We Offer Juvederm to Bloomington, MN Patients

Juvederm™ is a stabilized hyaluronic acid used to smooth moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds around the nose and mouth or shape facial contours. It is approved by the FDA for cosmetic treatment of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and soft tissue depressions.

Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is a naturally occurring substance that is found within all mammals, a material contained in various soft tissues. HA can be synthesized from a process of bacterial fermentation, chemically stabilized and purified for use as injectable soft tissue filler (non-animal, stabilized hyaluronic acid). The HA in Juvederm™ is biocompatible and is a totally non-animal product; there is little risk of animal-based disease transmission or allergic reaction. Undesirable results can be reversed using Vitrase, an enzyme that dissolves the HA in Juvederm. Minneapolis area patients can now get great dentistry as well as cosmetic treatments from Point Family Dentistry.

At our dental office in Bloomington, MN, Juvederm™ injections are customized per patient, depending on their needs. These can be performed in areas involving the face, forehead and lips. It cannot, however, stop the process of aging. It can temporarily diminish the look of wrinkles and soft tissue depressions. These injections may be performed as a singular procedure, in combination with other treatments such as Botox®, or as an adjunct to a surgical procedure. Juvederm™ injections require regional nerve blocks or local anesthetic injections to diminish discomfort when injected into the lip and lip area. Soft tissue fillers, including Juvederm™ produce temporary swelling, redness and needle marks, which resolve after a few days.

Continuing treatments are necessary in order to maintain the effect of Juvederm™ over time. Once the Juvederm is injected it will slowly be absorbed by the body. The length of effect varies per individual.
