Are results with Juvederm immediate, or will facial lines continue to improve after treatment?

Question

James R. Gordon, MD, FACS, FAAO · Answer

Thank you for the good question. After injection with Juvederm the skin
becomes more swollen for a few days. This then subsides, but the area injected
becomes smoother and looks better over a couple of weeks due to the absorption of
water. I hope you find this helpful.

Hi.  Yes, you do see immediate results with the filler injection.  Juvederm is a "hydrophilic" (water-loving) material, so it soaks up water over time.  This gives a secondary improvement.  However, once the material is gone, you return to your pre-injection state.

I do not feel that HA fillers build collagen so I think you go back to your normal look after the fillers dissolve.  Fillers like Radiesse, Sculptra, and Bellafill do give a long term result especially in combination with laser procedures.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Results from Juvederm are, largely, immediate.  The product does, however, continue to absorb water from the tissues over the first several days following injection, giving a little more "bang for the buck" than is seen initially. This effect is more pronounced with Juvederm Ultra Plus than with Juvederm Ultra.

Jonathan Amspacher, MD · Answer

Juvederm is a very immediately gratifying medication in that most of the effect is instantly visual.  However, if you have very deep wrinkles they may continue to improve over several weeks as the skin elasticity reacts to having new support under the wrinkle and the surrounding tissues mold to acommodate the volume infusion.
