Juvéderm is a collection of injectable
fillers approved by FDA (Food and Drug Administration). It is an
effective medication which can lift cheeks, smooth marionette lines
around the mouth, fill pitted acne scars, reduce wrinkles on face/hands
and plump the lips. It is made of hyaluronic acid that is a naturally occurring substance in the skin.
Juvéderm products possess smooth consistency in comparison to other hyaluronic gel products which possesses granular consistency. Hyaluronic
acid works by acting as a cushioning agent while the water is held at
the injection site. It leverages temporary volume and smoother
appearance of the skin. Some patients just need one sitting of this
treatment to lower down the effects of aging. For comfortable injection,
the products of Juvéderm XC contain local anesthetic lidocaine.
Who is a Right Candidate?
Juvéderm
is the best treatment for you if you want to eradicate the aging
effects, wrinkles, lines, recessed scars, thin lips or fullness in
cheeks. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons suggests that a
candidate who is physically healthy doesn't smoke and has realistic
goals in mind are the most appropriate candidate. If you have
hypertrophic scarring or keloid formations in your history, then this treatment is not for you.
When Does Juvéderm Results Become Apparent?
Juvéderm
treatment provides immediate results, however, initially with minor
swelling and bruising. When the product is injected, it settles in the
skin to contract the leaning parts. The redness/swelling will dissipate
within a week, and the actual results will be entirely noticeable.
Are the Effects of Juvéderm Permanent?
No, the effects of Juvéderm do not last long. It will break down naturally, and your body will reabsorb it.
Are Juvéderm Injections Painful?
You
may face some discomfort during and after the injection. It is injected
directly into the to-be-operated area with a fine needle. Some Juvéderm
products contain local anesthetic lidocaine to lessen the discomfort during the procedure.
Take care of the below points before undergoing this procedure:
- Inform your doctor if you are taking substances like aspirin, ibuprofen or naproxen because these can contradict with the treatment gel and lead to prolonged bleeding or bruising.
- Do not undergo treatments like laser, chemical peeling or any other dermal procedure after Juvéderm injections because these can lead to inflammation.
- Avoid undergoing this treatment if you are pregnant, or breastfeeding, or less than 18 years of age.
- Speak to your doctor if you have excessive scarring or pigmentation disorder.
