FineTouch Dermatology: Juvederm
Juvederm injectable gel is the next generation hyaluronic acid dermal filler that provides volume and is used to treat wrinkles and folds resulting from a loss of volume beneath the surface of the skin. Juvederm is natural, biodegradable and currently the only approved hyaluronic acid dermal filler there is that has demonstrated its safety and effectiveness in patients of all skin types and colors. Studies of Juvederm have shown that there is no increased risk of hyperpigmentation or hypertrophic scarring in patients of color. Juvederm also is the only hyaluronic acid dermal filler developed using a proprietary, technologically advanced manufacturing process that results in a malleable smooth gel that flows easily into the skin, creating a smooth, natural look and feel. All other currently approved hyaluronic acid dermal fillers utilize a gel particle suspension formulation. Hyaluronic acid is found naturally in the body, and the smooth consistency gel helps to instantly restore your skin's volume and smooth away facial wrinkles and folds, like your "smile lines" (nasolabial folds—the creases that run from the bottom of your nose to the corners of your mouth).
Juvederm offers the highest concentration of cross-linked hyaluronic acid available in a dermal filler, which results in a longer duration for its effect and thus does not require the majority of patients to have touch-ups following their initial treatment. The smooth consistency of the Juvederm formula also may help to minimize the discomfort that can sometimes occur during the injection procedure.
Juvederm injectable gel will help to smooth moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds. Most patients need one treatment to achieve optimal wrinkle smoothing, and the results last about 6 months.
