Using Juvederm To Improve Your Skin's Volume

By Melinda Croning


The volume of the skin decreases, and fine lines, sags, and wrinkles begin to appear as a result of aging and the damaging effects of the sun. If the volume is restored to the skin, sags and wrinkles fill out, essentially turning back the clock on aged skin. The FDA has approved the Juvederm treatment in Tampa, and although there are numerous treatments available that promise to improve the volume of skin, the results of this treatment last up to one year. The appearance of sags and wrinkles will be reduced, and your skin will be noticeably smoother and fuller after a volumizing treatment.

How It Works

Juvederm treatments are performed in a clinical setting by a qualified clinician or doctor using sterile equipment. Juvederm is a gel that is injected below the surface of the skin. Your doctor injects gel in the areas of tissue that have been affected by volume loss. Over the years collagen is lost and tissues break down, so the gel essentially replaces these, and by filling out the skin it adds volume. The treatment offers a boost for the facial tissues and gives tissues a smoother appearance by filling out sags, fine lines, and wrinkles. Some of the areas that can benefit the most from the gel are common problem areas, like smile lines and saggy jowls. Years can be erased from one's appearance with a filler of this type, and touchups are not needed for many months.

The procedure itself is only mildly painful, and some pain can linger for a few days after the procedure. The gel is very smooth in consistency, which helps diminish the amount of pain that comes with the injecting process, as opposed to other filler products that don't offer that same, smooth texture. The treatment areas can be numbed topically to alleviate any pain associated with the procedure, such as the injecting of the gel. This is an option available, especially to ease your comfort during a first-time procedure, although many find that they do not need any numbing while having the procedure performed.

Why Choose Juvederm?

With the number of products available to fill skin and increase the volume, why should you choose Juvederm? This treatment should be your top choice for numerous reasons. One, the treatment is approved by the FDA, who indicates that the results can last almost one year. While other fillers are known to work for a short time, none last as long as Juvederm. You keep seeing your results, unlike those people who have had different products and have to return for touch ups regularly. You can enjoy a more effective approach to smile lines in particular with Juvederm, not to mention other areas on the face that Botox might not necessarily handle so well. It makes sense that a different sort of medication would be more ideal in taking care of smile lines, because they are different than wrinkles that appear and disappear.

The University of Michigan Medical School published a study recently showing that dermal fillers could delay, or even reverse, skin cells' aging.

Research showed that a cross-linked hyaluronic acid filler, such as Juvederm, enhances structural support of the skin with stimulated fibroblasts to create collagen, increase blood vessels, produce more fibroblasts (collagen producers) and improve skin thickness. It also helped to improve other aspects of young-looking skin.
