Look younger with Juvéderm wrinkle fillers in Jupiter, FL

Loss of elasticity and volume in the skin is a normal part of the aging process. Still, it doesn’t mean that we must settle for looking older. Skin laxity can pave the way for deep lines and wrinkles, hollowness along the cheeks, and under the eyes. Adding to that exhausted, aging appearance is other factors such as sun damage, illness, smoking, changes in weight and genetics. So, what should a person do about this natural occurrence? The answer is dermal fillers like Juvéderm. At the Center for Dermatology, Cosmetic & Laser Surgery in Jupiter, FL, we use Juvéderm to treat facial folds, static wrinkles, and the loss of facial volume that occurs as a result of aging.

About Juvéderm Wrinkle Fillers

Juvéderm is composed of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body. The purpose of hyaluronic acid is to provide lubrication to the connective tissue of the skin. When your skin has proper hydration, it stays supple and appears firmer and less saggy. When Juvéderm is injected into the skin, it binds with existing collagen to plump up the tissue. The result is improvement in facial symmetry, increase in under eye and cheek volume, and a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles.

Juvéderm can be used on several areas of the face, with results lasting for up to a year. The most common areas for Juvéderm injections are:

Nasolabial folds (the lines between the nose and mouth)
Marionette Lines (also called smoker’s lines, these are at the corners of the mouth)
Loss of volume (under the eyes, the cheeks, and along the jawline)

Candidates for Juvéderm

If you are unhappy with any of the early signs of aging, you may be a great candidate for Juvéderm treatment. It is safe for use on both men and women and any skin type. Candidates for Juvéderm treatment should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations for results. Individuals who have a history of allergic reactions to dermal filler injections should not receive treatment. During the consultation, we can determine if Juvéderm is right for you.

The Juvéderm Consultation

If you are interested in Juvéderm anti-aging treatments, the first step is to schedule a consultation at our Jupiter, FL office. During this appointment we will discuss medical history, assess the health of your skin, and talk to you about your desired results from treatment. We will also be happy to answer any questions you have about Juvéderm treatments as well as sharing with you some of our before and after photos. If we determine that Juvéderm is right for you, we can schedule your treatment.

The Juvéderm treatments

Juvéderm injections are quick and can be completed in a simple appointment lasting about thirty minutes. Prior to starting the procedure, we will map out the locations of the injections. Several techniques are available for us to use depending on the desired results. All of this will be discussed with you prior to the procedure.

While Juvéderm does contain Lidocaine which helps with discomfort, patients may also opt for a numbing cream prior to injections. The injections take only a few minutes. Once completed, patients can resume normal daily activities.

Results from Juvéderm

Preliminary results from Juvéderm injections will be visible immediately after the treatment. Patients will see a reduction in lines and wrinkles and an increase in volume around the treatment area before leaving the office. Results will continue to improve in the following weeks as swelling and redness resolves. Because Juvéderm triggers the body to produce more collagen, results will continue to improve for anywhere from six to twelve months or longer. Maintenance sessions will be recommended to prolong the results after they have begun to diminish.

Juvéderm is the number one facial filler in the country to eliminate static wrinkles and restore lost facial volume that occurs because of aging. In addition to offering Juvéderm wrinkle fillers, we also offer other injectable such as Botox for a minimally invasive liquid facelift.
