Dermal fillers like Juvederm injectable gel offer a safe and effective nonsurgical option for smoothing facial wrinkles and folds. In fact, they are the fastest growing nonsurgical aesthetic procedure in the United States according to the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. Studies have shown superior results of Juvederm when compared to another typical collagen-based dermal filler. Juvederm is a gel implant that includes hyaluronic acid, a natural complex sugar that bolsters skin elasticity, providing a smooth and supple appearance. It is biocompatible, supplementing the body's natural hyaluronic acid, which age has depleted. Therefore, no allergy skin tests are needed prior to receiving treatment.
An advantage of Juvederm is its pliant gel consistency characteristic, which may provide a smoother, more natural-looking appearance than some of its more rigid predecessors. Another advantage is that Juvederm provides the highest concentration of cross-linked hyaluronic acid compared to any currently available hyaluronic acid dermal filler. This causes Juvederm to have longer lasting results, and thus can maintain the outcome of the cosmetic surgery and improved appearance for six to nine months. The benefits may last even longer if you have a follow-up treatment a few weeks after the first treatment. Most importantly, Juvederm is the first FDA-approved hyaluronic acid dermal filler that has demonstrated its safety and effectiveness in persons of color.
Because Juvederm is a simple, nonsurgical injectable gel treatment, there is minimal recovery or downtime. Your healthcare professional or dermatologist will examine the soft tissue of your face to assess the depth of wrinkles and folds to determine your treatment using Juvederm.
