Juvederm is a family of injectable hyaluronic acid dermal fillers used to provide 9 months to one year of correction for moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds (lines from the nose to the corners of the mouth). Juvederm is a smooth gel filler that is injected into your dermis. It works by replacing the HA that has been lost in your skin. Since the treatment is a smooth gel, you will see the results instantly. The best part is that due to the unique gel formula, results have shown that one treatment can provide you with up to one year of natural-looking results. No one will be able to tell that you had a treatment, but they notice how vibrant and fresh your skin looks.
The Juvederm family of fillers includes:
As the years go by and decreasing amounts of collagen and elastin are produced by the body, age-related midface volume loss can occur, this causes the cheeks to flatten and the skin begins to droop and sag. Juvederm Voluma is an injectable filler designed to plump up the cheeks and correct age-related volume loss with deep midface injections. This non-surgical treatment can lift and contour the cheeks and take years off your appearance. Juvederm Voluma has been proven to last up to two years when applied to the cheek area. Results will be visible immediately, and there is no downtime with this safe, non-surgical procedure. Juvederm Voluma injections produce dramatic yet natural looking results. This treatment works against gravity to lift and sculpt the face and add volume, roundness, and fullness to the cheeks.
A dermal filler is a substance that is injected into the “dermal” layer of the skin to augment and reduce the look of wrinkles. Therefore, fillers produce volume under the wrinkle which causes it to be lifted up and smoothed out. There are multiple dermal fillers that are available for aesthetic purposes and they range in durability within the skin, ease of use, and the locations it can be used in the face.
JUVÉDERM® can be used for smoothing out folds and wrinkles, enhancing the lips and shaping facial contours. The most common areas are the nasolabial folds (from the outside of the nose to the angle of the mouth), on/around the lips, marionette lines, glabellar lines (between the eyebrows), cheeks and under the eyes.
Patients are encouraged to ice the treatment area extensively which allows for substantial numbing, as well as minimizing bruising. Numbing creams are also available and allow for the injections to be tolerated better. The actual procedure takes approximately 30-45 minutes. The clear gel is injected into the dermal layer of the skin with a very fine needle. Finally, the area is massaged to ensure that the product is smooth and evenly placed.
Immediately after the treatment, you can expect slight redness, swelling, tenderness or an itching sensation in the treated area. This is a normal result of the injection and usually resolves in 7-10 days.
JUVÉDERM® treatments are long-lasting but not permanent. The length of time a treatment maintains its effectiveness varies depending on the individual. Factors such as age, skin type, injection site, life-style and muscle activity can effect the longevity of the filler. Experience shows that most of the JUVÉDERM® treatments in the nasolabial folds can be effective for up to one year, and up to six months for lip enhancements. Most patients choose to have a follow-up treatment six to twelve months after the initial treatment.
