Juvéderm®
About Semel Vision Care & Aesthetics
Premium Eye Care in El Segundo, Manhattan Beach, & Redondo Beach
If you want to soften wrinkles, restore lost volume, or enhance facial contours without surgery, Juvéderm® offers a versatile, minimally invasive solution. At Semel Vision Care & Aesthetics, we provide customized Juvéderm® treatments in El Segundo designed to deliver smooth, natural-looking results.
What Is Juvéderm®?
Juvéderm® is a collection of FDA-approved injectable dermal fillers made with hyaluronic acid (HA), a substance that attracts and retains moisture. As we age, HA levels decline, leading to volume loss, wrinkles, and less supple skin.
Juvéderm® facial fillers are formulated to replace that lost volume, fill creases and folds, and restore more youthful contours. Results are visible immediately after treatment, with continued improvement as the filler settles into the tissue. Different Juvéderm® formulations are used based on treatment area and aesthetic goals, allowing for highly tailored outcomes.

- Lips (volume, shape, and definition)
- Cheeks and midface volume loss
- Chin and jawline contouring
- Fine lines around the mouth

Why Choose Us for Juvéderm® in El Segundo?
Successful Juvéderm® treatment depends on precise technique and an advanced understanding of facial anatomy. Dr. Jane Semel is a board-certified ophthalmologist with extensive training in facial aesthetics. She takes a conservative approach to injectable treatments, prioritizing safety and results that look refreshed rather than overdone.
What to Expect During Your Treatment
A typical Juvéderm® appointment at our El Segundo office lasts about 15 to 30 minutes. Your treatment will begin with a careful evaluation of your facial structure and a discussion of your goals.
The treatment area will be cleansed, and Dr. Semel will expertly administer the necessary injections for achieving your cosmetic goals. Patients usually describe feeling mild pressure or brief pinching during the injections but do not consider the procedure painful.
What to Expect After Juvéderm® Injections
Juvéderm® requires minimal downtime, allowing patients to return to most normal activities the same day. We recommend avoiding strenuous exercise, alcohol, excessive sun exposure, and makeup for the first 24 hours.
Temporary side effects may include mild swelling, redness, tenderness, or bruising at the injection sites. These effects are common and usually resolve within several days.
You will notice immediate improvements following treatment. Final results will become more refined over the next one to two weeks.
How Much Does Juvéderm® Cost in El Segundo?
The price of your treatment will depend on the type and amount of Juvéderm® used. During your consultation, Dr. Semel will create a personalized treatment plan and review all associated costs with you.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does Juvéderm® last?
Results vary based on the product selected, treatment area, and individual metabolism. Many patients enjoy results lasting 9 to 18 months.
Who is a candidate for Juvéderm®?
Healthy adults seeking non-surgical facial rejuvenation are often good candidates. During your consultation, Dr. Semel will review your medical history and goals to determine if Juvéderm® is appropriate for you.
Can Juvéderm® be used on the lips?
Yes. Juvéderm® is one of the most commonly used fillers for lip enhancement. It can add volume, improve symmetry, and define the lip border while maintaining a soft, natural appearance.
Can I combine Juvéderm® with BOTOX®?
Yes. Combining Juvéderm® and BOTOX® is often an excellent approach to full-face rejuvenation. BOTOX® relaxes muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles, such as frown lines and horizontal forehead creases, while Juvéderm® restores volume and smooths static lines. This combination is often referred to as a “liquid facelift.”
Is Juvéderm® reversible?
Yes. Because Juvéderm® is made with hyaluronic acid, it can be dissolved with an enzyme called hyaluronidase if needed. This adds an extra layer of safety when performed by an experienced injector like Dr. Semel.
