Juvederm is a hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler that is used to smooth out wrinkles in the cheeks, lips, and around the nose and mouth. While many people think of Juvederm as a non-surgical alternative to lip injections, it can also be used to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles by replenishing lost facial volume. Here’s a closer look at how it can help with various aspects of your face:
-
Rejuvenation of the Lower Face
Many people find this procedure to be useful for lower face rejuvenation, as the area around your mouth and lips tends to sag as you get older, resulting in unsightly smile lines.
-
Area of the Cheeks
Many people utilize this therapy to give volume to their face as a non-surgical alternative to shaping and contouring their cheeks, which can become hollow and indistinct as they age.
-
Area of the Nose
You can also benefit from this procedure if you are unhappy with the form of your nose but do not want to undergo plastic surgery. Juvederm injections might help you achieve the look you want for your nose. You can utilize it to alter a flat bridge, prominent tip, hump, or the size of your nostrils, for example.
What Is the Process?
By boosting your body’s natural hyaluronic acid production, this therapy provides volume to your facial tissue. This is a sugar that can be found in your skin and cartilage. When mixed with water, it forms a gel-like substance that swells and smoothes the skin. Fillers that inject hyaluronic acid into your body have been chemically engineered to break down more slowly, giving you longer-lasting benefits.
Understanding Juvederm’s Different Types of Products
Different concentrations and bondings of hyaluronic acid are used in different products under this brand to tackle different skin types and concerns. The one you utilize in your treatment will be determined by what you want to achieve and how long you want to achieve it.
