What the procedure involves
Treatment starts with a focused consultation to map the nasolabial folds and set realistic goals. The service includes two Juvederm syringes (2cc total). Appointments take 60 minutes and are performed at our Pasadena location; we use careful placement to restore volume where the fold meets the cheek and mouth corner.
Most clients experience only brief discomfort during injections; many patients report minimal pain and quick visits. Some swelling or bruising can occur afterward, and results from the product are commonly expected to last about 12 months per product information and clinical experience.
Choosing the right amount
Two syringes are included with this service, which is often chosen for moderate to deeper nasolabial lines. Deciding whether two syringes is enough depends on facial anatomy, desired change, and symmetry. During consultation we balance conservative filler placement against the option to treat additional areas later if needed.
Clients often prefer a staged approach: treat nasolabial folds first, then reassess for any complementary volume elsewhere. Our team explains trade-offs so you can choose natural-looking correction versus more dramatic volume; financing options are available to help with treatment planning.
Aftercare and short recovery
Expect mild swelling and possible bruising for a few days; some clients report light bruising that resolves in about a week. We provide aftercare guidance and recommend planning around busy social events — our busiest months are November, December, and May when many prefer treatments before gatherings and photos.
Scheduling is made to fit local commuters and families: evening and weekend appointments are available to accommodate shift-work and household schedules. Our Pasadena clinic is easy to reach from I-45 or Spencer Highway, making quick 60-minute visits convenient on the commute.
