Wrinkles and sagging skin are common concerns as we age, revealing the years of laughter, worry, and everything in between.
Juvederm, available at For A New You, offers a promising solution to these signs of aging, leading to facial rejuvenation.
If you are considering ways to refresh your appearance, read on to see how Juvederm could be the rejuvenating solution you’re seeking.
What is Juvederm?
Juvederm is a brand of injectable fillers made with hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance that helps keep the skin soft and hydrated. Juvederm can be applied to smooth out wrinkles and lines, restore skin elasticity and firmness, add volume to facial areas, define the chin and jawline, and plump the lips.
The Juvederm line includes various products tailored to achieve different aesthetic goals. For instance, JUVÉDERM® VOLLURE® XC targets moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds and marionette lines.
On the other hand, JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC is the first FDA-approved injectable gel designed to instantly add volume to the cheek area.
Advantages of Juvederm
Juvederm stands out in the cosmetic industry for its immediate effectiveness and longevity as a wrinkle treatment.
Here’s an in-depth look at the advantages of choosing Juvederm:
- Immediate Results. Juvederm fillers begin to work right after injection, filling in wrinkles and lines for a smoother appearance. The results are visible almost immediately, giving you a refreshed look soon after your visit to the clinic.
- Long-Lasting Effects. Depending on the specific product used and the area treated, Juvederm results can last from one to two years. Its longevity is due to the hyaluronic acid in the fillers, which is slowly absorbed by the body.
- Natural Feel and Appearance. Juvederm fillers are renowned for their ability to blend seamlessly with the body’s existing tissue structure. This integration gives the skin a natural feel and appearance, unlike some other fillers that can leave the skin feeling stiff.
- Minimal Downtime. One of the significant benefits of Juvederm is that the treatment requires minimal downtime. Most patients can resume their normal activities immediately after the procedure.
- Versatility. Juvederm’s range of products can treat everything from fine lines around the lips to deep creases in the cheeks, making it a versatile option for addressing various signs of aging.
How Long Does It Take to See Results?
The effects of Juvederm are almost immediate, with most patients noticing a significant improvement in the treated areas shortly after their treatment session.
Over the following weeks, your skin will absorb the hyaluronic acid and settle, revealing the full effects of the treatment. Additionally, hyaluronic acid stimulates your skin to produce extra collagen, leading to further improvements in skin tone, hydration, and texture over several weeks.
How quickly you see results often depends on the type of filler you receive, the treatment area, and the amount of filler used.
For fine lines around the eyes, nose, or mouth, you might see results quickly, whereas augmenting hollow cheeks may require multiple sessions and up to 3-4 weeks for full results.
How Long Do Results Last?
Now, the million-dollar question: How long do you get to enjoy the effects of your Juvederm treatment? The answer to this one also varies.
Generally speaking, the duration of Juvederm fillers varies between 6 and 18 months, depending on the specific type used. For instance, Juvederm Ultra Plus and Juvederm Ultra typically last up to a year, while Juvederm Voluma can last up to two years.
Several factors influence how long Juvederm lasts, including:
- The specific product
- The treatment area
- The amount injected
- Skin anatomy and biology
How to Prolong Your Juvederm Results
Since Juvederm gradually breaks down in the body, many patients opt to schedule their next session about halfway through the expected duration. For example, Juvederm Ultra XC may need reapplication every 6-9 months, and Juvederm Voluma may require yearly treatments.
To maintain optimal results, it is advisable to schedule treatments every one to two years.
You can also help prolong your results by adopting healthy lifestyle habits, including eating nutritious foods, staying hydrated, limiting alcohol intake, using sunscreen, and avoiding smoking.
Who Are the Ideal Candidates?
Ideal candidates for Juvederm treatments are individuals looking to address moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds, or those seeking to enhance volume in areas like the lips or cheeks.
Suitable candidates are generally those who are in good health, have realistic expectations about the outcomes of the injections, and are looking for a non-surgical solution to reduce signs of aging.
People with a history of severe allergic reactions, particularly to bacterial proteins or lidocaine, or those with active skin infections near the treatment area, may not be suitable for Juvederm.
