How It Functions
Juvederm treatments are performed in a clinical setting by a qualified clinician or doctor using sterile equipment. Below the surface of the skin, the Juvederm gel is injected. The gel is injected by your doctor into areas of tissue that have lost volume. Because collagen is lost over the years and tissues break down, the gel effectively adds volume to the skin by filling it out, essentially replacing the tissues and the lost collagen. The treatment offers a boost for the facial tissues and gives tissues a smoother appearance by filling out sags, fine lines, and wrinkles. Common problem areas, like smile lines and saggy jowls, are some of the areas that can benefit the most from the gel. Years can be erased from one's appearance with a filler of this type, and touchups are not needed for many months.
The procedure itself is only mildly painful, and some pain can linger for a few days after the procedure. Other filler products don't offer the same smooth texture of the Juvederm gel, which helps diminish the amount of pain that comes with the injecting process. The treatment areas can be numbed topically to alleviate any pain associated with the procedure, such as the injecting of the gel. Many find that they do not need any numbing while having the procedure performed, but it is an option available, especially to ease your comfort during a first-time procedure.
Why Choose Juvederm?
There are many products on the market that increase the volume and fill skin, so why is Juvederm the best choice? There are numerous reasons why this treatment should be your top choice. For one, the FDA has approved the treatment, indicating that the results may be seen for up to a year. Juvederm's effects last longer than other fillers, which are known to work for a short time. You keep seeing your results, unlike those people who have had different products and have to return for touch ups regularly. Botox might not necessarily handle smile lines,and other areas, as well as Juvederm does. Because smile lines are different than wrinkles that appear and disappear, it makes sense that a different sort of medication would be more ideal in taking care of them.
The University of Michigan Medical School published a study recently showing that dermal fillers could delay, or even reverse, skin cells' aging.
Research showed that a cross-linked hyaluronic acid filler, such as Juvederm, enhances structural support of the skin with stimulated fibroblasts to create collagen, increase blood vessels, produce more fibroblasts (collagen producers) and improve skin thickness. It also improved other mechanisms of youthful skin.
