 Juvéderm™ Board Certified M.D. administered As we age our skin doesn't just wrinkle, the tissues beneath the skin lose volume causing the skin to sag and fold. A facelift, which surgically removes excess skin, doesn't address the need to infuse the facial features with volume and dimension. A more appropriate treatment for many men and women are Dermal Fillers. These dermal fillers are made of naturally existing molecules such as Hyaluronic Acid and Calcium Hydroxyapatite which are biocompatible, biodegradable, and are absorbed by the body over time. Dermal Fillers may be used to augment diminished, sunken facial features like the cheeks, cheek bones, temples, nasolabial folds (smile lines), and lines around the mouth and lower face. Unlike a surgical facelift, Dermal Fillers can typically be done in around and hour, requires no sedation, and results in little or no downtime. |
What Is Juvéderm™ Injectible Gel? As we age, our skin changes. Over time, the natural volume of youthful skin begins to diminish as wrinkles and folds form. But, with Juvéderm injectible gel, you don't have to just sit back and let it happen! Recently approved by the FDA, Juvéderm injectible gel is a "next-generation" dermal filler. The smooth consistency gel helps to instantly restore your skin's volume and smooth away facial wrinkles and folds, like your "smile lines" or "parentheses" (nasolabial folds the creases that run from the bottom of your nose to the corners of your mouth). Juvéderm is made of hyaluronic acid a naturally occurring substance in your skin that helps to add volume and hydration. Our clinicians ease Juvéderm injectable gel under the skin to provide a smooth, natural look and feelso everyone will notice (but no one will know)! Benefits of Juvéderm™ Injectible Gel Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers like Juvéderm™ offer a safe and effective nonsurgical option for smoothing facial wrinkles and folds. In fact, they are the fastest growing nonsurgical aesthetic procedure in the United States according to the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. |

After the procedure: With JUVÉDERM®, there is minimal recovery or downtime. For the first 24 hours following treatment, you should avoid strenuous exercise, excessive sun or heat exposure, and consumption of alcoholic beverages in order to help minimize the risks of temporary redness, swelling, and/or itching at the treatment sites. After the treatment, some temporary injection-related reactions may occur, including redness, pain, firmness, swelling, and bumps. Studies have shown that these are usually mild to moderate in nature and clear up on their own in 7 days or less. If you experience swelling at the injection site, you can apply an ice pack for a brief period. Your healthcare professional will tell you when makeup may be applied after your treatment. Seeing results: You should see an immediate improvement in the treatment areas. Most patients need one treatment to achieve optimal wrinkle smoothing. And one treatment could smooth your lines and wrinkles for up to 1 year! However, results may vary and correction is temporary. Supplemental "touch up" treatments may be required to achieve and maintain optimal results. |
