Has age brought about some unfavorable changes, such as wrinkles and loose skin? Perhaps your cheeks have lost their volume, making your face look hollow. These are common signs of aging experienced by millions of people worldwide. Thankfully, there is an abundance of anti-aging solutions to look forward to. One such treatment is JUVÉDERM.
At Laser Aesthetics of Cape Cod, we offer JUVÉDERM fillers for your benefit! We can help you look younger without a costly surgical procedure. If you think dermal fillers like JUVÉDERM might be right for you, a consultation in Hyannis, MA is a great place to start.
JUVÉDERM is a non-surgical, minimally-invasive dermal filler that can make you look younger. JUVÉDERM is the collective name for a group of dermal fillers with varying purposes. Each dermal filler has a different gel consistency to treat a different area of your face.
JUVÉDERM is injected underneath the skin at varying levels to restore volume, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, stimulate collagen production, and tighten skin. After your JUVÉDERM injection, your body will produce more collagen to make your skin tighter and smoother.
The primary ingredient in JUVÉDERM is something known as hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a substance that is found naturally in the soft tissue under your eyes. However, as you get older, your body no longer produces enough hyaluronic acid to keep your skin smooth and firm. Hyaluronic acid also attracts water molecules from your body to give you softer skin.
Since hyaluronic acid is a natural compound, your body won’t reject it or develop an allergic reaction. This makes JUVÉDERM a low-risk cosmetic treatment. Additionally, the hyaluronic acid used in JUVÉDERM is synthesized rather than sourced from human skin, further minimizing the risk of allergic reactions.
Each product in the JUVÉDERM family is designed to target a particular area of your face. The varying gel consistencies allow for different results. Here is a list of JUVÉDERM’s collection of dermal fillers and what they can treat:
JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA has a thin consistency. VOLBELLA is a JUVÉDERM lip filler that adds volume to your lips while redefining the lines around them. It is ideal for restoring volume and balance to your face for a younger look.
JUVÉDERM VOLUMA can help you target sunken areas on your face, especially under your cheeks. As you get older, you don’t make enough collagen and elastin even though these proteins are essential for keeping your face tight, smooth, and full. If you would like to address hollow areas on your face, JUVÉDERM VOLUMA is worth your time and money!
JUVÉDERM VOLLURE is slightly thicker than the other JUVÉDERM fillers. That is why it is mostly used for deep facial folds and wrinkles. You can also use JUVÉDERM VOLLURE to reduce the appearance of wrinkles on your hands.
Another way to enhance your lips is with JUVÉDERM ULTRA. This JUVÉDERM lip filler can give your lips a plumper appearance while correcting their contours. In addition to treating your lips, JUVÉDERM ULTRA can reduce the appearance of marionette lines running between your mouth and chin.
JUVÉDERM ULTRA PLUS is a thick gel commonly used for severe wrinkles and volume loss. Due to the thick gel consistency and drastic results, JUVÉDERM ULTRA PLUS contains lidocaine to numb the treatment area and prevent discomfort from the injection.
Results from a JUVÉDERM treatment can typically be seen immediately after the session. The full effect becomes more apparent as any mild swelling or redness diminishes, usually within a few days to a week. Since JUVÉDERM integrates with your tissue, the enhancements look natural, subtly improving your appearance over time. As the product settles, you will notice a smoother look that refreshes your facial contours.
Dermal fillers are temporary cosmetic treatments. After a while, your body removes the filler from your skin. The results will eventually wear off, and you will need to schedule another treatment. However, JUVÉDERM offers long-lasting results. In fact, JUVÉDERM is one of the most durable dermal fillers on the market, with most of its products lasting over two years. Some JUVÉDERM products may last about 6-12 months.
At the end of the day, each patient is different and will experience different results. Thankfully, JUVÉDERM treatments are quick, making it easy for you to schedule another appointment when your JUVÉDERM results wear off.
It won’t take long to administer your JUVÉDERM injection. Many patients visit us during their lunch break for their JUVÉDERM treatment. It is a non-surgical treatment, so there is no downtime. You can jump back into your daily routine right after your treatment.
You may worry about looking stiff or unnatural with dermal fillers. However, JUVÉDERM’s results are subtle. It takes JUVÉDERM a few weeks to work, so the changes will appear gradually. This only enhances the natural results of JUVÉDERM. JUVÉDERM can treat static and dynamic wrinkles, offering a full treatment for your skin.
The ideal candidate for a JUVÉDERM treatment is an individual seeking to combat signs of aging like wrinkles and lost facial volume without undergoing surgery. This non-invasive option is particularly suitable for adults who are not pregnant, do not have severe allergies (especially to filler ingredients), and are in good health.
To prepare for your JUVÉDERM treatment, avoid medications that can thin the blood, such as aspirin and ibuprofen, for at least a week prior. It’s also advisable to stop taking supplements like vitamin E, fish oil, and St. John’s Wort. These precautions help reduce the risk of bruising and swelling at the injection site. Make sure your skin is clean and free of any makeup or lotions on the day of your appointment.
After receiving JUVÉDERM filler, it’s important to avoid touching or applying pressure to the treated areas for the first 24 hours. This helps the filler settle properly without shifting. Keeping the area cool and avoiding strenuous activities can also minimize swelling. Keep out of the sun and avoid excessive heat such as saunas or hot tubs for a couple of days to get the best results.
