Juvederm dermal filler
As we age, soft tissue in the face degenerates, resulting in a thinning of the skin and a loss of firmness, plumpness and elasticity. This leads to sagging, sinking and a general flattening of facial features. Surgery can help tighten the skin and botulinum toxin injections can relax facial muscles to release dynamic wrinkles, but neither can replace lost volume. With Juvederm® products, you can ensure the most effective solution for restoring volume reducing the signs of aging and helping you look fresher and more youthful.
EFFECTS OF LOST VOLUME
- Forehead lines and nasolabial folds become prominent
- Eyebrows droop
- Lips become thinner and the Cupid‘s bow loses definition
- Marionette lines and pre-jowl depressions deepen beside the mouth
- Wrinkles, furrows, blood vessels and bone structures become more visible
When the appropriate filler is recommended for you, it is injected into the skin; the result is increased volume – softening wrinkles and folds on the face. Increased volume can create facial fullness and symmetry, enhance certain facial features, and lessen the signs of aging. Filler products feature different gel particle sizes that are utilized for different effects and purposes – from eliminating tiny lines to enhancing facial contours. Your aesthetic physician will choose the right product combination to create the look you desire.
Both Restylane and Juvederm particles are composed of hyaluronic acid, a natural substance already present in the human body.
Restylane and Juvederm are fully biocompatible and treatments can be carried out immediately, with no need to wait for allergy testing. Treatments usually take around 30 minutes and effects generally last for about six months to a year.
