What is JUVÉDERM?

Restore Youthful Volume and Soften Wrinkles

JUVÉDERM is a collection of injectable fillers made from hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance that helps the skin retain moisture and volume. During treatment, Dr. Leader carefully injects the filler beneath the skin using a fine needle or cannula to restore volume, soften lines, and enhance facial contours. Different formulations are designed for specific areas, such as the cheeks, lips, jawline, or smile lines. The results appear immediately after treatment and typically last several months to over a year, depending on the product used and the treatment area.

Dr. Leader’s Approach

Beverly Hills Mastery. Midwestern Care.

Dr. Leader approaches facial rejuvenation with the mindset that subtlety matters. When you come in for treatment, she takes time to understand what you see in the mirror and what you hope to restore, not change. Her goal is never to make you look different, but to help you look refreshed and naturally confident. With dermal fillers, that often means restoring gentle volume and balance so your features remain unmistakably yours.

Dr. Leader’s technique reflects her fellowship training in Beverly Hills under renowned facial plastic surgeons Dr. Paul Nassif and Dr. Babak Azizzadeh, combined with compassionate, patient-first care rooted in her Midwestern upbringing. Every treatment is precise, measured, and restrained, guided by a deep understanding of facial anatomy and an artistic eye shaped by years of drawing and sculpture. The result is refinement that feels effortless and authentic.

JUVÉDERM FAQs

How Long Do Results Last?

Your body will slowly break down some of the filler. This rate varies in each patient and by treatment location. Patients will continue to lose natural volume as they age as well, so each patient is guided individually on when to consider possible additional treatments in order to avoid an unnatural or overfilled look

Does JUVÉDERM Look Natural?

When placed thoughtfully, JUVÉDERM can look beautifully natural. Dr. Leader’s philosophy is to enhance rather than exaggerate. Her goal is for friends or colleagues to simply notice that you look well-rested or refreshed, not that you had something “done.”

Is There Any Downtime After Treatment?

Downtime is minimal. Many patients return to work or normal activities the same day. Mild swelling, tenderness, or occasional bruising can occur but usually resolves within a few days.

Can JUVÉDERM Be Reversed if Needed?

Yes. Because JUVÉDERM is made from hyaluronic acid, it can be dissolved with an enzyme called hyaluronidase if adjustments are ever needed. This adds an extra layer of reassurance for patients trying dermal fillers for the first time.
