Juvederm

As you age, the skin naturally loses collagen and slows hyaluronic acid production, especially if you have spent considerable time in the sun over the years. This results in wrinkles, fine lines, and folds as the skin loses its youthful volume. Preventative care is important to maintain youthful skin. If your skin is already showing signs of aging, Juvéderm is a great solution. Injectable fillers like Juvéderm can help restore a youthful look. In addition to signs of aging, these injectables are also useful for non-surgically augmenting areas such as the lips.

What is Juvéderm?

Juvéderm is one of the most common facial injection procedures performed in the United States. Juvéderm is a hyaluronic acid filler used to improve signs of aging or augment areas of the face non-surgically. Juvéderm is formulated with hyaluronic acid to leave your skin hydrated from the inside out. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance found within the skin that creates a hydrated, firm, and youthful appearance, giving the skin volume and contouring your features.

Benefits of Juvederm

When you have Juvederm at Falcon Plastic Surgery, you can look forward to a wide array of benefits, including natural-looking results, quick treatment time, and very minimal downtime. The injectable dermal fillers will also fill in lines and wrinkles and address volume loss for a more youthful appearance. Depending on the type of Juvederm used, you can expect results to last for up to a year or more. It’s also minimally-invasive, ensuring you don’t have to go under the knife to see significant results.

What Can I Expect After Juvéderm?

Juvéderm injections require no downtime, so you can return to work, school, or other normal routines immediately after your appointment if you choose. Some redness and swelling at the injection site are both normal. Avoid putting pressure on the area, and Dr. Falcon will advise you to avoid exercise or other strenuous activity for about 24 hours after receiving injections to prevent bleeding or bruising.

Juvéderm results are immediately noticeable after the treatment, despite some swelling that should dissipate quickly. Your results will not be permanent because the body naturally and safely breaks down the hyaluronic acid over time. For most patients, Juvéderm results last for between six months and two years, depending on the specific type of Juvéderm used, their metabolism, the injection site, and other factors. You can receive maintenance injections as needed to keep up your results if you choose.

Juvederm FAQs

How can I make Juvederm last longer?

To make Juvederm last longer, there are several strategies you can follow to extend the life of your dermal fillers. First, maintaining a healthy skincare routine is essential. This includes using a gentle cleanser, a good quality moisturizer, and daily sunscreen to protect your skin from harmful UV rays, which can break down the hyaluronic acid in fillers. Staying hydrated is also key, as Juvederm works by attracting water molecules, adding volume and plumpness to the skin. Drinking plenty of water helps maximize its effects.

In general, when properly administered, Juvederm can offer subtle enhancements that enhance facial aesthetics without appearing artificial or overdone.
