What is Juvederm?
JUVÉDERM® XC is a smooth gel filler used to instantly smooth away wrinkles around the mouth and nose. It is manufactured using HYLACROSS™ technology, creating a smooth-consistency gel, and is infused with lidocaine to improve comfort during your treatment.
Types of Juvéderm Treatments
Because one size doesn’t fit all when it comes to wrinkle treatment, there are different types of Juvéderm treatments depending on your unique anatomy and goals:
Who Is a Good Candidate for Juvéderm?
This treatment is ideal for people whose skin has lost structure and volume due to aging, sunlight, and the natural reduction of HA. Candidates typically want to treat:
- Nasolabial folds (the parentheses lines around the nose and mouth)
- Smile lines and vertical lip lines
Different facial areas requiring contouring or volumizing, as there are various formulations available (like JUVÉDERM® Ultra XC, Ultra Plus XC, Voluma, and Volbella) that can be tailored to a patient’s unique anatomy and goals.
Enjoy the Real Benefits of Juvéderm
- The procedure is very fast; the actual injections generally take around 30 minutes .
- It safely replaces lost HA, adding volume and diminishing the appearance of wrinkles instantly.
- It provides smooth and natural-looking results.
- It is the first smooth-consistency HA gel and the only HA filler that's FDA approved to last up to one year with just one treatment.
When Will You See Results and How Long Do They Last?
Results vary based on how each individual’s body metabolizes the injections, but Juvéderm typically lasts for a period of 9 months to one year. However, certain areas of the face that experience more movement, such as the lips, will see faster volume depletion
Smooth Lines and Restore Volume With Juvéderm
Over time, it’s natural for our faces to lose a little of that youthful plumpness, leading to deeper lines or thinning lips. Custom Juvéderm® treatments by Dr. Nicole Schrader gently replenish lost volume, smoothing out folds and enhancing your features for a beautifully natural look.

Understanding Bruising and Side Effects
- Bruising: Bruising may occur but completely resolves within a few days to weeks, without affecting your final results.
- Swelling: Minimal swelling is a normal response following the treatment and will gradually subside on its own.
- Pre-Treatment Precautions: Avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, and garlic a few days prior to minimize the risk of bruising.
- Redness & Tenderness: Injection sites may appear slightly red or feel tender, but these mild symptoms typically fade within a day.
- Makeup & Concealing: If minor bruising does happen, it can easily be hidden with makeup after the initial 24-hour healing period.
- Temporary Firmness: You might feel slight firmness initially, but this will naturally soften as the product settles into your tissues.
Post-Treatment Care and Recovery
There is minimal downtime, and most patients are able to resume daily activities or return to work on the exact same day of the treatment. It is recommended to avoid exercise (other than walking) for 24 hours following the procedure. Dr. Schrader can also provide cool compresses to apply to the treated areas at home if necessary.
What to Expect During Your Treatment
The treatment is nonsurgical and physician-administered. During the visit, if it is your first time, Dr. Schrader will discuss your medical history before starting. She will then apply a lidocaine numbing cream to ensure maximum comfort. Using a fine needle, the JUVÉDERM® XC gel is eased under the skin to fill the soft tissue of the dermis, adding volume instantly.
What Makes Juvéderm Different?
While other hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers on the market have a more granular consistency, Juvéderm is uniquely formulated as the first smooth-consistency HA gel. This is achieved through an innovative manufacturing process called HYLACROSS™ technology, which creates an optimal gel structure that holds up over time. Additionally, it stands out as the #1 selling dermal filler in the U.S., and specific formulations like Ultra XC and Ultra Plus XC already have Xylocaine (an anesthetic) mixed into the filler.

Juvederm Frequently Asked Questions
How long does Juvederm last?
Results vary by person based on how the body metabolizes the injections, but Juvederm typically lasts for a period of 9 months to one year. The manufactures note that the HA products may last 6-12 months. However, certain areas of the face, such as the lips will have faster volume depletion due to their movement. Each person is an individual, so predicting precise longevity is difficult.
What makes Juvéderm different?
While other HA fillers on the market have a more granular consistency, Juvéderm injectable gel is the first smooth-consistency HA gel. It’s innovative manufacturing process gives Juvéderm its unique smooth-gel properties as well as an optimal gel structure that holds up over time. That’s why Juvéderm injectable gel is the only HA filler that’s FDA approved to last up to 1 year. In addition, Juvéderm Ultra XC and Juvéderm Ultra Plus XC have Xylocaine mixed in the filler.
Will there be bruising?
If you usually bruise with injections, there may be bruising with Juvéderm injectable gel. If you take apirin or ibuprofen every day, or if you supplement with omega 3’s, fish oil, or garlic every day, you should consider stopping those a few days before your appointment. If you do have bruising, it is fine to use cover-up makeup to hide it and it should completely resolve within a few days to a couple of weeks. If there is bruising, it does not diminish the effect of the Juvéderm injectable gel.
How long is the treatment?
The Juvederm procedure is very fast, and the actual injections generally take around 30 minutes. If this is your first visit with Dr. Schrader, you will need to allow for additional time before the injections are administered to discuss your medical history. Dr. Schrader will apply a lidocaine numbing cream to make the application more comfortable, and will have cool compresses for you to take home and apply to the treated areas if necessary.
How long will the area be swollen?
Most of Dr. Schrader’s patients are able to resume daily activities or return to work the day of treatment as there will be minimal swelling. In order to prevent a greater degree of swelling and bruising, it is advisable to avoid aspirin or ibuprofen containing products for a few days. It is also a good idea to avoid exercise other than walking for 24 hours following treatment.
