Youthful Wrinkle-Free Skin Can Be Yours Thanks to Juvéderm

Do wrinkles, creases, and lines on your face make you look older than you actually are? While the formation of wrinkles and other signs of aging is a natural process, there is no denying the fact that they really do make us look older. Sometimes they may even start appearing in your twenties, when you’re supposed to be enjoying clear and smooth skin.

Premature aging is a very common problem. Thankfully, there is a simple and highly effective solution: Juvéderm.

What Is Juvéderm And What Does It Do?

Juvéderm is a type of injectable dermal filler, a cosmetic treatment that is injected into your skin. It uses hyaluronic acid as its base and is administered all over the world to combat wrinkles and other signs of aging on the skin.

Mostly, patients receive Juvéderm treatments on their faces, specifically on their cheeks and around their mouth and lips. Approved by the FDA in 2006, Juvéderm is among the most commonly administered non-surgical cosmetic procedures in the United States.

Juvéderm helps to fix the loss of elasticity in the skin and fill in lines, wrinkles, and creases around the nose and the mouth. It can also restore and enhance lip volume. Juvéderm Voluma, another type of filler in the Juvederm family of products, is specifically designed to contour your cheeks by adding volume underneath the skin.

What Is the Treatment Procedure Like?

Typically, a Juvéderm treatment session takes 15 to 30 minutes depending on the condition of the patient’s skin and how many injections need to be administered. Juvéderm comes in a pre-packed ready-to-use sterile syringe. This makes the entire process very simple.

To minimize any chance of slight discomfort or pain, Dr. Mandal may apply a topical anesthetic cream to the area where Juvéderm needs to be administered so as to numb the region.

After this, the Juvéderm filler is directly injected into the areas on your face where wrinkles appear. This evens out all the lines and wrinkles in the area, giving you a more youthful look.

Juvéderm’s effects can be seen immediately after treatment. The results are also long-lasting, especially in comparison to other injectable products. The effects of Juvéderm typically last between six and nine months.

In addition, Juvéderm poses little to no risk of causing allergic reactions, since it is composed of biocompatible synthetic hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is found naturally in the body, where it attracts water molecules to maintain skin volume and to keep the skin healthy and moisturized.

Am I a Good Candidate for Juvéderm?

If you are not happy with the appearance of your skin and feel like age lines, wrinkles, and folds are making you look much older than your actual age, Juvéderm is ideal for you. You must also have realistic expectations from the procedure.
