Juvederm
Juvederm Facts
Our skin ages differently and Juvederm may be the solution you need to rejuvenate multiple problem areas. From smile lines to nasolabial folds, unwanted wrinkles can be smoothed away and your natural contours restored with this revolutionary product. From the creators of Botox, the FDA approved Juvederm in June 2006 as a new line of cosmetic fillers. Juvederm is manufactured using Hylacross technology and is infused with lidocaine to improve comfort during your treatment. Juvederm is injected under the skin to instantly smooth facial wrinkles giving you beautiful and natural results.
Juvederm is composed of hyaluronic acid which is a naturally occurring complex sugar found in the human body that helps our skin stay full, elastic, and hydrated. As you age, hyaluronic acid decreases in production and this leads to fine lines and wrinkles mainly around the eyes, mouth, nasolabial folds, and lips. Because hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance, it will gradually absorb into your body.
Juvederm is a non-surgical cosmetic filler made of a smooth consistency gel that is injected under the skin. Juvederm is available in two formulations: Juvederm Ultra for areas where subtle volume enhancement is required and Juvederm Ultra Plus for the correction of severely deep folds and wrinkles.
Once your areas for correction are determined, Dr. Tabas will ease Juvederm into the targeted sites at the mid to deep dermis beneath the surface of your skin. Other approved hyaluronic acid treatments are granular in nature but the smooth consistency of Juvederm allows your treatment to be administered with relative ease and comfort. Unlike collagen-based fillers, Juvederm has a lower risk of allergic reaction offering benefits with no downtime. Scientific studies have shown that Juvederm can stimulate collagen production to enhance its effect over time.
Juvederm Overview
With age, the substance produced naturally by your own body known as hyaluronic acid is broken down. Due to this loss of volume and contour, the result is the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Juvederm works by correcting the laxity in your skin because the hyaluronic acid in Juvederm gives your face a filling effect and moisturizes deep in the skin where you retain water molecules. Working with collagen and elastin to give support to your skin, because hyaluronic acid is non-animal-based and highly biocompatible, no pre-treatment testing is necessary.
The correct choice of an injectable agent is critical to the successful treatment of your wrinkles and because of her extensive experience with cosmetic fillers, Dr. Maxine Tabas will give you a professional assessment of what procedure is best suited for your face.
