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.

Restylane fillers are a type of dermal filler made from hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid naturally occurs in the body and is good for the skin. When injected correctly, it poses little risk. Patients often seek fillers because as we age, the body begins to produce less collagen and it diminishes at a faster rate. Therefore, areas of the face may begin to hollow, the skin loses elasticity, and, in later stages, you may notice sagging. Thankfully, Restylane fillers can treat the initial signs of aging to help you look younger, long.
Along with filling in hollows and wrinkles, Restylane injections restore your HA levels and help you maintain the appearance of hydrated, healthy, youthful skin across various areas of your face. The Restylane family of dermal fillers were designed with your face goals in mind, giving you natural-looking, lasting results using safe and effective products. The master injectors at Northwest Face & Body provide the best Restylane Bellevue and Kirkland offers.
Northwest Face & Body carries all of the major Restylane fillers. Formerly known as Perlane, Restylane offers the most filler options out of all other hyaluronic acid options. Each filler is individually FDA approved for a specific area or treatment, though most can safely be used off label in typical filler areas. The Restylane fillers that our master injectors offer include:
Restylane fillers have many of the same treatment areas as other hyaluronic acid fillers, such as Juvederm. Most of the treatment areas are on the face. At Northwest Face & Body, we commonly perform Restylane filler injections in the following areas:
The longevity of Restylane fillers largely depends on the specific product and the treatment area. For example, lip filler will not last as long as under eye filler. This simply because the lips move and are used more. However, thicker fillers such as Restylane Defyne, tend to last longer than thinner fillers such as Restylane L. On average, patients can expect Restylane to last anywhere from three to nine months, with six months being about average across all products and areas. With that said, some patients may see results last as long as eighteen months in certain areas and products. Based on your medical history and specific treatment, your master injector can discuss what you can expect during your consultation.
Any medical procedure--whether performed for medical or cosmetic reasons--comes with some risks. It is important for every patient to understand the risks and weight them with the benefits. Your injector will discuss both the benefits and risks with you. Ultimately, if they believe the procedure is too risky for you, they may recommend another course of treatment.
First, let's take a look at the benefits of Restylane fillers:
Risks or complications associated with filler injections are rare. Though, they can happen. Your master injection will discuss them thoroughly with you before your injections. Also, since Restylane fillers are reversible, most complications are easily treated in office and leave no lasting effects when addressed immediately. The risks of Restylane dermal filler injections include:
Many of the above risks are normal within two weeks of your injections, specifically bruising, swelling, and lumps. However, if these do not go away in about two weeks, consult with your injector.
The master injectors at Northwest Face & Body come from a variety of educational backgrounds including physicians, physician's assistants, and registered nurses. Having all trained directly under Dr. Allegra and the manufacturers of cosmetic injectables, our master injectors are some of the best trained and qualified in Washington State. They each have years of experience working with Restylane fillers and can advise on the best one for your goals.
Northwest Face & Body has provided the Eastside with the gold standard of Restylane fillers since they were first approved for use. Before that, the facility served all other surgical and non-surgical cosmetic needs. Always among the first to adopt the newest advancements, Northwest Face & Body was one of the few practices selected to test the newest cosmetic injectable on the market, Qwo. With a high volume of filler patients and some of the most experienced providers, Northwest Face & Body provides the best Restylane Bellevue and Kirkland can provide.
