Juvaderm – A New Preparation In The Offing
Heads up! A new preparation of Juvaderm (officially referred to as Juvederm) will soon be made available which is a pre-mixed combination of Juvaderm + local anesthetic. This makes it much easier to utilize the facial filler injection, as there is no time lost in applying local anesthetic creams and waiting for them to work before injection of Juvaderm. Neither is it now necessary to pre-anesthetise the injection area by the use of local nerve blocks before using the facial filler.
The disadvantage of using local nerve blocks was that they tended to distort the local architecture of the site for filler injection due to the volume of the local anesthetic pumped in, making it rather difficult at times to accurately gauge the degree of correction needed. All one has to do now is to inject a bit of this pre-mix directly, wait a few seconds for the anesthetic to work, and carry on from there without having to withdraw your needle.
The advantage of this preparation is that it becomes much easier to do accurate work, and the necessity for subsequent followups to do corrective touch ups is lessened.
The cost of these injections remains roughly the same as the ones without the local anesthetic incorporated, unless the powers that be decide to raise them because of the additional technical difficulty of producing a new preparation. However Juvaderm remains one of the most cost-effective wrinkle fillers.
