what is Juvéderm®?
New York City dentist, Dr. Jason Kasarsky, is proud to offer patients JUVÉDERM®, a derma filler that can help reduce and soften lines and wrinkles around the mouth and nose. JUVÉDERM® is one of the most popular fillers used today, comprised of hyaluronic acid, which is a natural substance found in the skin. It is common to place this filler around the mouth, especially in the nasolabial folds (laugh lines), within the lips to create fullness, and in the cracks that appear along the mouth. FDA approved and safe to use for cosmetic purposes, Dr. Kasarsky uses this treatment for patients who desire wrinkle reduction and facial softness. It is a great product to use for our smile makeover patients who want the "extra touch" in creating a winning smile and a more youthful appearance.

Reviews
Who Are Ideal Candidates for JUVÉDERM?
The ideal candidates for JUVÉDERM injectable treatments are adults who have facial lines and wrinkles they want to fix. It may also help if you have naturally thin or age-related volume loss in your lips and/or cheeks. JUVÉDERM dermal filler treatments at Jason Kasarsky, DDS are fantastic if you would like to refresh your appearance while avoiding the downtime and expense of plastic surgery (like facelifts, brow lifts, eyelid lifts, or lip implants).
how does Juvéderm® treatment work?
JUVÉDERM injections take place directly inside our New York City dental practice. During your appointment, Dr. Kasarsky will mark the areas to be injected and will clean the injection sites thoroughly. A numbing ointment will be applied that will need to sit for a few minutes, which will help reduce any discomfort during the procedure. Once the areas become slightly numb, the filler will be injected directly into the skin through a very fine needle. A very light cold compress will be applied after each injection. Patients are generally able to return to normal activities the same day, although there may be slight redness and swelling for a couple of hours following treatment.
What results can i Expect with Juvéderm®?
Patients who receive JUVÉDERM injections usually see the results of their treatment almost immediately. The skin will appear fuller and softer, with a significant decrease in lines and wrinkles on the skin's surface. Results from a JUVÉDERM treatment typically last up to a full year. It is recommended that patients avoid exercise for about 24 hours and to sleep upright the first night following treatment.
JUVÉDERM FAQ
How much does JUVÉDERM cost?
Your cost for a JUVÉDERM injection will be dependent on how much filler is necessary for the treatment area. Before your JUVÉDERM treatment, a customized treatment plan will be created to match your aesthetic goals. After this, your injector will discuss cost estimates and payment options.
Are JUVÉDERM injections painful?
Though most patients do not think it's needed, a local anesthetic can be applied to the treatment area before injection if you are concerned about pain. After the treatment, you might feel some slight bruising and swelling that should subside within a week. You should contact Jason Kasarsky D.D.S, if you experience any severe pain or signs of an infection after your treatment.
What is the difference between a wrinkle filler and a relaxer?
Injectable relaxers and fillers correct facial wrinkles but through different methods. Injectable wrinkle relaxers, like BOTOX, work to smooth dynamic wrinkles created by chronic muscle movements. JUVÉDERM is an injectable dermal filler that improves static wrinkles by increasing volume. JUVÉDERM is ideal for treating mild to moderate wrinkles or to reverse volume loss in your cheeks and lips.
What results can I expect?
You may need to wait several days to view the full improvements from your JUVÉDERM injections. Generally, it only takes one appointment to reach your aesthetic goal. However, you can schedule a second appointment if you would like to see more improvement or volume.
How long do results typically last?
The effects of one JUVÉDERM injection can last from 1 – 2 years. This can vary depending on which filler is used and where it was injected. The longevity of results will depend on how fast your body breaks down the formula.
