The damaging effects of the sun and aging cause the appearance fine lines, sags, and wrinkles in your skin, and its volume decreases. You can turn back the clock on aged skin by restoring its volume, and filling out the sags and wrinkles. The results of the Juvederm treatment last up to one year, and although there are numerous treatments available that promise to improve the volume of skin, the FDA has approved the Juvederm treatment in Tampa. Your skin will be noticeably smoother and fuller, reducing the appearance of sags and wrinkles, with volumizing treatments for the skin.

How It Functions

Using sterile equipment in a clinical setting, a qualified clinician or doctor performs Juvederm treatments. Below the surface of the skin, the Juvederm gel is injected. The gel is injected by your doctor into areas of tissue that have lost volume. The gel effectively adds volume to the skin by filling it out, essentially replacing the tissues and the collagen that are lost over the years when tissues break down. Tissues get a smoother appearance because the treatment boosts the facial tissues and fills out wrinkles, sags, and fine lines. 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.

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. A topical numbing of the treatment areas can help alleviate any pain related to the gel injection procedure. Many find that they do not need any numbing while having the procedure performed, but it is an option available, especially to ease your comfort during a first-time procedure.

Why Choose Juvederm?

Why should you choose Juvederm, considering the number of products available to fill skin and increase the volume? You should choose this treatment for many 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 that you can continue seeing the results while users of other treatments are heading back to their doctors for frequent touch ups. With Juvederm, you can enjoy a more effective approach to smile lines in particular, one that Botox might not necessarily handle as well as other spots on the face. Because smile lines are different than wrinkles that appear and disappear, it makes sense that a different sort of medication would be more ideal in taking care of them.

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

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. Other mechanisms of youthful skin are also improved by it.
