Improving Your Skin's Volume With Juvederm

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. The FDA has approved the Juvederm treatment in Tampa, and although there are numerous treatments available that promise to improve the volume of skin, the results of this treatment last up to 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 Functions

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. Areas of tissue that have been affected by volume loss are where your doctor injects gel. 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. 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. The treatment lasts for many months without the need for touchups, a filler of this type can erase years from one's appearance.

The procedure itself is only mildly painful, and some pain can linger for a few days after the procedure. The smooth consistency of the gel helps reduce how much pain there is during the injection, unlike other filler products without the same even 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. This is an option available, especially to ease your comfort during a first-time procedure, although many find that they do not need any numbing while having the procedure performed.

Why Choose Juvederm?

There are many products on the market that increase the volume and fill skin, so why is Juvederm the best choice? There are numerous reasons why this treatment should be your top choice. One, the treatment is approved by the FDA, who indicates that the results can last almost one year. 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. Wrinkles that appear and disappear are different from smile lines, so it's logical that a different treatment is better at dealing with 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.
