Juvederm Filler – Cost, Results, Risks, and Side Effects

Posted on April 24, 2016 by adminmms

Juvederm is one of the most popular, FDA approved dermal filler injections designed to reduce the aging signs from the face. Juvederm medspa treatment is ideally suited for people who want to get rid of mild to moderate wrinkles, folds and fine lines, but without involving any surgery.
Motykie Medical Spa, led by board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Gary Motykie, is a premier facility for advanced injectable treatments such as Juvederm. The medical spa provides Juvederm filler to patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and surrounding locations.

Hyaluronic Acid Based Filler

The key component of Juvederm is hyaluronic acid, which is natural sugar compound that supports the elasticity and volume of the skin in the human body. Hyaluronic acid is vital to the delivery and retention of nutrients and moisture in the skin. With the progression of age, the levels of this compound decrease in the body.
Juvederm facial filler gel is created using a cutting edge manufacturing process. The gel is specially formulated in a malleable and smooth form to provide very natural looking anti-aging outcomes for the face. This medspa procedure does not require any prior allergy tests because hyaluronic acid is completely biocompatible.

Candidacy

Individuals who want to soften the impact of aging lines on the face or augment the lips without involving surgery may choose Juvederm cosmetic filler injections. Juvederm is well-suited for any area of the face, such as creases and fine lines around the nose, mouth, and forehead.
It is appropriate for people who want to enhance facial contours or even improve the appearance of acne scars. Pregnant or nursing women should avoid Juvederm filler treatment. Dr. Motykie’s medical spa receives patients from Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and nearby areas for Juvederm.

Procedure

Juvederm is available at the medical spa in sterile, ready to use syringes. The consistency of Juvederm gel is particularly good, which makes it more comfortable to receive the injections. The provider can use thinner needles and apply less pressure during the injections.
The provider will numb the local area with a topical anesthetic cream prior to administering Juvederm injections. The gel is injected into the mid to deep dermis, depending on the degree of correction needed. The treatment session typically lasts for about 30 minutes.

How does it Work?

Juvederm is composed of cross linked hyaluronic acid particles suspended in a smooth gel. This gel is injected directly into the wrinkles, fine lines, furrows, or hollowed areas of the face. This instantly adds volume to the face, reducing wrinkles and lines gradually. Over time, Juvederm replenishes the hyaluronic acid, enabling the patient to achieve more natural looking and sustainable youthful appearance.

Recovery

For a few days after the Juvederm procedure, the patient should avoid touching or massaging the treated area. Sun, heat, and cold exposure to the treated area should also be avoided for about two weeks. No specific downtime is involved with Juvederm. Results will last on average for about six months to a year.
