Juvederm: for hydrated and plumped skin
Juvederm is one of the non-invasive alternatives offered at the Victoria Park Medispa clinic for smoothing wrinkles and increasing skin firmness. This facial rejuvenation treatment, when injected, helps the skin maintain a smooth and youthful appearance.
It is a dermal filler, meaning a substance that is injected into the skin to correct imperfections such as wrinkles and fine lines. This treatment is an effective alternative to surgery and offers long-term results. These characteristics have made it a globally used and renowned product. Quick and relatively painless, its effects are almost instantaneous.
What is Juvederm, and how does it work?
Juvederm is a facial filler that contains a hyaluronic acid gel. This molecule is naturally present in the body and contributes to hydration and skin elasticity. Over time, however, its production decreases, and the skin can become hollow. This creates the impression of a sagging or tired face. Juvederm is one of the products that can compensate for this lack, giving the skin a boost to remain supple. It involves localized injections, which the healthcare professional administers using a very fine needle into the patient’s skin. With this treatment, the Victoria Park Medispa team can help anyone who wants to reshape their facial contours: Juvederm is very effective for restoring volume in all desired areas, as well as for lip reshaping.
And since it is injected, the tightening effects of the product are immediate. The product reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines and redefines areas such as the cheeks or lips. Overall, the entire face can appear more radiant, while maintaining a natural look. One of the most appreciated advantages of Juvederm is that its results do not affect facial movements. Thus, expressions remain the same, whether it’s laughing or frowning.

Juvederm injections: for whom?
Juvederm is suitable for anyone who wants to prolong the youthfulness of their face.
The Victoria Park Medispa team can offer it to reduce the appearance of frown lines, forehead wrinkles, fine lines around the eyes, nose, or lips. There is actually a complete range of Juvederm treatments, with hyaluronic acid gels of varying densities. Dense gels are intended for pronounced wrinkles, while lighter ones are suitable for fine lines. Depending on the area to be treated, the healthcare professional at Victoria Park Medispa determines the most appropriate product category. For example, a patient who wants to reduce the folds around their nose can benefit from Juvederm Volift injections, a category that acts deeply. A person who wants to reduce fine lines around their eyes, on the other hand, can be offered Juvederm Volbella injections. This category effectively treats superficial skin folds, including small expression lines that affect the gaze.
Moreover, the Juvederm treatment can also be offered to patients who want to plump or modify certain facial features. Dark circles and bags under the eyes are areas that can benefit from it. It is a product that promotes lip redefinition, giving them a natural outline. For men, it is a treatment that can be used to define the jawline, making it more square, for example. It is also a good way to modify the structure of the nose or chin, particularly to reduce the appearance of a double chin. Patients who want to avoid surgery can thus enjoy immediate benefits for the long term.
The Juvederm treatment: how does it work?
To benefit from an effective, long-lasting, and natural Juvederm treatment, it is recommended to first schedule a consultation with a healthcare professional at Victoria Park Medispa. This first step is crucial to achieve the desired result and to ensure the treatment is safe. The initial meeting is a good opportunity for the patient to share their aesthetic goals, as well as their concerns and questions. The professional should also be informed of past or ongoing treatments, surgical interventions, and the patient’s medical history. All these elements allow them to make an informed decision about the most suitable product for the procedure. On the day of the treatment, the patient should set aside between half an hour and an hour. The professional begins by numbing the area to be injected to ensure the patient’s comfort. The treatment is thus almost painless.
However, after the injection, some side effects may occur. Swelling of the treated area, redness, skin hardening, or small bumps are among the most common effects. They usually subside within the following seven days. The Victoria Park Medispa professional also provides the patient with advice to avoid infections and ways to protect their skin immediately after the procedure. Depending on the treated area, a second or third treatment may be necessary to perfect the results. The Juvederm treatment can last between nine and twenty-four months; again, this depends on the product used, the treated area, and the patient’s characteristics (such as their metabolism, skin quality, and tissues).
In summary
Juvederm is a dermal filler based on hyaluronic acid designed to reduce wrinkles, restore volume, and hydrate the skin. By integrating into the tissues, it fills wrinkles and redefines facial contours while maintaining a natural appearance and intact facial expressions.
Juvederm can reduce frown lines, forehead wrinkles, fine lines around the eyes, and nasolabial folds. It is also used to plump lips, fill dark circles, redefine the jawline, or modify features such as the chin and nose. Its varied range allows it to treat deep wrinkles as well as superficial fine lines.
The session begins with a consultation to define aesthetic goals. The treatment, lasting 30 to 60 minutes, includes local anesthesia to ensure comfort. After the injection, redness or swelling may appear, but these effects usually disappear within a few days. Results are visible immediately after the session.
The effects of Juvederm typically last between 9 and 24 months, depending on the treated area, the product used, and individual characteristics, such as metabolism and skin quality. Maintenance sessions can extend the results.
Dermal fillers and muscle relaxants offered at Victoria Park Medispa
To counteract the effects of time and fatigue, the healthcare professionals at Victoria Park Medispa can combine the effects of a muscle relaxant with those of a dermal filler.
Botox, for example, is one of the most well-known muscle relaxants. Its particularity: it limits communication between the nerve and the muscle. The product thus stops the contraction of the muscle responsible for creating wrinkles. When administered in conjunction with a dermal filler, such as Belotero, Juvederm, or Restylane, it can enhance the results. The skin appears not only plumped but also smoother.
