About Juvederm Injections
A number of patients longing for smoother, younger-looking skin visit a top cosmetic specialist to undergo Juvederm, an advanced anti-aging treatment. It is an effective and FDA-approved gel-based substance that helps patients reverse the aging process. Skilled board-certified plastic surgeons inject the gel back into the skin giving it a 90 percent wrinkle-free facial appearance.
Juvederm is injected into the dense inner layer of the skin that is composed of a complex network of nerves and blood vessels. During the procedure, plastic surgeons utilize small needles to minimize any discomfort and inject the gel into previously identified problem areas of the face, which may vary from one patient to another. Juvederm is administered within 15 to 20 minutes and patients are ready to leave the doctor's office immediately following treatment. Results are immediate and typically last anywhere from six to 12 months.
Juvederm is available in three formulas, including Juvederm, Juvederm Ultra and Juvederm Ultra Plus. Each formula varies in intensity and dosage levels, allowing plastic surgeons to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds. In additions to adding volume and creating a smooth facial appearance, Juvederm hydrates the skin, thus making the results appear natural.
Juvederm is one of the safest anti-aging treatments available today. In fact, because Juvederm is a natural occurring substance that causes no harm, the gel is gradually absorbed by the patient's body, allowing for repeat injections and/or frequent touch-up treatments.
Juvederm is associated with rare side effects that generally subside within three to seven days following initial treatment. These include injection site irritation, redness, swelling, facial lumps and discoloration. To avoid infection, which is associated with all skin injection procedures, Juvederm should only be injected into the patient's skin by an authorized medical professional.
Juvederm can also be utilized as an effective touch-up procedure and/or to further enhance aesthetic results following plastic surgery, including rhinoplasty, eyelid surgery, facelift, forehead lift, brow lift, chin augmentation and similar advanced cosmetic surgery procedures performed by top surgeons.
