A new and effective way to rejuvenate and freshen the texture of the skin is now available. A very fine light HA filler from the Juvéderm® family has been combined with a potent antioxidant and is injected with a tiny needle into the very superficial layers of the skin. As the hyaluronon in the Juvéderm® absorbs and holds water it subtly “plumps” and smoothes the overlying skin texture- imagine it as injecting moisturizer into the skin instead of just applying it to the surface. The Juvéderm® Skin Rejuvenation is a course of 3 treatments over 6 weeks. To maintain the result regular maintenance treatments are recommended.
Where did those facial folds and wrinkles come from?
We all know time can take its toll on our skin. Repeated expressions can cause wrinkles. Initially, these wrinkles will only be seen when the muscles contract like when you smile or frown, and are referred to as dynamic wrinkles. As time goes by your skin gets progressively creased, so they can even be seen when your face is at rest. These are referred to as static wrinkles. As you age, your skin also loses volume and elasticity. In addition, there may be a depletion of fat around the eyes, cheeks and forehead. This process occurs because natural substances such as collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid that provide the skin with structure and volume decrease with age. This, together with environmental factors such as exposure to sunlight, smoking and stress contribute to the creation of wrinkles and folds. Individuals differ but generally facial ageing over the years becomes evident in the areas shown below.
How does new Juvéderm® smooth out wrinkles?
You may be familiar with injections that treat dynamic wrinkles by relaxing the muscles responsible for wrinkle causing facial expressions. Juvéderm
® is a different sort of treatment. It is a dermal filler that comes as a smooth injectable gel and is placed below the skin’s surface to literally ‘fill in’ or ‘plump up’ static facial wrinkles and folds that are present at rest, creating a natural and more refreshed facial appearance. It is available as Juvéderm
® Ultra for subtle correction of facial lines and Juvéderm
® Ultra Plus for correction of more severe facial lines and folds.
