Juvederm
It’s no secret that, as we age, we start to lose collagen and fat in our faces. Without collagen and fat, our skin starts to sag and show wrinkles more easily. Thankfully, you can do a few things to fight the signs of aging, such as use Juvederm® dermal fillers.
Juvederm® is the only hyaluronic acid dermal filler that the Food and Drug Administration has approved. Hyaluronic acid is a type of carbohydrate that attracts water. Injecting it into your face makes your skin look plumper and youthful by removing wrinkles.
FDA-Approved Injection Sites for Juvederm®
The FDA has approved Juvederm® injections for use in the cheeks, chin, undereyes, lips, and nasolabial folds (the parentheses that typically form around the mouth).
For example, we can inject Juvederm® into your cheeks to increase fullness. Also, we can use Juvederm® for lip augmentation or for reducing the appearance of circles under your eyes.
Benefits of Juvederm®
Juvederm® isn’t the only facial filler on the market, so what makes it so great? Firstly, the effects of Juvederm® are immediate. Right after injection, you’ll see a noticeable reduction in deep and fine wrinkles in your face. Since Juvederm® is hyaluronic acid, it’s safe to use in nearly any area of your face, including your lips.
Juvederm® isn’t just safe to use. It also lasts a long time. In most cases, the injections last six months to a year. Over time, the formula slowly and safely disintegrates into your body. Because of how long it lasts, regular injections aren’t as necessary as with other facial fillers.
Another benefit of Juvederm® is that it’s relatively inexpensive compared to plastic surgeries, such as brow-lifts, face-lifts, or eyelid surgeries. On top of that, it requires no allergy testing of any kind. The reason is that hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance that your body produces. As a result, Juvederm® is a great option for people who are allergic to other facial fillers.
Juvederm® is FDA-indicated for injection in the cheeks, chin, undereyes, lips, and nasolabial folds (the parentheses around the mouth). These cosmetic treatments can help restore volume and smooth wrinkles for a more youthful appearance.
The results of Juvederm® injections are immediate and can last up to a year. Over time, the effects will fade, as the hyaluronic acid will slowly disintegrate into the body. Regular injections may be needed to maintain optimal results.
