Facial aging affects everyone differently. Over time, the skin gradually loses collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid, causing wrinkles to deepen and facial contours to lose definition. Juvéderm® offers a nonsurgical way to restore volume, smooth facial lines, and enhance natural features with results that look refreshed—not overdone. Whether you’re interested in fuller lips, softer smile lines, or more youthful facial contours, Juvéderm can be customized to your individual goals.
At Central Florida Eye Institute, Dr. Thomas Croley, a board-certified ophthalmologist with decades of experience in facial aesthetics and oculoplastic procedures, combines an artistic eye with an in-depth understanding of facial anatomy. Every treatment begins with a personalized consultation to evaluate facial balance, discuss aesthetic concerns, and develop a customized treatment plan designed to achieve natural-looking results while preserving facial expression.
What is Juvéderm?
Juvéderm is a family of FDA-approved dermal fillers made from hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance that helps the skin maintain moisture, elasticity, and volume. As hyaluronic acid production decreases with age, the face may develop wrinkles, folds, and hollow areas.
Juvéderm fillers are formulated with varying consistencies to address different areas of the face, allowing treatment to be tailored to each patient’s unique needs. Results are immediate, and because hyaluronic acid integrates naturally into the skin, the outcome is smooth and natural-looking.
What Can Juvéderm Treat?
Juvéderm can improve many common signs of facial aging, including:
Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
Marionette lines
Vertical lip lines
Thin or aging lips
Loss of cheek volume
Chin enhancement
Jawline definition
Mild facial asymmetry
During your consultation, Dr. Croley will recommend the most appropriate Juvéderm product based on the treatment area, skin quality, and desired outcome.
What Happens During Treatment?
Juvéderm treatments are performed in the office and typically take 30 to 45 minutes. After cleansing the treatment area, Dr. Croley carefully places the filler using precise injection techniques designed to create smooth, balanced facial contours.
Many Juvéderm products contain lidocaine, a local anesthetic that enhances comfort throughout the procedure. Once treatment is complete, patients may return to most normal daily activities with little interruption.
Recovery and Results
Most patients experience only mild swelling, redness, tenderness, or bruising at the injection sites. These effects generally improve within several days.
Results are visible immediately after treatment, with final improvements becoming more noticeable as any swelling subsides. Depending on the Juvéderm product used and the area treated, results may last from six months to two years. Periodic maintenance treatments can help preserve facial volume and maintain a refreshed appearance.
