How long does it take to see results from Juvederm? I just got some in my nasolabial folds and lips, and I can't wait to see how it really is going to look.

How long to see results from Juvederm?
Juvederm results should be immediate. The filler creates a volume, as it's being injected into the nasolabial folds, marrionette lines or the lips. The increase in volume is instantaneous. For deeper, NLF's, I prefer using Juvederm Ultra Plus or Perlane that are a bit thicker and capable of filling in the folds to a greater extent...as well as providing a longer-lasting result.

You should see results already
With most of the injectables, what you see is what you get. There is some minor swelling and bruising, but for the most part, you should see the results the same day. After a week, most of the swelling should be resolved. Many doctors correctly under fill the areas being treated, with the expectation that you may need further injections. This is not a scam to make more money, but a way to ensure that you are not overdone. Once the filler is put in place, it is very hard if not...

Waiting for Juvederm results
Hi Lilley,
If anything, the results you would see immediately after injection would perhaps be a bit fuller than the final results because of swelling. The amount of swelling depends on the skill of the practitioner, the area injected and the amount of icing used before and after treatment.
If you've got swelling after your injections, then the "final" results should be seen after about 1 week. Hope this helps. Good luck.

See Juvederm injection results immediately!
The wonderful thing about many dermal fillers today is that you will see immediate results. Juvederm is a hyaluronic acid or sugar that will attract water.
Because of this, you will see some additional swelling or fullness usually within 2-3 days. This usually resolves within the first week following injection. Rare patients may develop significant swelling, but is less likely.

Facial Fillers: Juvederm Results are Immediate
Facial fillers fall into three categories: True Facial Fillers that act to fill atrophic tissue: Juvederm, Restylane, Perlane Facial injectables that stimulate cells to produce collagen: Sculptra Facial Injectables that are true fillers and stimulate collagen: Radiesse Juvederm is composed of hyaluronic acid and is thus characterized as a true facial filler. These products fill areas of atrophy and results are immediate.

You will see Juvederm results instantly, with subtle changes in the 1st week
Juvederm is a Hyaluronic Acid (HA) based filler. You will see immediate results after the injection. HA based fillers are hydrophylic, which means they attract water. In the first few days after injection the area typically gets softer and any bruising or swelling resolves.
Occasionally, patients may benefit from additional volume of filler to acheive "optimal correction". I would wait about 2 weeks after injection and if you have any questions about the result then follow up with...

Juvederm Results
Results from Juvederm, along with other hyaluronic fillers is immediate. Any extra fullness from swelling in the area and at injection sites should be completely gone within 10-14 days which is why we recommend a two week follow-up. This is very important to provide a great service to a new client. We do touch-ups at no additional charge in order to “learn” the clients face.

You should notice immediate improvement. Swelling will persist for a couple of a days to up to ten days. Thereafter, you will have the final result.

You will see results from Juvederm immediately after injection
You will see great results from Juvederm right after injection. You may have some temporary swelling or bruising that can take as much as one week to resolve. After one week if you still think that you need "more" Juvederm injected into the desired area, you can return to your doctor then. It is important to go to a skilled injector so that you don't look "over done" and have a natural result.

Juvederm results are immediate
Juvederm results are immediate. There may be some post swelling from the injection sites however this dissipates quickly...what you see is usually what you get! On the positive side of this note you can always add more, it is worse to have to much! So less is better and you may have the process repeated if desired. Be careful you are not wasting money for a result that may only be achieved by surgery.

Juvederm Results Are Immediate
Hi,
I tell patients that what you see with Juvederm right after placement is very close to the final result. After the treatment you may experience some minor swelling for the next day but that goes away very quickly. As a result, when I place Juvederm I let the patient guide the placement especially for the lip and under eye areas. I will fill a little bit evenly on both sides, let the patient see what it looks like in the mirror and continue to fill based on what...

Juvederm results should be visible immediately
Juvederm gives immediate fill results. However, swelling may last up to 48 hours after the injection and bruising and minor lumpiness may take up to 2 weeks to resolve.

Immediate results
Juvederm results can be seen almost immediately after treatment. When injected correctly by a professional there is very little bruising and swelling that usually resolves within a few days. Juvederm is also a Hyaluronic Acid that is hydropholic and attracts water to the treated area after injection, this can lead to a further increase in volume over the first 24 hours after treatment. Approximately 2 weeks after treatment you should have your final outcome...

Juvederm results are instant
Juvederm results are mostly instant. Of course you may get some swelling and bruising that last a few days. Ignoring the swelling, Juvederm results tend to get slightly better a few weeks into the treatment and then stabilize. If you don't see significant changes right off the bat, something is amiss.

Juvederm results immediate with minimal swelling
Juvederm Ultra and Ultra Plus are HA fillers and provide immediate and gratifying results if injections are performed by a skilled physician or trained nurse injector. Some molding should be performed to ensure even contour in most cases at the same time. Swelling is minimal but can last about 1 day. Bruising may occur but is limited if you have not taken platelet inhibiting products orally for 7-10 days, and if ice and gentle technique is used. Results often last 6-9 months befor retreatmen...

Juvederm provides immediate improvement to treated areas
You should see improvement in treated areas immediately after placement of the product. If you do not see enough noticeable improvement, then it is possible you need an additional vial or so of product. However, sometimes it can look completely filled due to the swelling and after this goes down, you might need additional product. I hope this information helps.

You see Juvederm result right away.
Hi.
When the doctor is done with Juvederm Injections, you see the result, because swelling hasn't started yet. Then you may be a little swollen for a couple of days, and then you see the result again.

Juvederm and swelling
Excellent question. The results of Juvederm are essentially immediate, with a mild to modest amount of swelling, depending on the area injected. Generally speaking, patients may experience some swelling after the injections, but this usually resides within 2-3 days. The exception may be the peri-ocular regions or below the eyes. Due to the thinness of the skin in this region, patients may experience prolonged swelling, lasting up to weeks. Hope this helps.

You will see Juvederm results immediately
One of the best things about the fillers are that the results are immediate. In the "old days" with Zyderm I (collagen) one over-corrected. As the water (saline) drained away, one received the results.
However, this is not done with the hyaluronic acid fillers. The results are immediate.
Perhaps, more needs to be injected to receive the results you want. If you requested one syringe, your physician might have performed a balancing act, injecting the substance in an even...

The results are immediate
When a dermal filler is injected the results are literally immediate. Because of fluid attraction by the HA product and some edema from the injection, the result is enhanced over the next few days but the initial result is immediate.
If you have it done and don't see an immediate benefit, you probably needed more product injected. Sometimes a patient will handcuff the doctor and want more result from one syringe than is reasonable for them to expect. Many patients need more than one...
