Dermal fillers are excellent options for treating different skin-related concerns. If you are bothered by the appearance of the early signs of aging such as moderate to severe wrinkles and fine lines then Juvederm is a great way to correct these issues.
Details About Juvederm
Juvederm is composed of a chemical known as hyaluronic acid (HA). HA is a naturally occurring substance in the body. It is found in connective and skin tissues and also around the eyes. It helps the skin receive nutrients and retain moisture. It also keeps the skin plump and in good health. When injected in the skin, it helps to fill wrinkles and add volume to the face.
There are several types of Juvederm fillers containing hyaluronic acid in various concentrations. Each product can address specific skin problems. One concentration specifically targets wrinkles and creases especially those around the nose and the mouth.
Juvederm for Moderate Wrinkles and Lines
Juvederm can effectively treat severe and deep wrinkles, but it is also an effective preventative measure against the development of wrinkles and fine lines if they have yet to become severe.
When your facial skin begins to degrade and lose elasticity, wrinkles will form in different areas of the face. This is a direct result of the aging process, poor lifestyle habits, and stress. You may notice fine lines around the mouth, eyes, and forehead, and a noticeable decrease in volume. With the Juvederm range of fillers for wrinkles, however, anyone with moderate wrinkles can have youthful skin.
Juvederm XC can produce results that can last for at least a year or more. It’s important to note that not all results look the same and a change someone else experienced will not be the same as yours. You should have realistic expectations and understand that your results are yours alone.
A Juvederm treatment session is a quick and painless procedure. You won’t have to worry about experiencing any downtime and you can resume your normal routine soon after the treatment is over. However, you may need to refrain from sun exposure, excessive alcohol consumption, heavy physical activities, and makeup use for a day or two. You may experience some swelling, but this is temporary and will subside in time.
Details to Consider
If you wish to use Juvederm to treat your wrinkles or any other signs of aging you experience in your facial skin, you should talk to a qualified doctor to discuss your specific needs. Your doctor will suggest the right Juvederm product for you. You can even combine multiple Juvederm injections to address different skin problems.
You should inform your doctor if you are planning to undergo other procedures like a chemical peel or laser therapy. If you use Juvederm, you will need to wait for some time to undergo some other treatments. It is important for you to confirm with your doctor the right timeline for Juvederm and other remedies.
You will also need to stop using pain medicines or blood thinners for a few days before and after your treatment. It is a necessary precaution to reduce the risk of bruising from the treatment. It is not specific to Juvederm, but applies to all surgical and nonsurgical treatments.
If you are pregnant or nursing, you may need to wait a while before you can use Juvederm. If you are planning your pregnancy, discuss with your doctor when and how you can use Juvederm.
