Juvederm For Improving Your Skin's Volume

By Melinda Croning


As a result of aging and the damaging effects of the sun, the volume of the skin decreases, and fine lines, sags, and wrinkles begin to appear. You can turn back the clock on aged skin by restoring its volume, and filling out the sags and wrinkles. The FDA has approved the Juvederm treatment in Tampa, and although there are numerous treatments available that promise to improve the volume of skin, the results of this treatment last up to one year. The appearance of sags and wrinkles will be reduced, and your skin will be noticeably smoother and fuller after a volumizing treatment.

How Does It Work?

Juvederm treatments are performed in a clinical setting by a qualified clinician or doctor using sterile equipment. The Juvederm gel is injected underneath the skin's surface. Areas of tissue that have been affected by volume loss are where your doctor injects gel. The gel effectively adds volume to the skin by filling it out, essentially replacing the tissues and the collagen that are lost over the years when tissues break down. Tissues get a smoother appearance because the treatment boosts the facial tissues and fills out wrinkles, sags, and fine lines. Common problem areas, like smile lines and saggy jowls, are some of the areas that can benefit the most from the gel. The treatment lasts for many months without the need for touchups, a filler of this type can erase years from one's appearance.

There is only mild pain during the actual procedure, and after the procedure some pain can linger for just a few days. The gel is very smooth in consistency, which helps diminish the amount of pain that comes with the injecting process, as opposed to other filler products that don't offer that same, smooth texture. The treatment areas can be numbed topically to alleviate any pain associated with the procedure, such as the injecting of the gel. This is an option available, especially to ease your comfort during a first-time procedure, although many find that they do not need any numbing while having the procedure performed.

Why Choose Juvederm?

Why should you choose Juvederm, considering the number of products available to fill skin and increase the volume? You should choose this treatment for many reasons. First, the results may be seen for up to a year, it is approved by the FDA. Juvederm's effects last longer than other fillers, which are known to work for a short time. This means that you can continue seeing the results while users of other treatments are heading back to their doctors for frequent touch ups. Botox might not necessarily handle smile lines,and other areas, as well as Juvederm does. Because smile lines are different than wrinkles that appear and disappear, it makes sense that a different sort of medication would be more ideal in taking care of them.

A recent independent study at the University of Michigan Medical School found that dermal fillers might slow, or even reverse, the aging of skin cells.

A cross-linked hyaluronic acid filler, such as Juvederm, has been shown by researchers to enhance structural support of the skin, by producing more fibroblasts (collagen producers), stimulating fibroblasts to create collagen, increasing blood vessels and improving skin thickness. It also improved other mechanisms of youthful skin.
