As we start to get older, our faces change. We typically see lines and creases around the mouth and nose that makes us appear tired or angry. Our experienced team of injectors use JUVEDERM ULTRA and ULTRA PLUS on people living in and around Austin, Westlake Hills and Central Texas.
JUVEDERM ULTRA PLUS is one of the most advanced cosmetic fillers to plump and correct the lines, folds, and crease around the mouth. Juvederm Ultra Plus is most often used specifically for adding volume to the vertical lines around the mouth, but other delicate areas such as the lines around the eyes can benefit from this dermal filler also. Juvederm also has added lidocaine to their fillers, which eliminates most discomfort.

AM I A CANDIDATE FOR JUVEDERM ULTRA PLUS?
The ideal candidate for JUVEDERM ULTRA PLUS has noticeable lines around the mouth along with thinner lips that have lost volume. Additionally, there are moderate to severe lines and folds that may extend from the bottom of the nose to the chin making people look unhappy or tired. Plumping up these lines refreshes the face giving it a younger appearance.
WHAT HAPPENS IN A JUVEDERM ULTRA PLUS TREATMENT?
JUVEDERM ULTRA PLUS treatments are easy and quick. Makeup is removed and the areas to be treated are covered with a topical numbing cream to prevent any discomfort or anxiety with needles. The area is then sterilized and cleaned. Once this is done, the injections are made just under the skin to add volume.
The deeper lines and folds that drag your face down are treated with ULTRA PLUS to smooth the areas and almost lift your facial expression to look rested.
HOW LONG DOES A JUVEDERM ULTRA PLUS APPOINTMENT TAKE?
The treatment time takes 30 minutes or less on average, depending on the number of injections and how many areas are treated. It may even be possible to have the treatments immediately following your consultation if time allows.
WHEN WILL I SEE RESULTS OF COSMETIC FILLER?
You may see some results immediately following your JUVEDERM ULTRA PLUS treatments; however, the full results do not fully reveal themselves for several weeks following your treatment. These results last up to a year.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What other Juvederm Cosmetic Fillers are there?
Some of the most common Juvederm family of fillers are Vollure, Voluma, Volbella and Juvederm Ultra Plus.
How much filler will I need?
Recommended amounts of filler vary depending on client personal aesthetic goals, volume loss, skin thickness, and more unique defining factors. Clients with more volume and collagen loss will need more filler to attain desirable results. Clients with thicker skin might be recommended more filler, or a different type of filler that will provide their skin with more support and lift. Certain clients want a natural look, therefore they might be recommended less filler, whereas clients that want dramatic changes will be recommended more filler. There is a delicate balance between type of filler, amount of filler, and clients needs that will need to be addressed by our professional and knowledgeable staff here at Beaux before proceeding with your injectable treatment.
Will I look overdone?
Due to the fact that Juvederm’s main ingredient, HA, is a naturally occurring substance in our bodies, the results of using this material for cosmetic purposes is actually quite natural. The HA will simply provide support in place of lost volume, collagen, and fat, which allows for a youthful and natural result. Further, the soft nature of the gel filler is made to mimic the suppleness of youthful skin (which is why particular fillers with particular thicknesses will be recommended for different areas of concern). People can of course achieve a more dramatic look by request, but a natural look is absolutely within reach.
Do Volbella treatments hurt?
The second main ingredient present in Juvederm is 0.3% of the anesthetic lidocaine, which serves to make the injection experience smoother and more comfortable. Of course, perception of pain is a unique experience for everyone, but most clients will only feel a mild discomfort due to the combined numbing of the topical and injectable anesthetic that accompanies the procedure. Areas with thinner skin, such as around the mouth, will be slightly more sensitive as well. Further, the cooling effect from the ice that will be applied to the area following injections helps reduce any pain at injections sites.
Can this filler be dissolved?
Not to fear, there is absolutely a method for dissolving HA filler via injection of the enzyme hyaluronidase. This enzyme is another naturally-occurring substance found in the body (therefore it is safe and effective) that is able to degrade hyaluronic acid (HA) by catalyzing the bodys ability to absorb the material. This option is available per client desire, such as for clients that might be unhappy with their injectable filler injection, and per client need, such as clients that have an adverse reaction to the filler or those that have filler injected in a blood vessel. If HA filler is inadvertently injected in a blood vessel, it can cause negative side effects such as skin ulceration, breakdown, and necrosis, but thankfully hyaluronidase can reverse these effects. It is recommended to get this antidote by the provider that did the injection.
