For example, Juvederm might be combined with skin rejuvenation procedures like laser resurfacing or microdermabrasion.Juvederm injections are carefully placed where they can support the underlying skin structure and smooth away wrinkles from the inside out. Most patients report little or no discomfort with the treatments, but topical numbing cream is available for sensitive areas or for patients worried about the level of discomfort involved. The number of injections will depend on the size of the treatment area and the depth of the wrinkle. Most Juvederm treatments take less than 15 minutes to complete.Results of Juvederm may be seen right away, although mild swelling at injection sites may occur. Results continue to improve in the days following the procedure. Juvederm treatments typically last up to six months, although some patients may be able to go as long as nine months before a touch-up treatment is required.
