Treatment tips:

If you have previously suffered from facial cold sores, there is a risk that the needle punctures could contribute to another recurrence. Dr. Behroozan will inform you about the medications that you can take prior to treatment that will minimize a recurrence.

One week prior to your treatment with Juvederm®, avoid taking St. John's Wort, high doses of Vitamin E supplements, aspirin, and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications, such as Ibuprofen. These agents may increase bruising and bleeding at the injection site.

Following the injections swelling and redness may be present at the injection site. The area may be sensitive to the touch and may also be slightly bruised. All of these reactions should subside within 48 hours.

The Non Surgical eyelift involves the placement of small microdroplet amounts of a filler substance such as Juvederm in the lower eyelids skin to rejuvenate the lower eyelids, decreasing the appearance of “bags” and “dark lines” underneath the eyelids. While previously surgery was needed to produce these results, Dr. Behroozan has mastered a technique which can produce similar results without pain and NO SURGERY.

As one gets older, the lower eyelids become hollow. In some, “bags” develop in the lower eyelids which in reality are protruding fat pads deep underneath the skin. Previously, surgery (blepharoplasty) was performed in an attempt to remove these fat pads, and as a result left patients with an even more “hollow” appearance which could not be reversed. Dr. Behroozan’s experience is that filling these areas with a natural hyluronic acid filler can lead to a reversible correction and camouflaging of these bags.

When performed by Dr. Behroozan, this procedure is a minimally invasive, no down time procedure that can be performed after placement of a topical numbing cream without any incisions or surgery of any kind. The results can last up to one year.

If you have want to improve the appearance of your eyelids, don’t want to have surgery, and are frustrated with that “tired look” on your face, this procedure may be right for you.

In addition, Dr. Behroozan can combine this procedure with the Fraxel laser for more optimal results.

FAQ's - Frequently Asked Questions

Juvéderm™ injectable gel is a “next-generation” smooth consistency gel dermal filler that helps to instantly restore your skin's volume and smooth away facial wrinkles and folds like your “smile lines” or “parentheses” (nasolabial folds—the creases that run from the bottom of your nose to the corners of your mouth). Juvéderm™ comes in two formulations—Juvéderm™ Ultra and Juvéderm™ Ultra Plus.

Juvéderm™ injectable gel temporarily adds volume to facial tissue and restores a smoother appearance to the face.

Juvéderm™ Ultra and Juvéderm™ Ultra Plus injectable gels are indicated for injection into the mid to deep dermis (below the outer layer of skin) for the correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds (the creases running from the bottom of your nose to the corners of your mouth).

Juvéderm™ injectable gel is available in two formulations to allow your healthcare professional to tailor treatment to your unique needs. Juvéderm™ Ultra provides versatility in contouring and volumizing facial wrinkles and folds. Juvéderm™ Ultra Plus is a more robust formulation for volumizing and correcting deeper folds and wrinkles.

Juvéderm™ injectable gel employs its unique manufacturing process to provide the highest concentration of cross-linked hyaluronic acid of any currently available hyaluronic acid dermal filler for long-lasting results. This advanced manufacturing process works to create a smooth consistency gel that flows easily into the skin and provides a smooth, natural look and feel. All other currently approved hyaluronic acid dermal fillers are made of granular consistency gels. And, Juvéderm™ is the first hyaluronic acid dermal filler that has demonstrated its safety and effectiveness in persons of color.

Juvéderm™ injectable gel is a “next generation” hyaluronic acid dermal filler that provides volume and is used to treat wrinkles and folds resulting from a loss of volume beneath the surface of the skin such as perioral lines and nasolabial folds (lines around your mouth and nose). Juvéderm™ restores your skin's volume for a smooth, natural look and feel. BOTOX® Cosmetic is not a filler. BOTOX® Cosmetic relaxes muscle activity and is used to treat moderate to severe lines caused by the dominant frown muscles between the eyebrows (the glabellar area). This allows the two vertical lines between the brows, often referred to as the “11,” to temporarily diminish for a smoother appearance.

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance found in all mammals that helps to hydrate and add volume to your skin. In addition to its use as an aesthetic treatment, hyaluronic acid has also been used for more than 20 years for injection into arthritic joints to aid movement as well as for eye surgeries and wound repair.

“Uncross-linked” hyaluronic acid in its natural form is in a liquid state. “Cross-linking” is the process through which hyaluronic acid is made into a gel product that can be injected into the skin for long-lasting results.

Dr. Behroozan eases Juvéderm™ injectable gel into the skin using a fine needle to temporarily fill in and augment the treatment area and smooth moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds such as “smile lines” or “parentheses” (nasolabial folds) and “marionette lines” (oral commissures). Juvéderm™ temporarily adds volume to the skin and may give the appearance of a smoother surface.

Juvéderm™ injectable gel will help to smooth moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds. Most patients need one treatment to achieve optimal wrinkle smoothing, and the results last about 6-9 months.

Injections may cause some discomfort during and after the injection. The smooth consistency gel of Juvéderm™ allows your doctor to administer it easily and smoothly. And, Juvéderm™ is injected directly into the skin using a fine needle to reduce injection discomfort. Your doctor may choose to numb (anesthetize) the treatment area to further minimize discomfort.

The injection process takes only about 15 minutes. You'll also need to allow time to consult with your doctor prior to treatment.

Any authorized healthcare professional can administer Juvéderm™ injectable gel, but dermatologists are generally more experienced.

No. Correction is temporary; therefore, touch-up injections as well as repeat injections are usually needed to maintain optimal corrections.

The unique formulation of Juvéderm™ provides results that last up to 6 months or longer.

Most side effects are mild or moderate in nature, and their duration is short lasting (7 days or less). The most common side effects include, but are not limited to, temporary injections site reactions such as: redness, pain/tenderness, firmness, swelling, lumps/bumps, bruising, itching, and discoloration. As with all skin injection procedures there is a risk of infection.

Yes. In fact, Juvéderm™ injectable gel is the first FDA-approved hyaluronic acid dermal filler that has proven its safety and effectiveness in persons of color. Studies with Juvéderm™ showed no increased risk of hyperpigmentation or hypertrophic scarring in patients of color
