Dr. Arroyo offers the Juvederm® family of dermal fillers to help patients restore volume to their faces and help reduce common signs of aging. He spends time with each patient to understand their cosmetic treatment goals and isn’t satisfied unless he achieves them.
What is Juvederm?
Juvederm is a type of dermal filler created from hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance that gives skin volume, moisture, and elasticity.
In addition, hyaluronic acid injections boost the production of collagen in the skin. This FDA-approved line of dermal fillers includes several different product variations, each designed to treat specific cosmetic concerns.
Your Treatment
With Dr. Arroyo
During your consultation with Dr. Arroyo, you will discuss your cosmetic goals, and he will recommend how best to achieve them. After this, he will develop a comprehensive treatment plan specifically tailored to your needs. When it is time to inject the dermal fillers, he will start by numbing the area. Juvederm injections also contain a small amount of lidocaine, which helps reduce pain. Between injections, the areas being treated may be massaged to help reduce swelling and ensure an even distribution of the product. When receiving a cheek augmentation at Houston's Arroyo Plastic Surgery, the process usually takes between 15 and 60 minutes, depending on the goals of the treatment.
