Add Volume to Reduce Creases and Restore Youthful Contours in Western Chicago and Naperville
Patients seeking a treatment to reduce wrinkles and hollows on the face tend to find results they are quite happy with in Juvederm®. Naperville’s Dr. John Bull, serving Western Chicago and beyond, offers the complete line of injectable Juvederm® fillers, each one designed to address specific effects of age-related volume loss, from creases around the mouth to flattened “apples” of the cheeks to lips that have thinned over time. Administering Juvederm® involves special training, experience, and skill. The nonsurgical treatment is safe, well-studied, and FDA approved for a range of uses, but choosing a qualified injector is still a crucial part of the process. Dr. John Bull and the injectors on his team at the center work with precision to smooth skin and create contours that have a natural quality, as opposed to a “done” or overfilled look that draws unwanted attention.
What Does Juvederm® Treat?
Although each member of the Juvederm® family has a different focus, they all work to address cosmetic changes that develop as faces lose valuable elements over time: collagen, hyaluronic acid, healthy fat, and even bone density. Juvederm® fillers are made of hyaluronic acid, which is a natural molecule found all throughout the human body. Known as HA, this molecule plays many roles, from cushioning to lubricating. Its ability to bind to water allows it to keep the skin hydrated, smooth, full, and pliable. As HA levels drop in the skin, along with reductions in structure-providing collagen, the surface can develop creases and lines. This volume loss also leads to thinning lips and mid-face deflation, with hollows forming and tissue sagging so that jowls droop on a once-defined jawline. Adding an HA-based gel back into key areas of the face can reverse these changes. The restored volume from the Juvederm® filler itself, as well as the water molecules it attracts, pushes the loose skin outward to create a smoother surface, fuller pout, rounder contours, and more obvious structural support.

What Are the Various Juvederm® Options Available?
The John Bull Center offers five types of fillers in the Juvederm® line: Ultra XC, Ultra Plus XC, Voluma™ XC, Vollure™ XC, and Volbella™ XC. The “XC” indicates that the injectable contains a small amount of a local anesthetic known as lidocaine, in addition to the hyaluronic acid-based gel, in order to make the injection process more comfortable.
The Juvederm® fillers are all made with VYCROSS™ technology, which combines low- and high-molecular weight hyaluronic acid to create robust chains of molecules. That means the John Bull Center injectors can use less of the product while still achieving beautiful results. Because less product is used, patients experience less downtime, swelling, and discomfort than is normally associated with similar injectable treatments. This also makes the results of a Juvederm® session look and feel significantly more natural.
If you have deep laugh lines, want fuller lips, and have a noticeable loss of facial volume, Juvederm® XC is ideal for restoring volume and smoothing away moderate to severe facial wrinkles, including smile lines (parenthesis) and nasolabial folds. This FDA-approved treatment can also be used to diminish other deep facial lines and to enhance lip volume.
In addition to the visible lines and wrinkles that develop around the eyes, nose, and mouth, the reduction in collagen and elastin in the skin can also result in volume loss in the cheeks. Juvederm® Voluma treatments can restore the apples of your cheeks without surgery or downtime. In addition to cheek enhancement, Juvederm Voluma® is also now FDA-approved for chin augmentation to create a more distinct profile or smooth out dimpling.
Juvéderm Vollure™ reduces static wrinkles, such as nasolabial folds that form from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth. Historically, these lines have been among the most difficult to treat, since they deepen over time. Vollure’s specific ability to attract and increase moisture plumps and smooths this area, yielding beautiful, long-lasting improvement.
Many people are dissatisfied with the shape and volume of their lips or are preoccupied with small wrinkles near their mouths. Juvederm® Volbella™ is an ideal injectable for boosting lip volume, smoothing vertical creases and marionette lines, and improving overall facial symmetry.

What Is a Juvederm® Treatment Session Like in Naperville?
Juvederm® facial rejuvenation treatments at the John Bull Center are incredibly comfortable sessions. Your injector will begin with a comprehensive consultation in order to develop a customized treatment plan to best address your aesthetic desires.
When it comes to the Juvederm® injections themselves, many patients find that they are virtually painless. For those who want to ensure their comfort, we may apply an additional local anesthetic to further minimize sensation at the injection site. We also offer the NUEVIBE™ device, designed to vibrate against the skin and make injection sessions a “near painless” experience. NUEVIBE™ works by distracting your brain so that it pays attention to the vibrating sensation instead of the feel of the needle. The treatment session will take only minutes, with the exact length determined by how many areas are being injected.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Juvederm® in Western Chicago?
Juvederm® is an ideal treatment option for any patient who wants to restore youthful facial contours and reduce visible signs of aging. Candidates for the injectable should be in good health, free from active skin infections in the treatment area, and understanding of what a nonsurgical treatment like Juvederm® can and can’t do.
You will be able to see the volume added during a Juvederm® treatment session as soon as you look into a mirror, though, as with all injectable treatments, it can result in slight bruising, swelling, and redness at the treatment site. These effects typically subside within a day or so. Following an injection session, patients should avoid excessive exposure to the sun—as well as time in saunas or steam rooms—for a week after treatment to avoid more bruising. There are typically no complications in patients who qualify for a Juvederm® treatment, and men and women who choose this facial rejuvenation option almost always return to normal activities right away. Our medical team will discuss all additional safety information with you prior to your appointment. Results can be expected to last for six months to two years, depending on which member of the Juvederm® family is used and how it is injected.
While the static wrinkles, facial hollows, and thin lips that develop due to volume loss respond well to fillers like Juvederm®, other wrinkles—those caused by muscle action—require a different approach. Injectable neuromodulators relax the muscles, leading to a rested, smoother-looking face. Options include BOTOX®, Xeomin®, and Jeuveau™. The effects of Juvederm® are long-lasting, but surgical procedures are a better choice for anyone who wants more dramatic results that can take up to a decade off of an aging face. Consider a facelift, brow lift, or eyelid lift to get a more youthful and alert look that lasts.
Relax the Muscles That Cause Forehead Wrinkles and Crow’s Feet in Western Chicago and Naperville
While some wrinkles respond well to serums and creams, age-related horizontal forehead lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet are not so easily smoothed away. If you want to look refreshed and as young as you feel, you need a treatment that directly targets the cause of these unwanted signs of aging: BOTOX®. The Western Chicago area’s John Bull Center for Cosmetic Surgery & Laser Medispa, serving Naperville and beyond, offers this powerful nonsurgical treatment, which relaxes the hard-working muscles that pull skin into telltale furrows and folds. We strive to deliver the best BOTOX Naperville has to offer.
Anyone interested in this treatment is encouraged to not merely search “BOTOX near me”—because not all injectors are the same. Dr. John Bull and his experienced team administer every injection of BOTOX with care and precision, drawing on years of experience and focused training to generate results that appear natural, not artificial.
What Does BOTOX Cosmetic Treat?
Years of rigorous scientific study and tests led the USFDA to approve BOTOX for three specific cosmetic applications: horizontal forehead lines, frown lines or “11s” between the eyebrows (glabellar lines), and crow’s feet next to the eyes (lateral canthal lines). These lines are all known as “dynamic wrinkles,” which form because of your face’s repetitive muscle actions. Basically, every time you make an expression—from raising your eyebrows to scowling to smiling—specific muscles temporarily pull the skin into a new position. When these muscles relax after you’re done making the expression, your skin settles back into its resting position.
Decade after decade of this activity, however, can cause predictable creases and grooves to form. Over time, the furrows and wrinkles related to certain expressions become increasingly pronounced—and may eventually remain visible, even when the face is at rest. Because it keeps specific muscles from contracting, BOTOX is ideal for addressing these dynamic wrinkles.

How Does BOTOX Work?
BOTOX is a purified form of botulinum toxin, which blocks messages traveling through the nerves to key facial muscles. If these muscles don’t get the orders to contract, they stay at rest instead—though the muscles around them will continue to work as they should.
This means that you will still be able to make expressions. You just won’t show off noticeable forehead lines or crow’s feet when you do. The effects of BOTOX are temporary, lasting three months on average. Any targeted muscles gradually regain their ability to contract. At this point, our Naperville BOTOX patients can choose to get a new round of injections. As a testament to its safety and efficacy, BOTOX has also routinely been used by physicians for years in a number of medical applications, including reducing migraines and curbing excessive and uncontrolled sweating (a condition known as hyperhidrosis).
When administered by a specially trained and experienced medical professional in an appropriate setting, BOTOX is a safe and reliable choice for smoothing out dynamic wrinkles. Patients who want a rejuvenated, more youthful face should understand that while BOTOX is ideal for dynamic wrinkles, it does not work to address static wrinkles, which develop due to volume loss and other aging-related changes. The resulting lines and creases, such as nasolabial folds next to the mouth and nose, are visible even when facial muscles are at rest. A filler or collagen-stimulating treatment is more appropriate for treating static wrinkles, because these options literally “fill in” the space below the skin to smooth out the surface.

An Injectable Double Chin Treatment for Western Chicago and Naperville
Do you have excess fat underneath your chin that creates a bulge and causes you to feel self-conscious about your appearance? At Naperville’s John Bull Center for Cosmetic Surgery & Laser Medispa, we offer injectable Kybella for Western Chicago-area women and men who want to tighten and elevate this problematic area of the lower face without surgical intervention or downtime. We strive to deliver the best Kybella Naperville has to offer. The active ingredient in Kybella is deoxycholic acid, which is found naturally in the body and aids in the breakdown and absorption of fat in the digestive system. Kybella is the first treatment of its kind in the aesthetic industry, and it was extensively tested by the FDA for both safety and efficacy prior to its approval. A series of two to four treatment sessions is typically recommended for maximum results, which can be discussed with our medical team—along with Kybella cost, side effects, and more—during your consultation.
What Does Kybella Treat?
The area beneath the chin, also referred to as the submental area, can accumulate excess fat and create the appearance of a double chin. In a recent study by the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery, nearly 70 percent of men and women reported feeling dissatisfied with the look of this area due to having a noticeable bulge. Submental fullness can be caused by multiple factors, including the natural aging process, weight gain, and genetics. Though having a double chin is a common condition, it can be difficult to slim down—even with a commitment to dieting and exercise. This is where Kybella fat-reduction treatments come in. The deoxycholic acid in the Kybella disrupts the fat cells, leading to their breakdown and a resulting slimmer look.

What Is a Kybella Treatment Session Like in Naperville?
Every treatment plan at the John Bull Center starts with a consultation, which allows the patient to share specific concerns and get answers to questions. It also serves as the starting point for an aesthetic plan, with information gleaned during the consultation used to determine which treatments would be most effective at delivering the results the patient wants.
This is an especially important step for submental fullness, because the look of a double chin—while typically the fault of excess fat cells—can also be caused by lax skin, which requires a different treatment. The Kybella session itself is brief, lasting about 15 to 20 minutes. Your specially trained injector will make multiple injections directly into the submental area, using advanced techniques to make the procedure as comfortable as possible. At the John Bull Center, we use the vibrating NUEVIBE™ device to “distract” the brain from the sensation of the needle entering the skin. Any Naperville Kybella patients with particular concerns over how the injection process will feel can bring this up during their consultation.
