Over time your skin loses elasticity. This natural process, plus genetics and environmental factors like sun exposure, can cause moderate to severe lines and folds such as parentheses, corner and marionette lines to form around the mouth. Juvederm Ultra Plus XC can help fill these lines and give you natural-looking results that last.
Fillers Procedure
- Karen Whitney, PA will choose the filler or fillers best suited for your individual concerns.
- Fillers are injected under the skin to treat the areas of concern.
- Treatment takes a matter of minutes, depending upon how many areas are being treated.
- For many areas of the face, the injections are well tolerated with no anesthetic. A topical anesthetic may be used to increase comfort level.
Fillers Recovery

- Avoid intense heat, such as that from a sun lamp or sun bathing, until there is no more redness or swelling.
- Avoid taking aspirin, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications, St. John’s Wort, and high doses of Vitamin E supplements for a week after being treated to minimize the chance of bruising.
