What is Juvéderm®?
Juvéderm® is a dermal filler designed to:
- Smooth out wrinkles and fine lines around the nose, mouth, and cheeks.
- Restore facial volume lost due to aging, weight loss, or other factors.
- Plump lips and contour cheeks, enhancing overall facial symmetry and structure.
- Unlike invasive surgeries, Juvéderm® is a minimally invasive procedure that provides immediate, natural-looking results.
Ideal Candidates for Juvéderm®
Juvéderm® is suitable for:
- Adults seeking to reduce signs of aging, such as fine lines, wrinkles, or volume loss.
- Individuals looking to enhance facial features, including lip augmentation or cheek definition.
- Those in good health with realistic expectations for the outcome. It’s important that candidates are non-smokers or willing to stop smoking prior to and after treatment to ensure proper healing.
What to Expect During Your Juvéderm® Consultation?
During your consultation with Dr. Rau, you can expect:

The procedure and benefits
Juvéderm® treatments typically last 15 to 60 minutes, depending on the areas being treated. The procedure involves:

Juvéderm® offers several advantages:
- Quick, noticeable results with minimal recovery time.
- Long-lasting effects that can endure up to 12-18 months, depending on the formulation and treatment area.
- Non-invasive option for facial rejuvenation, avoiding the need for surgery.
After your Juvéderm® treatment
- Mild swelling or redness may occur at the injection sites, but these side effects typically resolve within a few days.
- No downtime required: You can return to your daily activities immediately following the procedure.
- Results will appear instantly, with full results visible once the swelling subsides.
