choice can be made.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will The Injection Hurt?
The injection may cause some discomfort, although the size of the needle is very small. Lidocaine, a numbing solution, is contained within Juvederm to help diminish pain after the treatment. Our team will work hard to ensure patient comfort, and may choose to apply a local anesthetic to numb the area.
What Other Anti-Aging Options?
Although fillers have proved to be a terrific solution to make skin appear younger, there are other options to consider. Fat grafting, BOTOX and Dysport, as well as plastic surgery, all hold the potential to provide tremendous improvements to the skin. During the initial consultation, our team will discuss the comprehensive options and give recommendations for the absolute best procedure tailored to each patient’s desired outcome. This may include a combination of cosmetic treatments.
Will I Look 20 Again?
A Juvederm injection reduces fine lines and wrinkles for a softer appearance. While this product will not make you look 20 again, it will minimize the lines and wrinkles on the face, and provide a youthful glow that many patients desire. It is important to set realistic expectations. This will be discussed in detail during your consultation.
