What is Juvéderm®?

Aging can cause the skin to lose its youthful fullness. Our San Jose Juvéderm®; treatment adds volume and fills lines and wrinkles by using high concentrations of hyaluronic acid, a synthetic form of a natural substance in the body. Hyaluronic acid depletes as we get older. HA and collagen form your skin’s complex connective tissues and make your face look full and youthful. It also maintains the water level in your skin so it appears fresh and supple. Juvéderm® XC Juvéderm® was the first hyaluronic acid filler in a gel formula, which causes less inflammation and results in a smoother and longer-lasting outcome. The hyaluronic acid in Juvéderm® is non-animal sourced, and it does not require an allergy test, so it is safe to use on all skin types.

Where Can Juvederm® Be Used?

Juvederm products can be used all around the face. Each one is specially formulated to provide volumizing, rejuvenating in a specific area of the face, including:

  • Nasolabial folds and lips: Juvederm® Ultra and Ultra Plus
  • Peri-oral lines: Juvederm® Vollure
  • Lip lines and lip augmentation: Juvederm® Volbella
  • Improve cheek volume: Juvederm® Voluma

I had a double eyelid revision on one eye with Dr. Elbert Cheng to correct asymmetry from previous surgeries performed by other surgeons. The consultation with Dr. Cheng felt thorough and reassuring, and I appreciated that the entire process from pre-op to post-op was clearly explained, accompanied by scheduled appointments. I also received post-op care instructions, which I believe helped speed up the recovery process. What truly amazed me was that I experienced no bruising at all, which is something I’ve never had with any of my previous surgeries. In the past, I always bruised, so I was impressed by Dr. Cheng’s skill. It’s been 6 months since the surgery and the fold height is now much closer to my other eye. The result looks very natural. Highly recommend Dr. Cheng to anyone considering eyelid surgery!

Great experience with staff and procedure. I got upper blepharoplasty done in Sept with Dr. Elbert Cheng. From day one the staff was kind and very helpful. During my consultation with Dr. Cheng he was so informative and kind, great bed side manner. He was honest when I asked about other surgeries stating that I didn’t need them at this time, and gave great feedback as to why I didn’t need it and why I should wait. I love my results and healed very quickly. All in all a great doctor who is experienced and very knowledgeable in his field.

Long overdue review. Back in November 2023 I got chin lipo from Elbert Cheng - one of the best decisions in my life.

I was 34 at the time. I had the most stubborn double chin that would not go away. I had lost about 20 pounds through diet and exercise yet it was still there (I’m about 160 lbs, avid weightlifter). I blame genetics. I would see the double chin in photos and on screen while I was in my Zoom meetings - it became such a sore sight for me. I finally bit the bullet to get it removed with lipo.

The staff at Cheng Plastic Surgery were all absolutely amazing. The staff and Dr. Cheng gave me all the information about the procedure and answered all my questions. They were not pushy at all and let me take the time to decide if this was something I wanted to pursue. The day of the procedure, Dr. Cheng and staff were great and made sure I was comfortable and not nervous. The procedure itself was rather quick (less than an hour) and painless. Recovery was surprisingly not bad. There were quick check-in visits post-surgery for Dr. Cheng to monitor healing. I followed all of the post-procedure instructions and healed with no complications and I’m pleased to say the double chin is gone. It’s such a relief to not see it show up in photos anymore. I’m so thankful to Dr. Cheng and his staff - highly recommend.

Huge Shout out to Teresa for The super marvelous job she did on my lips. Honestly I was really nervous about doing lip filler and making sure that they came out looking plump and full but natural. That's exactly the result I got. Teresa knew exactly how to give me a nice border around my lips and gave me the prettiest cupids bow and pout. looks really pretty with lip liner and gloss now. I actually was so excited when I saw the finishing product I started to cry. I 100% recommend Dr. Cheng & his team for all your aesthetic needs ❤️

I saw Dr. Jacqueline Cheng for microblading removal using Pico laser. The entire experience from start to finish, was professional, comfortable, and efficient. I had microblading done 5-6 years ago that never faded, and the lines had blurred. I have been to this practice 3 times; the first for a free consultation, again for a spot test, and the third for the actual laser treatment.

For the day of the actual treatment, I was in and out in under 30 minutes. They numbed my eyebrow with an ice cube to make sure that I was comfortable during the treatment, and talked me through what they were doing during the entire process. The results after one session were already very good and apparent, with the tattoo fading a lot (picture attached). I made a follow-up appointment for 3 months out, but the doctor mentioned that it should fade even more before then as my skin will naturally fade the ink. I would thoroughly recommend this practice for your tattoo/microblading removal.

I’ve gone to Cheng’s to see Alex for Botox and/or Dysport now a few times and it is always a pleasure. I’ve honestly tried other places and they just do not compare. 10/10 I will always come back & recommend Botox/Dysport here at Cheng’s. Technique and knowledge goes a long way with these type of things, and cheaper doesn’t always mean better yall! Trust me I’ve learned along the way! Not to mention the office is always so clean and the staff is very welcoming.

Great experience here!!! The lovely person who attended me at Cheng Plastic Surgery was Teresa. She is so amazing and I left so happy. The service I came in for was lip filler, I wanted plumper lips that would look natural and she did just that! It was my first time so I can't lie and say I didn't feel nervous at first. But after the consultation and her talking me through it, it was easy to give her my full trust. She made me feel so at ease and explained everything so well. She is very experienced/professional and well informed, told her my goals and she worked her magic. Don't regret it one bit. And Teresa's energy is beautiful, feels genuine and warm-- I feel that is important in these types of services!

Location is great. Aesthetics are on point. Super clean. Everyone who I interacted in the office with was very kind, so many smiles. As soon as you enter you feel welcomed and inside rooms I always felt well attended.

The Juvéderm® Collection

Juvéderm® Vollure

Juvéderm® Vollure offers distinct advantages only available in this next generation of Juvéderm® formulations. Vollure provides subtle improvement to deep creases like nasolabial folds and marionette lines with results that extend up to 18 months. This is the most prolonged duration of effects for these particular aging symptoms, offering patients a convenient treatment that produces natural, beautiful results.

Juvéderm® Voluma XC

Juvéderm® Voluma XC is an injectable gel containing hyaluronic acid and is the first and only filler that is FDA-approved to add volume to the cheek area instantly. It gives you a subtle lift, recontouring the cheeks for a more youthful-looking profile. One of the advantages of Voluma is that it can last up to two years – longer than most dermal fillers – and you can see results immediately after your injections.

Juvéderm® Volbella

Juvéderm® Volbella is a relatively recent addition to the Juvéderm® line, with the ability to reverse signs of aging in some of the most sensitive, delicate areas of the face to date. This formulation is designed to soften perioral lines, those fine vertical lines that appear above the upper lip. Volbella can also add subtle volume to the lips, refreshing your mouth for up to 12 months with natural-looking results.

Juvéderm® Volux XC

The signs of age appear on the face in various ways and can be particularly severe in the jawline area. The skin of the jaw begins to sag as we get older, resulting in jowls, jawline irregularity, and a lack of definition. A versatile, non-surgical treatment, Juvéderm® Volux XC is a unique filler specifically designed to refine and sculpt the jawline, defining and strengthening the jaw contour.

What are the Benefits of Juvéderm®?

Juvéderm® treatments have many benefits, including:

  • Smooth and natural results: When performed by a skilled, board-certified plastic surgeon, the results of Juvéderm® appear soft and natural, washing away years from your face.
  • Long-lasting results: Juvéderm® is known to last for an average of 12 months, with some formulas lasting even longer.
  • Non-allergenic: Juvéderm® is safe for all skin types and doesn’t require an allergy test because it is not derived from animal sources. The scientific advances of Juvéderm® have made it safe for virtually anyone.
  • Helps your skin: The active ingredient in Juvéderm®, hyaluronic acid, is a substance that naturally occurs in your skin that helps provide structure and keep your skin moisturized. Injections of Juvéderm® can not only add volume to your skin and smooth wrinkles, but it can also moisturize your skin.

Who is a Candidate for Juvederm®?

Anyone who wants to revitalize facial skin quality and have more youthful, full, healthy skin is a likely candidate for Juvéderm® injections. Juvéderm® is safe for all skin types and is not known to produce allergic reactions. As long as you are in good general health, Juvéderm® is likely the right injectable for you.

Why Choose Dr. Cheng For Juvederm® in San Jose?

At Cheng Plastic Surgery, Juvéderm® XC injections are personally administered by our facial plastic surgeons who are double board-certified by the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and the American Board of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery.

Our brother and sister doctor team has 15 years of experience as National Allergan Trainers. With their training and knowledge of facial anatomy, they can evaluate your face to determine the best positioning for your injections allowing for more natural results.

We focus on ensuring our patients are 100 percent happy with the results of their procedure and will provide you with personalized and attentive care.

Doctor media

Your Juvéderm® Treatment

We will ask you to avoid aspirin and blood thinners for about a week prior to your injections. We administer Juvéderm® XC in San Jose using a very thin needle, and although it is not a painful treatment, a topical anesthetic can be applied to numb the site of your injections. In addition, the formula itself includes Lidocaine to numb the skin further and make the treatment more comfortable for you.

The injections themselves usually take no more than 30 to 45 minutes, as Juvéderm® XC’s gel formula glides easily into the skin. An ice pack may be applied to the area to reduce any minor swelling, and you will be allowed to go home immediately.

What is the Recovery Time After Juvéderm® Injections?

Juvéderm® XC injections require no downtime but avoiding exercise several days after the procedure is advised. You might have minor bruising, swelling, tenderness, and itching where the needle was inserted. These symptoms usually only last a few days to a week and will resolve on their own. You can use makeup to cover any minor bruising, and you are advised to use sunblock any time you are outdoors.

FAQ Juvederm®

Where is Juvéderm® most frequently used?

Our Palo Alto Juvéderm® XC injectables work on lines, wrinkles, and folds that are a result of lost volume in the face and neck. Juvéderm® is most effective on moderate to severe wrinkles such as:

  • Nasolabial folds that run from the nose to the corners of the mouth
  • Marionette lines that run from the corners of the mouth to the chin
  • Fine lines above the upper lip and at the corners of the mouth
  • Juvéderm^(®) XC can also be used for lip augmentation. For lusher, plumper lips, this product creates a very soft, attractive enhancement.

Can Juvéderm® be used on frown lines?

For wrinkles caused by muscle activity, such as frown lines and crow’s feet, BOTOX® injections work best. Juvéderm® is generally used on areas such as the cheeks, lips and mouth to restore facial contours. After we examine you, we will be able to advise you which injectable product will provide you with the look you want. Sometimes, a combination of dermal fillers and BOTOX® is recommended.

How long will my Juvéderm® results last?

You will see immediate results following your treatment. Typically, your Juvéderm® XC results will become fully visible 2-3 weeks after your treatment. During this amount of time any swelling will have decreased, and you may opt for further injections of Juvéderm® XC. In a clinical study, patients reported looking 5 years younger up to six months after their treatment. For most people, Juvéderm® XC lasts about six to nine months, however, some patients have had it last as long as 18 months. Results have been shown to last up to two years for those that received injections in the cheek area.
