You Don’t Have To Sit Back And Let Wrinkles Happen
Thursday, April 9th, 2009There are many facial fillers available to the public, but two of the most well-known and most effective are Botox and Juvederm. Many people are bothered by the appearance of horizontal lines over the forehead, vertical lines between the eyebrows (frown lines), and crows feet around the eyes. For those who would like to improve or “erase” these lines “without” surgery there is an effective alternative treatment known as Botox. When injected into the muscles these lines and wrinkles soften. Botox works by blocking the impulses from the nerve to the facial muscles - the muscles are then relaxed. The relaxed muscles then cause the skin to flatten and the result is a smooth unwrinkled look. Botox therapy is very safe. The amounts injected for cosmetic use are so small that no ill effects are seen elsewhere. The benefit of this treatment is temporary, lasting 3-6 months, depending on the individual. If a permanent solution is desired, please ask for further information on available options.
As we age, our skin changes. Over time, the natural volume of youthful skin begins to diminish as wrinkles and folds form. But, with Juvederm injectable gel, you don’t have to just sit back and let it happen. Recently approved by the FDA, Juvederm injectable gel is a “next-generation” dermal filler. The smooth consistency gel helps to instantly restore your skin’s volume and smooth away facial wrinkles and folds, like your “smile lines” or “parentheses” (nasolabial folds - the creases that run from the bottom of your nose to the corners of your mouth).
Juvederm is a smooth consistency gel made of hyaluronic acid - a naturally occurring substance in your skin that helps to add volume and hydration. Your health care professional eases Juvederm injectable gel under the skin to provide a smooth, natural look and feel, so everyone will notice (but no one will know). In fact, studies show superior results of Juvederm compared to a collagen-based dermal filler. And, almost 90% of all study volunteers who were treated with both Juvederm injectable gel and another dermal filler* preferred Juvederm. In addition, Juvederm injectable gel is the first FDA-approved hyaluronic acid dermal filler that is proven to be safe and effective for persons of color.
With Juvederm, the injection process takes only about 15 minutes and results are immediate. Plus, there’s minimal recovery or downtime. So you can step into your doctor’s office for treatment and step right back into your life.
