Juvederm in Palm Springs & Palm Desert, CA

JUVÉDERM® is a family of hyaluronic acid dermal fillers used to soften facial lines, restore lost volume, and add fullness to areas such as the lips and cheeks. At Lombardo Cosmetic Surgery, JUVÉDERM is one of several non-surgical cosmetic treatments available to people in Palm Springs, Palm Desert, and throughout the Coachella Valley.

The practice in Rancho Mirage, CA, is led by Maria Lombardo, DO, FACOS, a board-certified general surgeon and diplomate of the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery. Her training includes a general surgery residency and a cosmetic surgery fellowship.

How Does JUVÉDERM Work?

JUVÉDERM fillers are injectable gels made with hyaluronic acid, a substance found naturally in the body. Once placed beneath the skin, the gel adds volume in the treatment location. Different formulas have different consistencies and are injected at different depths, allowing Dr. Lombardo to choose a product based on your anatomy and goals.

What Can JUVÉDERM Treat?

The product selected depends on the area being treated. JUVÉDERM can soften moderate to severe facial folds, add lip volume, smooth lines around the mouth, and replace lost fullness in the cheeks. Dr. Lombardo evaluates your facial structure before recommending a formula and injection plan.

Which JUVÉDERM Products Are Available?

Dr. Lombardo uses several JUVÉDERM formulas, each suited to different parts of the face and different types of volume loss. The specific filler she recommends will depend on your facial anatomy, treatment area, and the degree of correction you want. Lombardo Cosmetic Surgery currently offers:

• JUVÉDERM Ultra XC: This hyaluronic acid filler can soften moderate to severe facial wrinkles, including nasolabial folds, the creases that extend from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth. It can also add fullness to the lips and surrounding lip area in adults 21 and older.
• JUVÉDERM Ultra Plus XC: Ultra Plus XC treats moderate to severe facial wrinkles, including nasolabial folds.
• JUVÉDERM Volbella XC: Volbella XC can add subtle lip fullness and soften vertical lines around the mouth.
• JUVÉDERM Voluma XC: Voluma XC adds deeper volume and structural support. Dr. Lombardo uses it in places such as the midface, temples, and cheekbones, where age-related volume loss may change facial contours.

What Can You Expect From Treatment?

JUVÉDERM injections are performed in the office and may take up to 30 minutes. Temporary swelling, bruising, tenderness, firmness, redness, or small lumps can occur afterward. These reactions are usually mild to moderate.
