Dermal filler injections are among the most popular cosmetic procedures in the United States with over a million injections performed every year. Within the dermal filler category, hyaluronic acid fillers are by far the most popular due to their good safety profile and versatility. Two filler manufacturers offer hyaluronic acid fillers–Restylane and Juvederm. Both are about equal in usage and most providers offer both. Northwest Face & Body offers the best Juvederm Bellevue and Kirkland provides.
Juvederm is a type of cosmetic injectable known as a dermal filler. It is injected for two main purposes: to fill hollows and wrinkles or to augment areas of the face. Primarily used on the face, dermal fillers like Juvederm are among the top non-surgical procedures for anti-aging. With millions of filler injections performed every year, it is an extremely popular and versatile tool for looking younger and achieving your ideal facial aesthetic.
Within facial fillers, some subcategories refer to what the filler is made out of. Juvederm belongs to the largest and most used classification: hyaluronic acid fillers. This means that Juvederm is lower risk than semi-permanent fillers and can treat more places such as the lips.
The master injectors at Northwest Face & Body are masters at using Juvederm to artfully augment and fill in facial features. Northwest Face & Body provides the best Juvederm Bellevue and Kirkland offers.
Juvederm has many applications across the face. Some of the areas Juvederm can treat include:
Patients can usually treat multiple areas at once. Juvederm also pairs well with neurotoxin treatment such as BOTOX or Dysport. Your master injector will discuss which areas you are a candidate for treatment and the best Juvederm filler for each area.
Hyaluronic acid is found naturally in the body, the largest concentrations of which are in the eyes and joints. Therefore, while rejection or allergy to the filler is possible, it is highly unlikely. Another major benefit of hyaluronic acid filler is that they have a natural reversal agent, hyaluronidase.
When injected, it breaks up the filler. If you experience major side effects or complications or end up unhappy with your new look, there is an easy antidote. This also increases the safety of hyaluronic acid fillers when compared with other types of fillers. If occlusion (the injection of filler into a blood vessel) or an adverse event occurs, it can be immediately addressed in the office.
While it may not seem like an advantage at first, the temporary nature of hyaluronic acid fillers allows patients to stop treatments whenever they want, try out various filler options, and try out different looks each time. This experimentation allows patients to find the exactly right filler option and technique for them.
Juvederm makes a few different fillers that each have a slightly varied consistency and tend to be used in different areas. The main Juvederm offerings are Juvederm Ultra, Juvederm Ultra Plus, and Juvederm Voluma. Your master injector can discuss each option with you in detail and help determine which is best for the area you are treating and your goals.
The first step for undergoing Juvederm filler injections in Bellevue is to attend a consultation with a master injector. At this appointment, your master injector will ask you about your goals, medical history, history with fillers, and lifestyle. They may also briefly examine the area to evaluate the skin quality, thickness, and other factors that influence the filler choice and process.
If they believe you are a good candidate for your chosen procedure, they will discuss the many fillers you have to choose from. In some cases, you may undergo filler injections the same day. Otherwise, you can schedule your appointment at your convenience or before leaving the office.
First, your master injector will prep the injection sites. This involves disinfecting the areas with alcohol and cleansing them of any makeup or environmental debris. After this, they will likely apply topical numbing cream. This will sit for around ten to twenty minutes. During this time, your injector will prepare the Juvederm.
Your master injector will then begin the filler injections. Depending on the treatment, they may use a needle or cannula. If using a needle, they will start injections immediately. With a cannula, they will make a small entry point for the cannula using a small needle. After inserting the needle or cannula they will slowly inject the filler. They may move the needle within the injection point or inject at multiple sites to add volume evenly for the ideal results.
For most areas, the injections themselves do not take longer than about ten to fifteen minutes. You can have multiple areas treated at the same time. Along with the topical numbing cream, the Juvederm contains a small amount of lidocaine to help ease the filler as it is injected.
In the days following the injections, you may notice some common side effects such as:
For the most part, these side effects should clear up in a week or two. For a day or two following Juvederm injections, your master injector may recommend avoiding strenuous exercise, alcohol, and certain blood-thinning medications and supplements.
Your filler will continue to settle for about two weeks. If you still notice lumps, unevenness, or the result does not fit your goals after two weeks, our master injectors can perform a quick touch up.

Microblading started as the best (and only) semi-permanent eyebrow enhancement treatment available. However, in the last decade, new microblading techniques have emerged to offer variety and make the procedure work for nearly everyone. The original microblading technique is not viable for everyone or does not fit certain people’s goals. Therefore, new methods were created. One of these options is known as powder brows. The microblading artists at Northwest Face & Body offer the best powder brows Bellevue and Kirkland provide.
Powder brows, often called ombré brows, are a form of cosmetic eyebrow tattoo and microblading. Instead of creating hair-like strokes, the powder brows technique utilizes smaller dots and shading. Similar to the artistic technique of pointillism, it results in a brow that takes on an ombré effect with lighter pigments towards the inner brow and darker pigments towards the tail. To many, this resembles the look of brow powder hence the name “powder brows”.
The powder effect is subtle but does tend to look slightly less natural than traditional microblading or combo brows. However, it often just takes on the appearance of brow makeup. This technique is often recommended for patients who draw on their eyebrows every morning, or those who have particularly sparse brows. Our microblading providers combine a high level of brow artistry and scientific symmetry to create that perfect brow of your dreams.
Sparse eyebrows can happen for many reasons. Regardless, the most recent decade values thick, natural looking brows. Therefore, many with thin or patchy eyebrows feel like they cannot live up to these standards without caking on a large amount of makeup that takes a long time to apply.
Among the most common causes of sparse eyebrows include:
Treatments for sparse eyebrows largely depend on the cause. If treatable, your eyebrows will likely grow back over time. With that said, powder brows and other forms of microblading can help create a natural brow appearance and help promote growth in the area. Since the blades penetrate just enough layers of skin, this can cause the manual repair of hair follicles.
Powder brows come with many benefits, especially to those used to using a large amount of makeup every morning. While powder brows are not for everyone, they are extremely advantageous for those who are interested in a semi-permanent brow enhancement and are good candidates. Some of the benefits include:
Traditional microblading and powder brows use similar techniques and have the same philosophy behind them. They are both semi-permanent tattoos to enhance the brows. However, the two do have some notable differences that can help clients determine the right microblading technique for them. The most basic differences are in the actual artistic form each technique utilizes to create beautiful, denser eyebrows. The table below details some of these differences.
Powder Brows
Traditional Microblading
Traditional microblading and ombré brows can be combined in a microblading technique known as combination brows. Usually, this involves using hair-like strokes on the inner and widest part of the brow and slowly fading to a more ombré shading effect towards the tail. Many clients are beginning to prefer this method.
Before performing powder brows, your microblading artist will want to meet with you for an initial consultation. At this appointment, they will ask about your goals for the procedure, medical history, lifestyle, and other factors. They may also examine the brows and surrounding skin to determine your skin type and what is necessary to achieve your goal look.
If they believe you are a good candidate for powder brows, your microblading artist will discuss the treatment with you. They may also provide information on the other microblading techniques and if you may benefit from those as well. If you and your artist decide to move forward with powder brows, you will receive a customized price quote and preparation instructions.
When you come in for your powder brows application appointment, it is recommended that you are bare-faced and have nothing on your brows. Once you are taken back to one of our treatment rooms, your microblading artist will start by cleaning and disinfecting the brows and nearby skin.
Following this, they will then apply numbing cream and allow it to sit for ten to twenty minutes. During this time, they may make their markings to identify your golden ratio and perfect brows. They can also customize the exact shape based on your preferences. By the time they finish this and prepare the equipment, you should be adequately numb.
Your microblading artist will then begin the treatment. While you should not feel any immense pain, you may still feel some mild discomfort and pressure. Most patients remain perfectly comfortable during the creation of their ombré brows. The entire procedure takes around two to three hours depending on the size and existing condition of your eyebrows.
Properly caring for your powder brows is vital for maintaining your results and ideal healing. You will receive aftercare instructions at the end of your appointment and your artist is happy to answer any questions after you leave the office. Some of the frequently given instructions include:
Once your brows have fully healed and any initial touch-ups are completed and healed, you can return to your entire routine including working out and swimming. However, excessive sun exposure or water submersion may cause your brows to not last as long, or to need more frequent touch-ups.
Unlike traditional microblading, powder brows are ideal for all skin types, tones, and ages. Therefore, adult patients who are not candidates for traditional microblading for one of the above reasons may benefit from powder brows instead. Additionally, some may want a more dramatic, makeup look. For these clients, ombré brows are also often recommended.
Yes, it just looks like you are wearing makeup. If you do not typically wear fairly heavy brow makeup, it may create a more dramatic contrast. If you value the most natural result possible and do not want your microblading to be noticeable, traditional microblading or combo brows may be a better fit for you. Ultimately, during a consultation, your artist will use the scientific and artistic concept of the golden ratio to complement your facial symmetry and features. Therefore, if you are looking for the most natural result possible, they can calculate the ideal positioning and shape of your brows using a combination of art and science.
Immediately after your microblading session finishes, you may experience some side effects during the healing process. Most are mild and resolve within one to two weeks. Among the side effects, some clients experience may include:
Yes, though it depends on the cause. If eyebrow alopecia is caused by a medication or medical condition until that medication is discontinued, or the condition adequately treated, microblading will likely not have a major effect on hair growth in the area. However, if the alopecia is genetic or not caused by an underlying condition, powder brows can help promote a collagen response in the small hair follicles and this can repair them and promote new hair growth.
On a more basic level, microblading and powder brows can help cover hair loss. Whether it be a scar running through the eyebrow, gaps due to aging, or larger loss due to alopecia, microblading is a great option for people wanting to address these concerns. Like an artist will change their brushstrokes depending on the canvas, your brow artist will change their technique or approach given the texture and anatomy of your brows and surrounding skin.
The cost of powder brows starts at $450. This accounts for your initial session and follow-up. Subsequent touch-ups will be an additional charge. Northwest Face & Body does work with outside financing companies including Care Credit to help make your ombré brows fit your budget. You can also find more information about pricing on our price list.
