Improving Your Skin's Volume With Juvederm

By Melinda Croning


As a result of aging and the damaging effects of the sun, the volume of the skin decreases, and fine lines, sags, and wrinkles begin to appear. You can turn back the clock on aged skin by restoring its volume, and filling out the sags and wrinkles. While there are numerous treatments available that promise to improve the volume of skin, the FDA has approved the Juvederm treatment in Tampa, and the results of the treatment last for as long as one year. With volumizing treatments for the skin, your skin will be noticeably smoother and fuller, reducing the appearance of sags and wrinkles.

How Does It Work?

A qualified clinician or doctor, using sterile equipment, performs Juvederm treatments in a clinical setting. The Juvederm gel is injected underneath the skin's surface. Your doctor injects gel in the areas of tissue that have been affected by volume loss. Because collagen is lost over the years and tissues break down, the gel effectively adds volume to the skin by filling it out, essentially replacing the tissues and the lost collagen. 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. The treatment lasts for many months without the need for touchups, a filler of this type can erase years from one's appearance.

There is only mild pain during the actual procedure, and after the procedure some pain can linger for just a few days. Other filler products don't offer the same smooth texture of the Juvederm gel, which helps diminish the amount of pain that comes with the injecting process. It is possible to alleviate any pain associated with the procedure, such as the injecting of the gel, by numbing the treatment areas topically. 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. For one, the FDA has approved the treatment, indicating that the results may be seen for up to a year. Juvederm's effects last longer than other fillers, which are known to work for a short time. This means users of other treatments are heading back to their doctors for frequent touch ups while you can continue seeing the results. 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. Wrinkles that appear and disappear are different from smile lines, so it's logical that a different treatment is better at dealing with them.

A recent independent study at the University of Michigan Medical School found that dermal fillers might slow, or even reverse, the aging of skin cells.

A cross-linked hyaluronic acid filler, such as Juvederm, has been shown by researchers to enhance structural support of the skin, by producing more fibroblasts (collagen producers), stimulating fibroblasts to create collagen, increasing blood vessels and improving skin thickness. It also helped to improve other aspects of young-looking skin.
