JUVÉDERM® in Westchester County, NY

Juvéderm is a facial filler composed of hyaluronic acid. It is a popular treatment method for wrinkles, lines, and creases found in the face, and it can help address skin that is thinning or drooping. Board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Michael Suzman, proudly offers Juvéderm injections to his patients at WESTMED Group in Westchester County, NY to help produce younger looking and more volumized skin. There are multiple types of Juvéderm injections that are specifically designed to address the patient's individual needs, and their results will vary. Our office is proud to offer the various formulas within the Juvéderm family:

Juvéderm XC, Ultra, Vollure, and Vobella, as well as Voluma.

Both Dr. Suzman will administer these injections with careful precision and detail. Patients can expect smoother, tighter looking skin after their injection procedure.

Individuals who are seeking to treat wrinkles without having to undergo surgery, are usually good candidates for Juvéderm. Depending on how deep and how many wrinkles are being treated typically determines the filler product, but Juvéderm works well in patients who wish to improve moderate facial lines or augment the lips. Those with deeper lines and creases may be better suited for thicker filler material.

Juvéderm is an outpatient treatment typically administered right inside our office. Similar to other injection treatments, the injection sites will be marked on your face using a washable pen. The amount of Juvéderm administered is dependent upon the depth of the wrinkles and location areas. Some patients will need more or less of the product depending on the desired results. Typical treatments last approximately 30 minutes, but some can take up to an hour.

Patients should expect to see immediate results following their treatment. Juvéderm contains the anesthetic lidocaine, so patients should not experience discomfort, although there may be some redness at or around the injection sites after the treatment has been completed. The dermatologist may gently rub the areas of the face to help the filler spread evenly and smoothly. Treatment is expected to last up to a year and many patients return after that time frame.

Juvéderm offers gorgeous results for patients seeking nonsurgical wrinkle treatment, as well as an easy way to enhance and augment the lips.
