Top 3 Areas to Address With Juvederm
Juvederm is an FDA approved cosmetic dermal filler made out of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in your body, that works to hydrate and add volume to your skin.
How is Juvederm different from Botox? While Botox works to relax the muscles of your face that pull your skin into creases, Juvederm skin treatment works by ‘filling in’ the wrinkles or creases in your face.
It can be used for a number of different cosmetic purposes, but some of the main ones include:
1. Plump Lips
If you’ve noticed that your lips are getting thinner with age, then you may want to consider a Juvederm skin treatment. When performed by a skilled plastic surgeon or knowledgeable Juvederm injector, this filler can work to:
- Replenish lost volume in your mouth
- Balance out asymmetric lips
- Reduce the appearance of fine lines around your mouth
Even better? The treatment takes less than 15 minutes and the results are quickly visible and can last for up to 12 months!
2. Lift and Contour Cheeks
Fine lines and wrinkles are not the only changes that you may notice as you get older. The cheeks have a tendency to flatten and lose volume, which may cause an aging appearance.
Juvederm is designed to add volume beneath the skin’s surface and will lift and contour the cheek area. This skin treatment can be completed in 20-30 minutes and you’ll be able to go back to your normal routine with zero downtime.
3. Reduce Parentheses Lines
As we age, the skin has a tendency to lose moisture and elasticity, which is why fine lines can develop around the mouth and nose. This includes:
- Marionette lines
- Nasolabial folds
- Smile lines
- Vertical lip lines
Juvederm can be used to add volume to the face, which in turn will drastically reduce the appearance of these parentheses lines. The results will typically last 9-12 months and patients often need less Juvederm when they’re treated again.
Key Facts About Juvederm Skin Treatment
When administered by a trained professional, Juvederm is a very effective skin treatment. However, before you decide to undergo this procedure, there are a few key facts about this dermal filler that you should know:
- It’s made from hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally produced by the body, and so is extremely safe.
- The procedure can often be completed within 15-30 minutes but this may vary depending on the treatment site.
- You can return to your normal activities immediately after you get Juvederm, however, you should avoid strenuous exercise, sun exposure, and alcohol consumption for 24 hours.
- It’s normal to experience some pain, tenderness, bruising, and redness in the treated area, but this is only temporary and will go away within 1 week.
