Improving Your Skin's Volume With Juvederm

By Melinda Croning


The volume of the skin decreases, and fine lines, sags, and wrinkles begin to appear as a result of aging and the damaging effects of the sun. By restoring volume to your skin, and filling out the sags and wrinkles, you turn back time on the look of your skin. 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 It Works

A qualified clinician or doctor, using sterile equipment, performs Juvederm treatments in a clinical setting. 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. 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. By filling out sags, fine lines, and wrinkles, the treatment offers a boost for the facial tissues and gives tissues a smoother appearance. Common problem areas, like smile lines and saggy jowls, are some of the areas that can benefit the most from the gel. A filler of this type can erase years from one's appearance, and the treatment lasts for many months without the need for touchups.

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. The treatment areas can be numbed topically to alleviate any pain associated with the procedure, such as the injecting of the gel. 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?

There are many products on the market that increase the volume and fill skin, so why is Juvederm the best choice? This treatment should be your top choice for numerous reasons. One, the treatment is approved by the FDA, who indicates that the results can last almost one year. While other fillers are known to work for a short time, none last as long as Juvederm. You keep seeing your results, unlike those people who have had different products and have to return for touch ups regularly. 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.

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.

Researchers found that enhancing structural support of the skin with a cross-linked hyaluronic acid filler, such as Juvederm, stimulated fibroblasts to produce collagen, activated production of more fibroblasts (collagen producers), increased blood vessels and improved skin thickness. It also helped to improve other aspects of young-looking skin.
