What is Juvederm?
Juvederm is a collection of injectable dermal fillers that use hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body, to add volume and smooth out wrinkles and folds. This FDA-approved treatment is designed to target specific areas of the face, including the nasolabial folds, and provide long-lasting, natural-looking results.
How Does Juvederm Work?
Juvederm works by replenishing the lost volume in the skin, which helps to smooth out wrinkles and folds. The hyaluronic acid in Juvederm attracts and binds with water molecules, creating a plumping effect that lifts and contours the skin.
One of the key advantages of Juvederm is that it is a smooth gel that integrates seamlessly with your skin’s natural structure. This technology also contributes to the long-lasting results, with some formulations lasting up to 18 months.
Juvederm for Smile Lines
When it comes to treating smile lines, Juvederm offers specific formulations designed to target these stubborn wrinkles. Under the guidance of a provider, Juvederm Ultra Plus and Juvederm Vollure XC are two popular options for addressing deeper folds and lines around the mouth.
During the treatment, filler is injected into the targeted areas, instantly adding volume and smoothing out the appearance of smile lines. The process is quick, minimally invasive, and requires little to no downtime.
Before & After
Juvederm vs. Neurotoxins
While Juvederm and neurotoxins like Botox are both popular anti-aging treatments, they work in different ways. Botox is a neuromodulator that temporarily paralyzes the muscles that cause wrinkles, while Juvederm adds volume to the skin, plumping it up and smoothing out wrinkles and folds.
Many patients choose to combine these treatments for a comprehensive approach to facial rejuvenation, addressing both static wrinkles (caused by volume loss) and dynamic wrinkles (caused by muscle movement).
