The ultimate guide to Juvederm in Mexico City

Last fact-checked: 8 December 2019

Juvederm® treatment in Mexico City can not only save you money but also revitalize your skin giving you a more youthful look.

This simple course of injection works by smoothing out lines and adds volume to certain facial features. The procedure is safe because the active ingredient occurs naturally within the human body, and you can achieve natural-looking results with virtually no downtime.

Why Have Juvederm in Mexico City?

Whether you’re in Mexico City on business or enjoying a vacation, having Juvederm treatment while you’re there can save you close to 50% compared to the prices you would be charged back home.

There has been a massive investment in Mexico’s medical infrastructure; today, many of the facilities and much of the medical expertise are on par with the level of service you would expect to receive domestically. As a result, medical tourism is a growing industry in Mexico, continuingly gaining popularity because of the quality services. All of the clinics in Mexico City listed on our site comply with the same international safety and hygiene standards as any other medical facilities throughout the world. Doctors receive the same training and qualifications as their international counterparts, and the same equipment and brands are widely utilized.

That being said, you should ensure that you carry out the proper research beforehand rather than just dropping into a clinic on spec. Like anywhere else in the world, some establishments will be less reputable than others so it’s vitally important that you know what you’re signing up for. That is where Medical Departures helps.

We have accumulated a list of recommended clinics that you can access for free on our website. Before including any facility on these lists, every single doctor and clinic is subjected to a number of background checks that include verifying professional memberships and qualifications. Site visits are undertaken to ensure that the facility is up to scratch and photographs taken so that you can see exactly what is available. We also publish reviews from actual patients so that you can make an informed decision as to where to have your Juvederm treatment carried out.

Mexico’s commitment to medical tourism ensures that you will be able to find medical staff and services in Mexico City that adhere to international health and safety standards.

How Long Does Juvederm Treatment Take and What Is Involved?

Juvederm involves a series of Hyaluronic Acid (HA) injections that are usually administered under local anesthetic. The whole procedure lasts between ten minutes to an hour, dependant upon how many areas are being treated.

Hyaluronic acid is a chemical that occurs naturally in our bodies and can be found in the joints, eyes and skin. It is a natural skin lubricant and moisturizer that has the capacity to retain over 1,000 times its weight in water.

Babies possess high quantities of hyaluronic acid when they are born, which is why they have skin which is smooth, plump and soft. As we age, however, our body produces less hyaluronic acid resulting in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles due to a loss of moisture in the skin. With Juvederm injections, you can restore your skin’s missing hyaluronic acid and recapture a more youthful appearance.

What Is the Recovery Time for a Juvederm Procedure?

You will probably experience some skin tenderness, redness and swelling afterward, but these are temporary side effects and should dissipate completely within around 48 hours. In any event, you should be able to go about your everyday business as normal as soon as you leave the clinic.

You should be able to see a noticeable difference in your appearance immediately after your treatment and the effects can last for as long as 12 months, although you can return for top-up injections to sustain the results for longer.

What Is the Cost of Juvederm in Mexico City?

Juvederm is usually charged per syringe, with one or two syringes being required depending on which area of the face is being treated.

In the United States, you would typically pay around USD $500 (CAD $600, GBP £320, Euros 450, AUD $650), whereas in Mexico City the average cost is closer to USD $275 (CAD $330, GBP £175, Euros 240, AUD $350).
