Juvederm®

Injectable Gel

JUVÉDERM® Injectable Gel is the #1 selling dermal filler in the United States.

Des Moines Plastic Surgery is proud to offer Juvederm for non-surgical wrinkle reduction.

With a brief treatment, we can correct your facial wrinkles for 6-12 months. The natural hyaluronic acid in Juvederm effectively fills facial wrinkles and folds around the mouth and nose.

Is Juvederm right for me?

If you would like to restore facial contours or reduce the appearance of lines and creases, injection therapy with soft tissue fillers may be right for you.

Treatment with Juvederm can:

Plump thin lips
Enhance shallow contours
Soften facial creases and wrinkles
Improve the appearance of recessed scars

Because it provides excellent results and no downtime, more of our patients in Des Moines are using Juvederm injectable gel to temporarily erase unwanted wrinkles and folds.

How Juvederm Works

JUVÉDERM® Injectable Gel Ultra Plus XC is easily injected under the skin and, using your own framework, it strengthens and "boosts" your own facial contours to create volume. This is a very quick and easy way to shave years off of your appearance. JUVÉDERM® Injectable Gel Ultra Plus XC is infused with lidocaine to improve comfort during treatment.

Fillers can be used in conjunction with BOTOX® Cosmetic for a beautiful youthful result. Call today for a complimentary wrinkle filler consultation.

Procedural Steps

Step 1. Dr. Robbins or one of his qualified nurses will carefully evaluate your facial appearance and skin tone, and examine the areas of your face to be augmented with injectable fillers.

Step 2. Strategic points on your face may be marked as guides to the appropriate injection sites for the filler.

Step 3. The injection sites will be cleansed with an antibacterial agent. Icing or a topical numbing agent may be offered to make more sensitive patients comfortable. In some cases, the filler itself will contain an anesthetic agent. In other cases local anesthetic may be administered to the treatment site.

Step 4. Injection takes only a few moments per site and a few minutes for a course of treatment.

Step 5. Following Juvederm injection, any markings will be cleansed and icing may be offered to alleviate discomfort. Makeup may be carefully re-applied so long as care is taken not to apply pressure to the treatment area. Just like any injection, you may experience mild irritation, swelling, itching, redness, bruising or tenderness at the injection site.

Filling wrinkles or recessed scars involves multiple injections. In some cases where deeper injection of fillers is required, a local anesthetic may be used prior to treatment. Common sites for deeper tissue fillers include the nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and cheeks.
