Juvederm
Conveniently located to serve the areas of Tualatin and Portland, Oregon
Here at Gorin Plastic Surgery & Medspa we offer dermal fillers to our patients looking to prevent aging or recreate a youthful cosmetic appearance since with age your skin loses its elasticity and produces less collagen accentuating wrinkles and volume loss. There is a way to take preventative measures or restore your beauty with the Juvederm line of filler products.
The experience and skill of the injector preforming Juvederm treatments is one of the most important elements in achieving optimal results, and we’re proud to have a team of MedSpa injectors with a extensive record of loyal patients and 5 star service.

Procedure
JUVÉDERM® dermal filler is an injectable colorless gel that is a nonsurgical (non-invasive) procedure that brings youth and suppleness back into your skin and is mostly used to rejuvenate and or enhance facial features. Juvederm can also be used as an aging preventive. JUVÉDERM® is injected with tiny needles into the dermis part of the facial tissue where moderate to severe wrinkles and folds occur temporarily adding volume to the skin giving it a smoother cosmetic appearance. Cheeks, Lips, and facial lines are the most common Juvederm treatment areas, along with the chin.
What is JUVÉDERM® made of?
Juvederm products consist of hyaluronic acid (HA) which is a naturally occurring sugar found in the human body that delivers nutrients, hydrates the skin by holding in water, and acts as a cushioning agent. Also a small quantity of local anesthetic (lidocaine) which helps to reduce the pain with the injection.
Do Juvederm Injections Hurt?
Some discomfort may occur during and after the injection procedure, although all juvederm injectable products contain lidocaine to reduce injection site pain. Our experienced Juvederm injectors may also use a topical anesthetic ointment placed on the injection site to further minimize discomfort at the time of the cosmetic procedure.

Expectations
During your consultation, you will discuss cosmetic goals and look at your medical history to determine which dermal filler is best suited for your cosmetic needs. They will assess the right amount to use, and even provide recommendations to combine your filler treatment with BOTOX® Cosmetic injections or various other therapies to make for a more complete facial rejuvenation experience.
During your procedure the filler is injected into the skin or lips, and since both Juvederm and Restylane products contain lidocaine, a local anesthetic, the treated area has little to no discomfort.
Recovery
Generally you can continue with your day however, it’s recommended that you stay away from strenuous exercise, extensive sun or heat exposure, and alcoholic beverages for the first 24 hours otherwise swelling, redness or itching may occur. If swelling does occur, place ice packs on the area to relieve the swelling. After the initial 48 hours, though, you will feel nothing but love for your new, sexy, lush lips!
