Come to Franklin for Juvederm

Volume loss at the mid-face is inevitable. As people grow older, diminished collagen production, decreasing bone density, and changes in the overall structure and modelling of the skin can lead to sagging along the jawline, the formation of static wrinkles, and hollowing of the cheeks. In the past, correcting these issues often meant undergoing an invasive skin-tightening procedure. Now, however, Juvederm® has made it possible for consumers to quickly regain their youthful appearances, and without downtime, surgical invasion, or any actual tissue removal.

What Juvederm® Is and How It Works

Juvederm® is a high-quality dermal filler comprised primarily of hyaluronic acid (HA). This is a naturally occurring substance your body produces to support and hydrate your connective tissues. HA can be found in the joints, skin, and other structures. This solution enhances facial volume by binding directly to skin cells and attracting water molecules. As the amount of accumulated water increases in the treatment area, fine lines and wrinkles, facial hollows, and loose and sagging skin are filled out. Best of all, the water-based plumping action of Juvederm® additionally hydrates the skin through and through.

What to Expect when Receiving Juvederm® Injections

Like many other injectables, Juvederm® is often referred to as a ‘lunchtime facelift.’ This is because dermal filler injections take just minutes to perform. In fact, most treatments last between just 15 and 25 minutes, depending upon the size of the area to be treated and the severity of facial volume loss. Moreover, one of the active ingredients in Juvederm® is lidocaine. This exists to promote continued comfort for clients both during their procedures and after them. As such, not only are these treatments short, they are also quite comfortable as well. 

After your cosmetic concerns have been assessed by the doctor, a quick series of injections will be made at the mid-face and in any other areas affected by significant volume loss. These injections are completed using a very small and thin-tipped needle. Then, a light facial massage will be provided to make sure that this fast-acting solution has been properly distributed. This additionally ensures that the resulting changes in facial volume will be both smooth and even. As soon as your massage is complete, you will be free to leave. There is no downtime with the typical Juvederm® procedure. 

What Can Juvederm® Treat?

The Juvederm® brand produces an impressive range of high-quality dermal fillers that can be used across a very broad range of cosmetic applications. Standard versions of this formula are frequently used in anti-aging treatments. During these procedures, deep creases along the nasolabial folds can be filled in, as can hollows at the cheeks. Juvederm® can fill in loose and sagging skin, and diminish the appearance of marionette lines, or noticeable creases that run from the corners of the mouth to the edges of the chin. This is the perfect solution for filling out deep and static facial wrinkling that isn’t responsive to other non-invasive cosmetic procedures.

This Revolutionary Injectable Hydrates the Skin at All Levels

The rapid plumping action that Juvederm® is responsible for is largely the result of water accumulation. In its natural role, HA binds and collects water at the skin and in the joints. When used in cosmetic procedures, this solution draws water to the mid-face to restore proper hydration at every level of the dermis. As a result, not only do clients leave our office with fewer dynamic wrinkles and smoother-looking skin all-around, but their complexions also achieve the soft, dewy appearance that is often associated with youth and good health.

How Long Will It Take for Juvederm® Results to Appear?

For some people, the results of this treatment may start manifesting right away. In most instances, however, a number of modest improvements will be readily apparent immediately after injection, with additional benefits appearing in the hours and days to come. It can take between three and five days for the hydrating and plumping effects of this product to fully present themselves. 

Understanding the Duration of Your Juvederm® Treatment Results

Because HA is a naturally occurring substance, your body has the inherent ability to break it down. When standard versions of Juvederm® are used to restore lost facial volume, these typically last between six and nine months. As the injected filler gets broken down, passed through the filter organs, and routed out of the body, procedure-related increases in facial volume will gradually disappear. This means that static wrinkles and other evidence of volume loss will slowly start to reappear. To maintain their fresh, youthful looks, many clients opt to receive these injections twice each year.

More advanced formulas from this brand are made with a special cross-linking technology. This links large HA molecules with significantly smaller ones, thereby creating a new hyaluronic acid that’s slightly more difficult to break down. Some Juvederm® products can last as long as nine to twelve months, while others may last as long as twelve to eighteen months or more. It is important to note that some bodies are simply more adept in breaking down and processing this material than others. As such, the duration of results for each treatment can also vary from person to person.

Is Cross-Linked Juvederm® the Best Option for You?

Longer-lasting versions of the Juvederm® formula are often used in both non-invasive lip augmentation and non-surgical rhinoplasty. When used to restore volume at the mid-face, cross-linked Juvederm® is generally best for clients who have already had experience with injectable fillers. The beauty of choosing a treatment with short-term results is being able to maintain the freedom and flexibility to determine exactly how you want to manage the aging process going forward. If you ever find yourself unhappy with the results produced by this injectable, you can rest assured that it will take mere months for the related changes to fade away. Well-seasoned Juvederm® users already have firsthand experience with the improvements that this product is capable of producing and thus, they are well-prepared to make longer-lasting commitments to their treatment outcomes.

Using Juvederm® to Safely and Successfully Augment the Lips

In non-invasive lip augmentation procedures, small quantities of this high-quality, HA-based filler can be used to reshape the lips, and to add volume as needed. These procedures are great for people with naturally thin lips, uneven lip shapes, and lack of symmetry across the entire visage. Much like Juvederm® anti-aging treatments, lip augmentation with this solution produces short-term results. With the added benefit of cross-linked HA, these treatments can last between twelve months and two years. Non-surgical lip augmentation can improve and refine the lip shape, add volume to the top or lower lip (or both), and establish facial balance. These treatments can be particularly advantageous for clients who’ve undergone other forms of cosmetic augmentation such as receiving chin or cheek implants, and who need to enhance the lips in order to establish better balance across all facial features. Moreover, when age-related volume loss occurs at the mid-face, the lips often lose significant volume as well. Lip augmentation with Juvederm® can give the lips a fresher, fuller, and significantly softer look in these instances.

How Juvederm® Stacks Up to Surgical Skin-Tightening Procedures

Juvederm® is capable of correcting many forms of advanced facial aging that were once only possible to address with invasive face lift surgeries. During skin-tightening procedures, small incisions are made in discreet locations along the brow or behind the ears. Then, loose and sagging skin is pulled taut and all excess skin is trimmed away. Once the client’s incisions are sutured closed, the face will have attained a permanently lifted appearance. The primary drawback with this common anti-aging procedure is that it does not address the very real problem of volume loss at the mid-face. Surgically tightening the skin without addressing volume loss can result in an overly taut look, and a decidedly flattened midface area. This is why facelift clients are often unrecognizable even to themselves after their procedures. Conversely, Juvederm® merely restores the missing volume that is responsible for advanced facial aging. This essentially returns people back to their former, youthful appearances without radically altering their natural looks. When done properly, it is often impossible to tell that Juvederm® clients have had any work done at all. Moreover, there is no downtime, excessive risk, or significant aftercare required. It is an all-around easier and significantly more effective way to eliminate static wrinkles, fill in facial hollows, and improve overall facial definition.

The most important difference between Juvederm® and surgical face lifts is the duration of results. HA-based dermal fillers like this one do not require any long-term commitments. More importantly, if people are unhappy with their treatment outcomes, they won’t need to wait long before their pre-treatment appearances are naturally restored. The opposite is true of surgical face lifts. The results of these procedures are permanent and thus, clients who are severely displeased with their face lift results often have to schedule additional surgeries for revision.

Juvederm® Can Be Easily and Safely Paired with Many Other Anti-Aging Procedures

This solution is safe for use with injectables designed to relax dynamic wrinkles such as crow’s feet, perioral creases, and frown lines. When advanced facial aging sets in, combination procedures that include injectable fillers, skin resurfacing treatments, and injectables often provide the greatest and most-needs specific range of benefits. As such, if you’re currently dealing with multiple cosmetic issues and want a safe, simple, and truly effective way to resolve them, feel free to make an appointment with Franklin SKin and Laser. At our convenient locations in Franklin, TN, we can tell you more about the benefits of Juvederm®, and the many non-invasive procedures with which it can be paired.
