JUVÉDERM® in Newport Beach
Are you tired of looking in the mirror and seeing signs of aging? JUVÉDERM® is the solution you’ve been searching for. It’s the most popular dermal filler in the United States, and it’s made with hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in your skin that helps it stay plump and hydrated. Newport Beach plastic surgeon Dr. Goretti Ho Taghva and her team of expert aesthetic injectors are thrilled to offer this treatment to Orange County men and women wanting to look their best.
The JUVÉDERM® collection includes a range of dermal fillers, each designed to target specific concerns:
- For enhancing your cheeks, chin, and jawline: JUVÉDERM Voluma XC is great for adding contour and projection to the chin and defining the cheekbones. JUVÉDERM Volux XC, on the other hand, is the only FDA-approved filler designed specifically to sculpt and define the jawline.
- For fuller lips: JUVÉDERM Ultra XC adds plumpness to your lips, while JUVÉDERM Volbella XC gives a more subtle fullness and helps smooth out vertical lip lines.
- For smoothing lines and wrinkles: If you’re looking to smooth out the lines around your nose and mouth (like nasolabial folds), JUVÉDERM XC is a solid choice. JUVÉDERM Vollure XC softens these lines too. For more severe wrinkles, especially around the nose and mouth, JUVÉDERM Ultra Plus XC is a great option.
- For under-eye hollows: JUVÉDERM Volbella XC is the first FDA-approved filler for filling in tear troughs and reducing the appearance of dark circles.
- For skin hydration and quality: Skinvive™ by JUVÉDERM was recently FDA-approved to improve skin smoothness in the cheeks. As the first “skin booster” available in the U.S., it’s injected in microdroplets just below the skin surface to hydrate and plump the skin from within.
All made by Allergan, JUVÉDERM fillers are a well-known collection of FDA-approved injectables. These fillers are made of hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring molecule that helps skin stay hydrated and plump—it can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water! Among the JUVÉDERM family, Vollure and Voluma are the longest-lasting fillers, with results lasting up to 18 months and two years, respectively.

How Does JUVÉDERM® Work?
JUVÉDERM uses hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in your body, to restore volume to your skin. This helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles and folds.
- Hydration: Hyaluronic acid binds to water molecules, keeping your skin hydrated and plump.
- Volume: JUVÉDERM is injected into your skin, attracting water and adding volume to the area.
- Collagen stimulation: JUVÉDERM also helps your body produce more collagen, a protein that gives your skin structure and elasticity.
All JUVÉDERM fillers contain cross-linked hyaluronic acid. This means the molecules are connected, creating a more stable gel that lasts longer. This unique formulation ensures that your results are both immediate and long-lasting.
Is JUVÉDERM® Right For Me?
JUVÉDERM® dermal fillers are a great option for people who want to:
- Rejuvenate their facial features: Whether you’re looking to reduce wrinkles, plump your lips, or enhance your cheekbones, JUVÉDERM® can help.
- Restore lost volume: As we age, our skin naturally loses volume. JUVÉDERM® can help restore fullness and youthful contours.
- Avoid surgery: Dermal fillers offer a non-surgical alternative to invasive procedures like facelifts. Be aware, though, that results with injectable fillers aren’t nearly as dramatic as surgery.
- Live a healthy lifestyle: Dermal fillers can complement a healthy lifestyle and help you look and feel your best.
JUVÉDERM® fillers are suitable for people of all skin colors and genders. While most of our patients are in their 30s to 60s, you can start treatment as early as your 20s to prevent more severe aging issues in the future. If you’re looking to improve the appearance of your skin or prevent future aging and you’re generally healthy, dermal fillers are a great option. While JUVÉDERM® fillers are a versatile treatment, they may not be for everyone. If you have severe skin sagging or dynamic wrinkles, you might need other treatments like a facelift or BOTOX® to achieve your desired results.
What Can I Treat With JUVÉDERM®?
JUVÉDERM fillers are a popular and effective way to address signs of aging. These gel-like substances are injected beneath the skin to:
- Smooth fine lines and wrinkles
- Soften creases
- Enhance contours
- Restore volume
Not only do JUVÉDERM fillers provide immediate results, but they may also stimulate your body’s natural collagen production. This can help improve skin firmness and elasticity over time.
JUVÉDERM filler is a versatile treatment that can help enhance many areas of your face. Here are some common areas:
- Lips
- Cheeks
- Nasolabial folds
- Marionette lines
- Under-eye hollows
- Jawline
- Acne scars
When Will I See Results?
You’ll notice a difference right away. Your skin will look fuller, more contoured, or smoother. With most injectables, what you see is what you get. There might be some swelling or bruising, but that’s usually temporary. It can take a couple of weeks for the swelling to subside completely, and that’s when you’ll see the final results.
How Long Do JUVÉDERM® Results Last?
JUVÉDERM can last a while, but it depends on a few things. People sometimes see results for up to 2 years, while others might need touch-ups sooner. The type of filler, how much is used, where it’s injected, and your body’s metabolism all play a role.
Here’s a quick breakdown:
- Skinvive: Up to 6 months
- Ultra XC, Ultra Plus XC, Volux XC, and Volbella XC: Up to 12 months
- Vollure XC: Up to 18 months
- Voluma XC: 12 months or longer in the chin, and up to 24 months in the cheeks
Generally, thinner skin areas with less movement tend to hold onto filler longer. Your body’s metabolism also makes a difference.
Aftercare and Healing
You’ll see results right away! Recovery is usually fairly straightforward, and you can quickly return to your normal routine.
Here are some tips for a smooth recovery:
- For the first 48 hours, try not to touch, press, or rub your face. This helps the filler settle in properly.
- Intense heat can affect your results. Limit sun exposure and avoid saunas, hot showers, and hot environments.
- After treatment, your skin might be more sensitive, so be careful not to bruise it. Avoid excessive pressure.
- Try to keep your face still for a few days. This helps prevent the filler from spreading.
- Protect your skin from the sun, especially in the days after treatment. Wear a sunscreen of at least SPF 30.
- Sleep on your back. This can help prevent swelling and bruising.
- Don’t wash your face for 12 hours. After that, use a gentle cleanser.
- Avoid alcohol for 24 hours.
- Limit strenuous exercise.
How to Prepare for JUVÉDERM®
To get ready for your JUVÉDERM appointment, here are a few things to keep in mind:
- Avoid blood thinners like aspirin, ibuprofen, and vitamin E for at least 24 hours before the treatment. These medications can increase the risk of bruising.
- Avoid caffeine and alcohol for at least 24 hours before your appointment. These can cause swelling and affect your results.
- Rest and avoid strenuous exercise for a couple of days before your treatment. This can help your body prepare for the procedure.
How Much Does JUVÉDERM® Cost in Newport Beach?
The cost of JUVÉDERM can vary, but according to RealSelf, you can expect to pay around $775 on average. It could be as low as $330 or as high as $2,200. The price depends on a few things like the type of filler and how much you need.
Is JUVÉDERM® Safe?
JUVÉDERM is FDA-approved as a safe and effective treatment for wrinkles. It’s made with hyaluronic acid, which your body naturally produces, so allergic reactions are rare. The main risks are usually from improper injection techniques.
The biggest concern is accidentally injecting into a blood vessel, which can cause serious problems. This is why it’s important to choose a qualified injector.
After your treatment, you might experience some tenderness, bruising, and swelling. This usually goes away within a couple of weeks. Cold compresses and gentle skincare can help.
Lips can swell more because they have a good blood supply, but this can happen anywhere. There might also be redness, itching, or discoloration.
It’s normal for lumps and bumps to appear, especially around the lips. Your Orange County aesthetic injector can usually smooth them out during the treatment, but they might become more noticeable later. These normally go away on their own, but if they don’t, there’s a treatment called hyaluronidase that can dissolve them.
JUVÉDERM® vs. Restylane®: What’s the Difference?
Both JUVÉDERM and Restylane® are great options for adding volume and smoothing wrinkles, but they have different textures and are used for slightly different things.
Texture & Consistency
- JUVÉDERM: With a smoother, gel-like texture, JUVÉDERM is better suited for treating larger areas and addressing wrinkles and fine lines. Its smoother consistency allows for a more natural and less invasive approach.
- Restylane: Known for its granular and cohesive texture, Restylane offers a firmer consistency that is often preferred for treating marionette lines and adding volume to sunken areas. Its firmer nature allows for more precise sculpting and definition.
How They’re Used
- JUVÉDERM: Due to its smoother texture and ability to spread more evenly, JUVÉDERM is often used to treat fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth, eyes, and forehead. It can also add volume to the lips and cheeks, but may not provide as much definition as Restylane.
- Restylane: Its ability to add volume and define facial features makes it ideal for addressing sunken cheeks, hollow temples, and other areas that have lost fullness. Restylane can also enhance lips and improve the appearance of nasolabial folds.
Longevity of Results
- JUVÉDERM: JUVÉDERM generally lasts slightly longer than Restylane, with results lasting up to 18 months or more. As always, though, individual experiences can vary.
- Restylane: While Restylane typically lasts for 6-12 months, individual results may vary depending on lifestyle, metabolism, and the amount of filler injected.
Patient Preference & Considerations
- Individual Needs: The best choice between Restylane and JUVÉDERM depends on your specific goals and preferences. Consulting with a qualified Newport Beach injector can help you determine the most suitable filler for your needs.
