Juvéderm at Self Care LA

As a boutique medical spa in beautiful Northern Santa Monica, we offer the complete collection of Juvéderm fillers, allowing us to precisely target a range of aesthetic concerns so you can become an even better version of yourself. Our doctors and injectors are committed to helping you feel and look your best at any age.

What Is Juvéderm?

Juvéderm is a type of injectable filler made with hyaluronic acid—a substance your body already makes to keep your skin hydrated and full. Over time, your natural supply of hyaluronic acid starts to break down, which can lead to volume loss, deeper wrinkles, and a less defined facial shape. Juvéderm helps restore what’s been lost.

Think of it like a soft, smooth gel that adds structure just under the skin. It’s used to fill in lines, boost volume in the cheeks or lips, and improve facial contours. Different formulas in the Juvéderm family are made for specific areas—some are designed to softly plump the lips, while others provide more lift or structure in places like the chin or cheekbones.

At Self Care LA, we use Juvéderm to create subtle, natural-looking improvements—not drastic changes. The goal is to help you look more rested and refreshed while keeping your expression and facial identity intact. Results are visible right away and typically last from 6 months to 2 years, depending on which product is used and where it’s injected.

What Does Juvéderm Address?

Juvéderm is used to smooth, lift, and contour areas of the face that tend to lose volume or develop deeper lines with age. It’s especially helpful if you’re noticing changes that make you look more tired, drawn, or older than you feel.

Common concerns Juvéderm can treat include:

Smile lines (nasolabial folds): These are the creases that run from the sides of your nose to the corners of your mouth.
Marionette lines: Lines that appear around the chin and mouth, sometimes giving the face a downturned look.
Volume loss in cheeks or midface: Juvéderm can help restore youthful fullness in these areas, giving more structure and lift.
Thin or uneven lips: It can softly enhance lip volume and shape without making them look overdone.
Under-eye hollows: Certain formulas can reduce that sunken or shadowed look beneath the eyes.
Weak chin or jawline definition: Used strategically, Juvéderm can help create a more balanced lower face.

Because the Juvéderm collection includes multiple formulations—each with slightly different thickness and texture—we can choose the one that’s best suited for the area you want to enhance. This allows for a more customized and natural-looking outcome.

The Juvéderm Family of Dermal Fillers

The Juvéderm Collection consists of hyaluronic acid-based products designed to address specific zones of the face such as the lips, smile lines, chin, cheeks, under eyes, cheeks, and jawline. Find your perfect match by consulting with our master injectors at Self Care LA today!

Am I a candidate for Juvéderm?

Juvéderm in Santa Monica may be right for you if you have deep facial folds, a weak chin, thin lips, flat cheekbones, hollow tear troughs, or minor textural issues on your cheeks. The skin at the treatment site must be healthy. If you have allergies, a bleeding disorder, or other conditions, our doctor will let you know if it is safe to receive these fillers. Pregnant and nursing women are not ideal candidates for aesthetic injections. These treatments are suitable for those aged 21 and older.

Consultation and Preparation

At Self Care LA, we pride ourselves on helping you navigate a world of options so you can make your aesthetic goals a reality while remaining true to your unique beauty ideals. We provide our clients with in-depth skin assessments and tailored solutions. If this treatment is a good fit, preparing is as simple as avoiding alcohol, medications, and supplements that may increase bruising starting a few days beforehand.

Your Juvéderm Treatment

This is a minimally invasive procedure that takes minutes to perform.

Pre-Injection: We will numb your skin with ice or a topical anesthetic for approximately 30 minutes before injecting.
Injection: Injection: Our provider will carefully inject the product with a needle or a blunt-tip cannula and gently massage it into place.
Duration: The procedure typically lasts less than an hour from start to finish.

How Soon Will I See Dermal Filler Results?

Juvéderm fillers work quickly. You’ll likely notice a difference right after your treatment—lips may look fuller, cheeks more defined, and facial lines softer. However, it usually takes a few days for swelling to subside and for the filler to fully settle into place. That’s when the results look their most natural.

How long your results last depends on the specific Juvéderm product used and the area treated. For most people, lip and fine line results hold for six to twelve months. Deeper lines, like those around the nose and mouth, often stay smoothed out for up to eighteen months. Structural fillers, like those used for the cheeks or chin, can last up to two years. Everyone’s body metabolizes filler a little differently, so timing can vary—but maintenance treatments can help extend your results.

What’s Dermal Filler Recovery Like?

Recovery after Juvéderm is usually simple. Most people return to their normal day right away with little interruption. You might notice mild swelling, tenderness, or slight bruising in the areas treated. These effects are temporary and often resolve in a few days.

For best results, it’s a good idea to avoid strenuous activity, heat, and alcohol for the first day or two. Sleeping with your head slightly elevated and avoiding pressure on the treated areas can also help minimize swelling. Your provider will give you personalized aftercare advice based on where you had injections and your overall health. Most patients find the recovery process surprisingly easy—and worth it once the full results come into focus.

How Much Does Juvéderm Cost?

The price of Juvéderm depends on how much product is used, which formula is chosen, and the areas being treated. Some treatments, like subtle lip enhancement, may only require one syringe. Others—such as full facial balancing or cheek contouring—might take more. In general, most patients can expect to spend between $600 and $1,200 per session.

During your consultation, we’ll go over your goals, map out a personalized treatment plan, and provide transparent pricing before anything begins. There are no surprise fees, and you’ll have the chance to ask questions and explore different options. At Self Care LA, we focus on giving you results that are worth the investment—not just in how you look, but in how you feel when you leave our office.
