When it comes to nonsurgical cosmetic treatments, especially those involving injectable fillers, your satisfaction with the results may come down to something as simple as the quality of the products used. If your plastic surgeon has a wide range of brand name dermal fillers, determining which of these products will give you the best results can be an overwhelming feat. Of course, your plastic surgeon will make recommendations for the products that may best suit you and what benefits they can offer. Before your appointment, however, educate yourself on the top-ranked dermal filler brand, Juvederm, and see what makes it stand out from the crowd.
What Are Dermal Fillers?
Of course, it is important to understand what dermal fillers are and what they are used for. If you’re unfamiliar with injectable filler procedures, these are performed as a nonsurgical treatment to add volume to specific areas of the face. Delivered through an injection directly into the target area, dermal fillers are comprised of biocompatible materials that stay beneath the skin until the body can break them down. Injectable treatments are temporary, usually lasting from as little as four months to as long as a year, depending on the product used. Dermal fillers are primarily used as an anti-aging tool as the added volume gives the skin a smoother appearance and diminishes the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles. This procedure can be performed nearly anywhere on the face, such as the cheeks, the chin, between the eyebrows, on the outside corners of the eyes, and in the area between the mouth and nose. In some cases, dermal fillers are also used to plump the lips and cheeks to restore depleted volume and add contour to the face.
What Is Juvederm?
The top-selling product Juvederm is just one variety of dermal filler that is safe to use in these procedures. This FDA-approved filler has the consistency of a smooth gel and is comprised of hyaluronic acid, which naturally occurs in the human body. It is available in both Juvederm Ultra and Juvederm Ultra Plus varieties, each with its own specific usages. Juvederm Ultra is often chosen to erase lighter wrinkles from the face, even delicate areas like the outer eye. Juvederm Ultra Plus is designed to help diminish more severe wrinkles. It has a thicker consistency than Juvederm Ultra so it can be used for plumping the lips and cheeks as well.
The newly FDA-approved Juvederm Voluma XC offers Juvederm aficionados yet another option for treatment. This recently FDA-approved filler is the first and only filler of its kind designed to address volume loss in the cheeks. Voluma can restore a smoother, more youthful look by improving a flat or sagging appearance in the cheeks.
In the world of dermal fillers, Juvederm has long stood out as a popular option recommended by plastic surgeons and raved about by patients. What makes this brand so good? What are the amazing benefits to using it yourself? There are many to consider if you’re considering a dermal filler procedure.
Juvederm Is Smooth & Natural
First of all, Juvederm delivers natural-looking results time and time again, thanks to the smooth gel texture. Where granular gels might not, Juvederm can provide patients with smoother, plumper cheeks that don’t look artificial. The consistency of this filler can create authentic contours and definition to the face, while seamlessly ironing out fine lines and creases to a minimum. The idea behind Juvederm is that no one will be able to tell that you’ve had injections but everyone will notice your more youthful-looking face and the beautiful results.
Juvederm Lasts Longer
Not all dermal fillers are the same; Juvederm is one of the few with long-lasting results. In fact, Juvederm is the only dermal filler that is FDA-approved to last up to one year. The manufacturing techniques used to make Juvederm provide the product with high levels of hyaluronic acid, which gives it such long-lasting results. With other products are only able to give patients four to six months of added volume and youthful looks, Juvederm doubles that time to save you money and time on subsequent clinical visits.
Juvederm Is Revolutionary & Non-Allergenic
Sometimes called a “next-generation” dermal filler, Juvederm is made up of a non-animal-based hyaluronic acid. This substance is found in the human body naturally so it eliminates potential allergic reactions or other complications. While other fillers use hyaluronic acid, those that derive it from animal sources also carry the slight risk that a patient with animal-related allergies might not be able to process it without reacting. The advances made for Juvederm products make injectable treatments accessible to everyone. In fact, using Juvederm eliminates the need for an allergy scratch-test before your injection.
Juvederm Actually Helps the Skin
In the body, hyaluronic acid works to add moisture to the skin. As we age, the body’s stores of this compound deplete and, as a result, the skin can become dehydrated and appear dry, limp, and dull. Juvederm treatments inject hyaluronic acid directly into the area of concern. Though plumping might be your primary interest, while the hyaluronic acid sits beneath the skin to provide the look you want, it is also working to replenish the body’s stores once more. This can help your skin to increase the production of elastin and even help to restore your natural glow. Juvederm can make the skin healthier just by being present. Some early research also shows that repeated treatments and exposure to the hyaluronic acid in Juvederm can help improve your skin’s function and form, meaning the benefits will last far longer than the injection itself.
Juvederm Is Proven Effective
One of the big reasons that Juvederm remains a top recommendation of plastic surgeons across the United States is its consistent results. Patients treated with Juvederm enjoy their natural-looking results, wherever they have been treated. This product provides doctors and patients alike with an option that is low-risk, high in reward, and longer-lasting. To determine if this is the right type of dermal filler for your skin and your specific concerns, consult with a plastic surgeon for his expert recommendations. Now, you’ll definitely be prepared if he mentions Juvederm as a top treatment option.
