Questions about Juvederm Treatments:


What is Juvederm™ ?

Juvederm™ Ultra and Ultra Plus is a hyaluronic acid dermal filler. This injectable is a “smooth gel” that flows consistently into the skin to smooth away wrinkles, folds and to restore volume.

What areas are treated with Juvederm™ ?
Juvederm™ is being used to correct those areas of the face and jaw line that need to be rejuvenated.

What’s different about the Juvederm™ formulations from other
dermal fillers?

J uvederm™ is available in two injectable gel formulations – Juvederm™ Ultra and Ultra Plus. The Juvederm™ Ultra gel allows for more versatility in restoring contour and volume to your face and smoothing away wrinkles and folds. Juvederm™ Ultra Plus is a more robust formula, which allows for treatment of deeper wrinkles and folds while restoring volume as well.

Is Juvederm™ suitable for persons of color and different skin tones?
YES. Juvederm™ is the first hyaluronic acid dermal filler to be approved by the FDA for safe, effective treatment for persons of color and different skin tones – without the risk of hyper-pigmentation and hyper-tropic scarring?

How does Juvederm™ differ from Botox Cosmetic®?
Botox is not a dermal filler – it is a muscle relaxant generally used in the upper facial area to relax that area between the eyes that cause those two parallel lines.

What is hyaluronic acid and cross-linking?
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in all mammals that helps keep the skin hydrated. As we age, production slows down and lines, wrinkles and folds begin to appear. Cross-linking is a unique manufacturing process that makes Juvederm™ effective and longer lasting.

Are Juvederm™ treatments painful and how long does it take?
Since it is a smooth gel that flows easily and consistently into the skin, there is very little to no discomfort. A treatment generally takes 15 minutes or more.

How long do the results from a Juvederm™ treatment last?
Results last 6 months or longer. Follow-up treatments may be needed for maintenance.

Can I get financing for Juvederm™ treatments?
Yes – today there are many cosmetic procedures that can be financed with Care Credit financing.

Remember: If it doesn’t look natural – it doesn’t look good. Dr. Leong is skilled in achieving the most natural looking results possible - he’s a specialist and you can trust your face to him.

  • Dr. Leong is especially pleased to be one of the first practices in Pittsburgh to offer Dysport by Medicis. Dysport (sometimes called Reloxin) is a cosmetic treatment for facial wrinkles that functions in a very similar way to Botox Cosmetic. Dysport has been used for many years in Europe and Canada with great success and is now being offered by our practice at an especially affordable price. Please call for details.
