Juvederm For Improving Your Skin's Volume

By Melinda Croning


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. 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. The appearance of sags and wrinkles will be reduced, and your skin will be noticeably smoother and fuller after a volumizing treatment.

How Does It Work?

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. 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. A filler of this type can erase years from one's appearance, and the treatment lasts for many months without the need for touchups.

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. It is possible to alleviate any pain associated with the procedure, such as the injecting of the gel, by numbing the treatment areas topically. 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?

With the number of products available to fill skin and increase the volume, why should you choose Juvederm? You should choose this treatment for many reasons. First, the results may be seen for up to a year, it is approved by the FDA. No other fillers are known to last as long as Juvederm does. This means users of other treatments are heading back to their doctors for frequent touch ups while you can continue seeing the results. Botox might not necessarily handle smile lines,and other areas, as well as Juvederm does. 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.

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.

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 improved other mechanisms of youthful skin.
