What happens during the dermal filler treatment?
During your Juvéderm filler treatment at Serotonin Centers, our expert practitioner will assess your facial anatomy and discuss your aesthetic goals. After cleansing the treatment area, a fine needle or cannula is used to inject the filler into targeted areas. The integrated lidocaine in the filler ensures your comfort throughout the procedure. You may experience minor swelling or bruising, but this typically resolves quickly. The entire process takes less than an hour.
Side effects and recovery after dermal fillers
After your treatment, you may experience minor side effects like redness, swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the injection sites. These effects are usually mild and temporary, resolving within a few days. To minimize swelling and bruising, you can apply ice packs and avoid strenuous activities for the first 24 hours. Most people resume their normal activities immediately after treatment, although strenuous exercise should be avoided for 24-48 hours.
Dermal fillers results: onset and longevity
You'll notice immediate improvement in the treated areas following your Juvéderm filler session. However, final results may become more apparent once any initial swelling subsides, typically within a week. You can enjoy your refreshed, youthful appearance for up to 12-24 months, depending on the specific Juvéderm formulation used and individual factors such as metabolism and lifestyle. You can maintain your desired look with regular touch-ups every 9 to 12 months.
