Find Out How Juvederm Can Treat Aging Skin
Dermaworks™ Medical Aesthetics Clinic offers a variety of dermal filler products in the Ottawa area, providing you the ability to select the most appropriate solution for you to combat the visible signs of aging.
Juvederm
One of the most popular dermal fillers currently in the industry today is Juvederm. Much like the other dermal fillers we offer at our clinic, it is a smooth and clear gel based on hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring sugar in the human body that is vital in maintaining the smooth and supple qualities of healthy skin. Because it is biocompatible, no allergy test is required prior to treatment.
Research has shown that it is safe for all skin tones. As a matter of fact, according to Allergan, Juvederm, “…is the first hyaluronic acid dermal filler that is proven to be safe and effective for persons of colour.”
The procedure takes about half an hour and there is little or no downtime afterward, although side effects related to injections, such as swelling and discomfort, may occur. When injected, the dermal filler plumps up the skin by replenishing depleting levels of hyaluronic acid. Achieving instant and temporary results, this biodegradable product breaks down over a few months, gradually and harmlessly. Results may last up to one year, however it really depends on the individual and their situation.
Its uniquely smooth consistency has been designed to achieve instant and long-lasting results that appear natural. As a result, dermal filler treatments using Juvederm and many other hyaluronic acid based products have become one of the most popular methods of skin rejuvenation in the medical aesthetics field.
What It Can Help With
Juvederm is ideal to treat wrinkles, lines and creases that remain even when the face is not moving. It can target the area around the mouth and nose, around the outer corners of the eyes, and the cheeks.
With its ability to boost volume, Juvederm is also used to augment facial features, most notably the lips and cheeks.
