Genetics, the natural aging process, and exposure to the sun and other environmental factors can create unwelcome lines and wrinkles, and cause the skin to lose volume and start to sag. Fairfield County plastic surgeon Dr. David Passaretti can reverse common signs of aging by treating deep simile lines, forehead wrinkles, and crow’s feet with Juvederm injections at our Darien office. To learn more about whether Juvederm is right for you, schedule a consultation with us today.
JUVÉDERM® is a smooth, transparent gel filler that is injected into the face to add volume and elasticity to your skin while smoothing away wrinkles. With just one treatment, JUVÉDERM® can dramatically improve your appearance. The results are so natural-looking, everyone will notice but no one will know.
In Fairfield County JUVEDERM is one of the most popular, non-surgical, anti-aging treatments available to correct wrinkles and folds on the face. It is the only FDA-approved filler that, with proper maintenance, can offer results lasting up to one year. Juvederm is unique to all other hyaluronic acid-based products because the gel is smooth rather than granular, which allows it to flow easily into the skin.
Hyaluronic acid naturally exists within the layers of your skin so common side effects are mild. Juvederm does not require any testing prior to administration and is appropriate for most areas of the face, including the lines around your mouth, your nose, and your forehead. It can also be used to enhance the appearance of your lips and improve the appearance of scars, such as acne scars. Juvederm is effective in treating many different skin types. It is also the first and only dermal filler that has been proven safe, with no increased risk of hyperpigmentation or scarring, for men and women of color.
Key benefits of Juvederm include:
If you are concerned with lines and wrinkles, or have lost volume in your face, you might be an excellent candidate for JUVEDERM. The injections can be used to fill in sunken areas around the eyes or cheekbones, to augment thin or aging lips, or treat acne or surgical scars. Since it is not animal-based, allergies are rare, so JUVÉDERM® can often be a better choice for people who have tried other procedures but were not pleased with the results. However, women who are pregnant or nursing are typically not good candidates for dermal filler procedures. During your personalized consultation for Juvederm Fairfield County plastic surgeon Dr. Passaretti can review medical history and cosmetic goals, as well as answer any questions you may have regarding treatment.
If you have deep lines between your eyebrows, Juvederm can be administered at the same time as Botox Cosmetic, since the medications are placed in different areas. Juvederm is injected beneath the lines and Botox is injected into the muscle on either side of the lines. Not only is it safe to have these procedures performed at the same time, but the cosmetic outcome is often complimented by combining the two.
Sculptra® is a collagen stimulator that is injected deeper than Juvederm, restoring volume in the entire face and in targeted areas like the temples, cheeks, nasal folds, and jowls. Juvederm and Sculptra® injections can be performed very close together. Sculptra® injections are given in a series of two to four sessions six weeks apart and it takes over four to six months to see the results, which are beautifully natural, gradual, and subtle. The effects last more than two years, which means you will appear younger as each day goes by. So, while you are waiting for the effects of Sculptra® to stimulate your collagen growth, Juvederm can provide you with more immediate results.
A Juvederm treatment at The Aesthetic Center is a comfortable and efficient experience designed to fit your busy schedule. After your personalized consultation, the injection sites are carefully marked and cleansed. Most Juvederm products contain lidocaine, a gentle anesthetic, to ensure maximum comfort during the injections. If needed, a topical numbing agent can also be applied.
Dr. Passaretti uses his highly precise technique to strategically inject the smooth gel, restoring volume and smoothing lines. The procedure is remarkably quick, often taking only 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the number of areas being treated, allowing you to quickly move forward with your day.
One of the greatest advantages of Juvederm is the minimal interruption to your life. The recovery process is straightforward, allowing most patients to resume their social and professional activities immediately. We advise patients to treat the area gently for the first 24 to 48 hours. Mild side effects like slight redness, tenderness, or swelling are normal and typically subside quickly.
To optimize your beautiful Juvederm results, Dr. Passaretti's team recommends avoiding strenuous exercise, excessive heat (like saunas), and alcohol for one to two days, as these can temporarily increase swelling. You should also avoid touching or massaging the treated area unless specifically instructed.
The beauty of Juvederm is that you will notice an immediate enhancement as volume is restored and lines are smoothed. While the results are visible right away, the final, subtle outcome will refine over the next one to two weeks. This is the time needed for any minor swelling to fully diminish and for the hyaluronic acid gel to completely integrate with your natural facial tissues. Depending on the product chosen for your specific needs, the revitalizing effects of Juvederm can last anywhere from six months up to two years, offering a long-lasting, natural-looking enhancement.
The investment in your Juvederm treatment is entirely personalized, reflecting Dr. Passaretti’s commitment to a truly customized aesthetic outcome. Because we never employ a one-size-fits-all approach, the cost can vary based on several factors, including:
Your Juvederm cost will be discussed in detail during your consultation and is an investment that covers the cost of the premium Juvederm product and the unmatched expertise of Dr. Passaretti's skilled team.

Yes, you can speak and smile normally immediately. However, for the first 24-48 hours, try to minimize excessive pressure or movement, such as drinking through a straw, to allow the filler to settle perfectly.
As a hyaluronic acid filler, Juvederm can be safely and immediately dissolved using an enzyme called hyaluronidase. This gives you peace of mind, although most patients are thrilled with Dr. Passaretti’s precision.
To minimize bruising, we advise avoiding blood-thinning supplements and medications for one week prior to your treatment. These include Vitamin E, fish oil, ibuprofen, and aspirin. Always consult your physician before stopping prescription medication.
Yes, for a few days before and after your procedure, stop using active ingredients like Retinoids, AHAs, and BHAs. These can irritate the skin post-injection, so switch to a gentle, non-irritating cleanser and moisturizer.
Juvederm features a unique, smooth gel consistency rather than a granular texture. This formulation ensures it flows easily beneath the skin, resulting in an exceptionally soft and natural-looking enhancement that integrates seamlessly.
