Juvederm is a type of cosmetic filler which can serve a variety of functions, all aimed at helping you look and feel your best. Juvederm is known for being a soft and natural-looking filler option, which can do everything from plumping your lips to smoothing out lines in your face, neck, or even your hands. Juvederm is made from hyaluronic acid, a well-known moisturizing ingredient. Here are three tips for getting the most out of your first appointment.

Go to a Consultation First and Make a Plan

You are likely excited to finally try Juvederm treatment after thinking about it for a long time. Instead of rushing straight into treatment, however, it's wise to start with a consultation. At your consultation, your doctor will ask you questions about your anti-aging and beauty goals, and will then suggest a plan based on your unique needs as well as your budget.

This may involve a combination of treatments or just Juvederm. For example, if you are hoping to just get fuller lips and smooth out a few lines around your mouth, Juvederm is likely all you need. But if you'd also like to prevent crow's feet wrinkles around your eyes and get rid of acne scars, you may need Juvederm for your lips, plus Botox around your eyes, plus chemical peels to smooth out the texture of your skin.

Take a Conservative Approach

To avoid the obvious, over-filled look, it's ideal to take a conservative approach. Start with a more subtle amount of Juvederm filler, and then add more later if the results are less dramatic than you were hoping for. For example, if you already have relatively full lips, it's better to start out with less Juvederm and work your way up. You can always have more added later.

Research Med Spas Thoroughly

To ensure you get the results you're hoping for, be sure to do your research. Read reviews online from current clients, check out the before and after photos on your med spa's social media or website, and ask a lot of questions at your consultation. Getting Juvederm filler is a big decision and you want to make sure you are in experienced and trustworthy hands.

If you follow these tips and go to an experienced doctor, your first Juvederm experience will likely be a very pleasant one. Soon you will look and feel younger and more confident.
