Filler - Juvederm
Juvederm is a dermal filler made of hyaluronic acid (HA) that is used to add volume to the skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. It is a non-surgical treatment that can be performed in a doctor's office, and the results are immediate.
Juvederm is a popular choice among patients due to its ability to provide natural-looking results. The hyaluronic acid in Juvederm is a substance that occurs naturally in the body and helps to keep the skin hydrated and plump. This means that the results of treatment look very natural and not "overdone."
Juvederm can be used to treat a wide range of concerns, including:
--Filling in wrinkles and fine lines, such as those around the nose and mouth (nasolabial folds and marionette lines)
--Plumping up thin lips
--Enhancing cheeks and cheekbones
--Improving the appearance of recessed scars
--Softening the appearance of a square jawline
Juvederm is often compared to other dermal fillers such as Botox, Restylane and Dysport. Botox is a neuromodulator that works by temporarily paralyzing the muscles that cause wrinkles and fine lines. It is most commonly used to treat wrinkles and fine lines on the forehead and around the eyes (crows feet).
Restylane is also a hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler that is used to add volume to the skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. It is similar to Juvederm in many ways, but it is available in a variety of formulations that are designed to treat specific concerns such as fine lines and wrinkles, or to add volume to the cheeks, lips and other areas.
Dysport is a neuromodulator that is similar to Botox. It works by temporarily paralyzing the muscles that cause wrinkles and fine lines. Dysport is most commonly used to treat wrinkles and fine lines on the forehead and around the eyes (crows feet).
Ultimately, the best dermal filler for a patient will depend on their individual concerns and goals. A consultation with a licensed and qualified injector is recommended to determine the best treatment plan.
