The True "Lunchtime Treatment"
Juvéderm is the #1 selling collection of hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers in the United States—and for good reason. Made from a naturally occurring substance already in your skin, Juvéderm instantly smooths wrinkles, restores lost volume, and enhances facial contours with results that look completely natural.
Dr. Kim's gentle injection technique minimizes discomfort, bruising, and the dreaded "lumps" that can occur with improper filler placement. With his artistic eye and 25+ years of experience, he creates subtle enhancements that refresh your appearance without anyone knowing you've had "work done." Most patients return to work immediately—hence the nickname "lunchtime filler."

Dr. Kim's Special Injection Technique
What sets him apart from other injectors
Why Technique Matters
Anyone can inject filler—but not everyone can inject it well. The difference between beautiful, natural results and lumpy, overdone appearance comes down to technique, experience, and artistic vision. Dr. Kim has spent years perfecting his injection approach to minimize discomfort, bruising, and the dreaded "lumps."
Dr. Kim's Gentle, Precise Method
Topical Numbing: Pre-treatment numbing cream for maximum comfort
Blunt Cannula Technique: Uses flexible cannula (vs. sharp needle) to reduce bruising, swelling, and risk of vascular complications
Slow, Controlled Injection: Takes time to inject slowly and evenly—never rushed
Multiple Entry Points: Small amounts from multiple locations vs. large boluses
Layer by Layer: Builds volume gradually in appropriate tissue planes
Massage & Molding: Carefully massages and molds filler for smooth integration
Conservative Approach: Better to under-fill and add more than overfill
Aspiration Before Injection: Checks for blood vessels to avoid intravascular injection
Artistic Eye: Evaluates facial proportions and symmetry, not just filling lines
Post-Treatment Assessment: Evaluates immediately and schedules touch-up if needed
The "No Lumps" Promise
Lumps and bumps are the #1 complaint with dermal fillers—but they're almost always preventable with proper technique. Dr. Kim's slow, layered injection method combined with cannula technique virtually eliminates lumps. On the rare occasion a small irregularity occurs, he can smooth it immediately or dissolve it painlessly with hyaluronidase.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Depends on treatment areas and degree of correction. Most patients need 1-3 syringes per session. Nasolabial folds typically require 1-2 syringes total (0.5-1 per side). Lips need 0.5-1 syringe for subtle enhancement, 1-2 for dramatic. Cheeks often need 2-4 syringes (1-2 per side) for significant lift. Dr. Kim will advise at consultation.
-
Minimal discomfort with Dr. Kim's technique! Topical numbing cream applied pre-treatment, Juvéderm XC contains built-in lidocaine, and Dr. Kim uses cannula technique which is much more comfortable than needle. Most patients describe mild pressure and pinching—not sharp pain. Lips are most sensitive but still very tolerable.
-
Choose an experienced injector like Dr. Kim! Lumps result from improper placement, injecting too quickly, or depositing large boluses. Dr. Kim's slow, layered cannula technique with careful massage virtually eliminates lumps. If small irregularity occurs, can be smoothed immediately or dissolved painlessly with hyaluronidase enzyme.
-
Completely different products for different purposes! Botox relaxes muscles that create dynamic wrinkles (crow's feet, forehead lines, frown lines). Juvéderm fills static wrinkles and restores lost volume. They're complementary—many patients use both. Botox prevents wrinkles from forming, Juvéderm fills wrinkles already present.
-
Some swelling is expected (3-7 days) and normal. Bruising possible but minimized with Dr. Kim's cannula technique. Avoid blood thinners 1 week before treatment. Ice immediately after helps. Lips swell most (expect significant puffiness 2-5 days). Most patients presentable for work immediately with makeup covering any bruises.
-
Yes! Hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvéderm can be dissolved with hyaluronidase enzyme injection if you're unhappy. Takes effect within 24-48 hours. However, with Dr. Kim's conservative approach and artistic eye, dissolution is rarely needed. Most "corrections" are simply adding a bit more filler for symmetry, not removal.
-
Different formulations for different areas! Voluma is thick for cheeks, lasts 2 years. Ultra/Ultra Plus for nasolabial folds and marionette lines, last 12 months. Volbella is soft for lips and fine lines, lasts 12 months. Vollure for moderate/severe wrinkles, lasts 18 months. Dr. Kim often uses multiple products in one session for optimal results.
-
ALWAYS choose a board-certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist with extensive filler experience. Proper injection requires deep understanding of facial anatomy, blood vessel locations, tissue planes, and aesthetic proportions. Dr. Kim personally performs all injections—never delegates to nurses or aestheticians. Your face deserves an expert, not a novice.
