Juvederm Injections in Hollywood, Florida
The following information is for your benefit. Here you will find answers to many of the questions that patients ask about Juvederm™ injections:
WHY SHOULD I HAVE JUVEDERM INJECTIONS?
As we age, our skin changes. Over time, the natural volume of youthful skin begins to diminish as wrinkles and folds form. But, with Juvederm injectable gel, you don’t have to just sit back and let it happen! Juvederm provides a smooth, natural look and feel—so everyone will notice (but no one will know)! Plus, Juvederm injectable gel is the first FDA-approved hyaluronic acid dermal filler that is proven to be safe and effective for persons of color.
HOW DOES JUVEDERM WORK?
Juvederm is a smooth consistency gel made of hyaluronic acid—a naturally occurring substance in your skin that helps to add volume and hydration. Your doctor eases Juvederm injectable gel under the skin to instantly restore your skin’s volume and smooth away facial wrinkles and folds, like your “smile lines” or “parentheses” (nasolabial folds—the creases that run from the bottom of your nose to the corners of your mouth).
HOW LONG DOES JUVEDERM LAST?
You should see an immediate improvement in the treatment areas. Most patients need only one treatment to achieve optimal wrinkle smoothing. And one treatment could smooth your lines and wrinkles for up to 1 year! Juvederm is the only hyaluronic acid filler that is FDA approved to last up to one year.
HOW IS JUVEDERM USED?
With Juvederm the injection process takes only about 15 minutes and results are immediate. Plus, there’s minimal recovery or downtime. Although anesthesia is not required, your doctor may use topical or injectable anesthesia to numb the treatment area first.
