What is Juvederm® and how does it work?
Smoothing wrinkles and folds or giving your mouth a fuller more sensuous look and requires no foreign elements. Juvederm® give shape with NASHA, non-animal, stabilized hyaluronic acid, giving shape with the body’s own natural material called hyaluronic acid. This means no pre testing is required. In the skin it creates volume resulting in a healthier and more vital appearance.
How long will Juvederm® last?
The procedures are long lasting but not permanent, each treatment is unique depending on many factors such as, age, and skin type, lifestyle and muscle activity. Most clients choose to have a follow-up treatment at 6-12 months for wrinkles or facial contouring, and 6 months for lip treatments. The results are instantaneous.
How is Juvederm® administered?
Local anesthetic may be applied pre-treatment. During the treatment the crystal-gel is injected into the skin in tiny amounts with a very thin needle. The gel then gives natural volume and smoothes the wrinkle.
What are the side effects?
After a treatment some common injection-related reactions may occur, such as swelling, redness, pain, itching, discoloration and tenderness at the implant site. These typically resolve spontaneously within 1-2 days after injection to the skin and within 1 week to the lips. Other reactions are very rare but 1 in 2000 treated clients have experienced swelling at the implant site, sometimes affecting the surrounding tissues. These have been described as mild to moderate.
What results can be expected?
The ability of Juvederm® products to integrate with adjacent tissues allows the free passage of vital elements like oxygen and hormones to pass between fragments of the gel. The result is healthy, natural looking smoother, line free skin.
Which product should I use?
Each product is designed for different purposes. Juvederm® Ultra is used for wrinkle correction and lip enhancement. Juvederm® Ultra Plus is used for shaping facial contours such as chin and cheeks, correcting deep folds and for volume lip augmentation. Your physician chooses the product that matches the tissue structure at various levels of skin depths.
