Juvederm line

Natural look and feel that lasts and lasts! As we age, our skin reduces production of Hyaluronic Acid or HA. Loss of this naturally hydrating substance results in wrinkles and lines. Juvederm Injectable Gel hyaluronic acid

Our facility provides a skin care product containing Hyaluronic Acid and by injecting it in the area lacking HA, the wrinkles and folds can be successfully corrected. The advantage of Juvederm vs. Restylane or collagen fillers is that it lasts up to one year! Juvederm is the only HA filler that is approved by FDA to last up to 1 year!

Juvederm looks more natural than granular dermal fillers because it is compounded as a smooth gel. This is due to innovative technology called HYLACROSS.

When Juvederm was injected in the study group where patients didn't know which product they are getting, 90% of patients chose Juvederm instead of other products. Juvederm has been successfully tested on all skin types. Common side effects with Juvederm are mild to moderate. If you have any concerns, please call immediately for professional advice. Patients that are using medications or herbs that could promote bleeding may experience increased bruising or bleeding at injection site.

The aging process is one that consists of gradual changes to the skin and its underlying foundation. As a result of this natural process wrinkles along with folds begin to appear, thus weakening your skin, reducing its total volume and taking away from your overall youthful appearance.

With the recent advent of the FDA approved injectable gel, Juvederm™, you will no longer have to surrender to the diminishing effects of aging. Juvederm™ was created to directly address and correct these issues.

 

Juvederm™ is the latest in dermal filler technology and is introduced in an injectable gel form to immediately repair and rejuvenate volume in problematic areas.

Juvederm™ was developed to provide an effective solution to restore your youthful appearance and combat winkles and nasolabial folds in and around your face. Nasolabial folds are tiny folds or wrinkles that begin from the base of your nose to the edges of your mouth giving what some people may call (parentheses).


What is Juvederm?


You may be asking yourself “what is this innovative treatment that restores your skins youthful glow”. What is Juvederm?

Juvederm™ is an injectable gel filler, composed primarily of a natural bodily substance that promotes volume and assists in hydration; Hyaluronic Acid (HA). The Juvederm™ gel will be injected beneath the skin to result in silky, soft skin that is both smooth and natural looking, resulting in a more youthful appearance which many patients desire.

One of the great benefits of Juvederm™ is that the results look very natural; therefore the appearance of treatment is unnoticeable to everybody else. When compared with other collagen based treatments in a recent study, Juvederm™ was chosen 80-90 percent over the other injectable dermal fillers such as Zyplast and other bovine collagen products. Juvederm™ not only works well on light skin, but is the only FDA approved Hyaluronic Acid dermal injectable filler that is both safe and effectual for those of color.

Treatments with Juvederm™, including the injection process, typically last about 15-20 minutes and the results are instantaneous. The injections will be carried out on the affected areas which are determined prior to treatment.

One of the many other great benefits of Juvederm™ is that there is practically no recovery time. You can return to work the same day with minimal discomfort. Depending on your specific case, minor pain, redness, slight firmness or swelling may occur after treatment but will subside usually within a day or even a few hours.

If Juvederm™ is used to address reasonable to severe aging effects, the injections will need to be focused toward the middle to bottom layers of the dermis. The side effects will typically be the same but the period of recovery may last as long as a week. The ultimate result from Juvederm™ injectable filler treatments is a vastly rejuvenated complexion and a more youthful and healthy skin appearance.


Benefits of Juvederm Treatment


Juvederm™, an injectable gel dermal filler, promotes a secure and efficient, non-invasive, non-surgical method to address and correct wrinkles and folds in facial areas. Juvederm™ was classified by the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) as becoming one of the most popular, non-surgical, anti-aging treatments available in the United States. Don't be mistaken though, the benefits of Juvederm treatment are unlike any other dermal filler available. If you are considering treatment with Juvederm™, the non-surgical injectable dermal filler, you should be aware of the many benefits that Juvederm™ has over its competitors.

Juvederm™ is considered to be the "future" in dermal filler technology. The gel is composed primarily from hyaluronic acid which as is a material naturally and readily found throughout the human body. It promotes hydration of the skin as well as serves to restore volume to the skin and its underlying foundations. It is not produced from any form of animal tissue and no form of testing is required prior to the Juvederm™ injection treatment.

Innovative technologies contribute to highly favorable results with Juvederm™. The gel is manufactured in a very unique fashion resulting in the maximum levels of hyaluronic acid concentration when compared to many of the current hyaluronic acid based products available for treatment. This uniquely developed technology is manufactured in a gel form that is even in consistency, resulting in smooth, natural, and youthful looking skin once injected. This gel is unique to all other hyaluronic acid based products in that the gel is smooth rather than granular.

FDA approved for safety and efficiency, Juvederm™ is the one of the first treatments that has proven to be highly effective and extremely safe for people of color. Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers have, in the past, had issues in people with dark skin. This is no longer a problem due to the chemical composition and unique manufacturing process of Juvederm™.

Fast Treatment, Fast Recovery: Juvederm™ injectable dermal filler gel treatments are typically completed within 15-20 minutes. The process is a non surgical treatment that is accomplished by injecting the hyaluronic acid gel into the troubled layers of the dermis. Results are instantaneous and no prior skin tests are required. Recovery time depends on the level of treatment but typically you should return to work the same day!

Various Levels of Treatment: The Juvederm™ treatment is formulated into two products; Juvederm™ Ultra and Juvederm™ Ultra Plus. For many patients with minor to moderate skin ailments, Juvederm™ Ultra will provide volume and address wrinkles and folds in the facial region. For those patients with moderate to severe wrinkles and folds, Juvederm™ Ultra Plus is recommended to address those areas and provide the highly favorable results you desire. Depending on your particular case, the practitioner will be able to determine the appropriate product for your needs.


How Juvederm Works


As an injectable gel, Juvederm™ is a safe, non surgical, method of treatment administered by a practitioner. Below, you will find information on how Juvederm works and how it properties offer results that are highly desirable. The Juvederm™ gel will be injected directly under the skin surrounding the affected area. The injection is relatively painless and uses a very fine needle to enhance and fill the dermal tissue - the tissue located directly beneath the epidermis - adding volume along with properties to combat wrinkles and/or folds. Injection sites for the Juvederm™ treatment are determined prior to the procedure but the treatment typically works very well to combat wrinkles or folds around the face, specifically laugh and/or smile lines, along with parentheses (nasolabial) and marionette lines (oral commissures).

Juvederm™ injectable gel is considered to be the next generation dermal filler. The gel is composed primarily of a naturally found substance called hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a substance that assists in hydration and serves to promote volume to the skin. As people age, the hyaluronic acid dissipates resulting in the creation of wrinkles or folds. Juvederm™ combats this aging effect by restoring this natural substance into your skin, resulting in both smoothing and stretching of the skin to erase wrinkles and folds, giving you the results you desire.

The manufacturing process of Juvederm™ is a key component to its great success with providing the highly desirable results patients come to expect. The unique manufacturing process of Juvederm™ provides a very high concentration of what’s known as cross-linked hyaluronic acid particles. When compared to the other available hyaluronic acid dermal fillers, Juvederm™ excels due to its higher concentration of H acid providing longer lasting results. Along with the high concentrations of H acid, the Juvederm™ manufacturing process generates a gel, that is smooth in consistency, which when injected, creates both a smooth and natural look for patients without any noticeable scars or bruises; No one will know you’ve had the treatment. You will just get compliments on how great you look!


What to Expect at the Office


Treatment with Juvederm™ injectable gel is not only safe but is non-surgical as well. This results in little to almost no recovery time allowing you, the patient, to return to daily activities immediately. You can schedule an appointment whenever it’s convenient for you and when finished, you can get right back to your life. The information below is what to expect at the practitioners office for a Juvederm™ treatment. (Of course, while most experiences are similar to what’s mentioned below, individual cases may vary from the described routine).

Prior to your visit, many practitioners recommend the avoidance of any medications that may promote prolonged bleeding; Aspirin and some non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs). This avoidance should last typically for about 1 week prior to treatment and it serves to lessen the risk of injection site bruising or bleeding. Feel free to contact our office to determine the best course of action.

Upon arrival, we will determine whether this is your first visit. If so, we will question you concerning your medical history, any allergies that you may possibly have, and any medications that you are currently taking. We will describe the Juvederm™ treatment and explain to you how it works to combat wrinkles and folds.

During your visit, the practitioner will examine the facial tissue surrounding the affected area and will make an assessment of the level of treatment required, based on the depth of wrinkles or folds. The Juvederm™ treatment is available in two forms – Juvederm™ Ultra for minor to moderate damaged skin and Juvederm™ Ultra Plus for moderate to severe damaged skin. The ability to offer Juvederm™ in these two formulations offers your practitioner the opportunity to fine-tune and tailor your treatment to your specific needs or desires. We may even take pre-treatment images to let you compare the difference before and after treatment.

Prior to treatment, your practitioner may or may not use a topical or injectable anesthesia around the affected area. Anesthesia is not required during this procedure yet some cases may warrant its use.

The Treatment; the Juvederm™ gel will be injected directly under the skin surrounding the affected area. Depending on your specific case, the practitioner may or may not massage, gently, the surrounding area. The treatment itself is relatively short, lasting no longer than 15-20 minutes, and results are instantaneous.

Post Procedure: with Juvederm™, results are long lasting and immediate with little to no recovery time. For the first day following the procedure, you should try to avoid heavy exercise, prolonged sun and heat exposure, and you may want to avoid the consumption of alcohol in order to lessen the risks of redness, swelling, or itching. In some cases, mild pain, redness, firmness, or swelling may occur but should dissipate by itself within seven days or less. Ice packs may be used to decrease possible swelling and your practitioner will let you know when it’s safe to continue applying makeup.

Results are immediate and you should notice marked improvement to the affected area. Most clients should need no more than 1 treatment however your particular case may warrant a second visit. Results are long lasting with time frames of up to 6 months or even more. Your practitioner will schedule subsequent visits for "touch ups" on a case by case basis to help maintain optimal results.
