How much does Juvederm cost?

Juvederm is a type of “wrinkle filler” used nowadays by cosmetic surgeons and dermatologists to eliminate fine lines and lessen skin folds. It is a smooth injectable gel that is mainly comprised of hyaluronic acid. It is a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps maintain the volume and elasticity of your skin. Hyaluronic acid, in its gelatinous state, is able to flow compatibly in the skin that creates a smooth and natural look. The treatment gives you a fuller and more youthful appearance for up to 6 months or longer. Since 1996 it has been legally approved by the FDA and is continually gaining popularity today. So you may have wondered how much does Juvaderm cost.

Juvederm is recommended for the following:

·    to correct scars
·    repair hollows under eyes
·    fill in wrinkles between eyebrows
·    reduce the occurrence of creases at corners of mouth (Marionnette lines)
·    fix skin folds that run from the nose to the corners of the mouth
·    for augmentation of aging or thin lips

Juvaderm has been proven to be the only hyaluronic acid that also helps prevent damage of the existing collagen in the skin. It has been proven to be safe when used in various skin types and skin colors. The results can last as long as 3 to 6 months but is highly individualistic as well. If you want to maintain the results, additional injections may be needed from time to time.

There are several factors that can affect how much Juvaderm costs.

·    Physician. Professional fee may vary depending upon the reputation & experience of the doctor, the location and the market trends. It will also depend upon his specialty field.
·    The Procedure. The cost will vary depending upon the procedure that you choose to undergo or the amount of repair & augmentation done. Rising of depressed scars are simple minor procedures which obviously wouldn’t cost as much as a lip augmentation procedure. Costs will definitely vary with the complexity of a certain procedure.
·    Other fees. There could be other surgical or hospital costs like laboratory exams, anesthetic fees, medications and etc.
It is important to note that most health insurances do not cover cosmetic surgeries or complications that it may bring.

Average Cost

The treatment would cost you around $300 to as much as $1200. According to the American Association of Plastic Surgeons, the average cost of Juverderm price per vial would run around $300 to $500. The price is highly individualized depending on the type of Juvederm your dermatologist prescribed (Juvaderm 18, 24 or 30). Based on national averages, the minimum cost of the product would be about $500 and the maximum would be at $650. It is more expensive in high profile cities like New York, Los Angeles and Miami. Expect that you will be prescribed more than one vial, but it will really depend on the amount of work that has to be done and the outcomes that you would want. It would be wise to get an estimate from your doctor beforehand.
