Folding/Deep Wrinkles
Juvéderm is commonly used to address facial wrinkles, including deep wrinkles and folds.
When it comes to fixing deep wrinkles, here's how Juvéderm typically works:
Preparation:
The treatment area is cleaned and may be numbed with a topical anesthetic to minimize discomfort during the injection process.
Injection of Juvéderm:
The Juvéderm filler is injected into the targeted areas using a fine needle. The hyaluronic acid in the filler works by attracting and binding to water molecules, providing immediate volume and filling in the wrinkles and folds.
Smooth and Natural Results:
The gel-like consistency of Juvéderm allows for smooth and natural-looking results. The healthcare professional can control the amount and depth of the injections to achieve the desired outcome.
Stimulation of Collagen:
Over time, hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvéderm can also stimulate the production of collagen in the skin. Collagen is a protein that provides structure and firmness to the skin, contributing to longer-term improvements in skin texture.
Recovery and Results:
Downtime after Juvéderm injections is typically minimal. Some temporary swelling, bruising, or redness at the injection sites may occur but usually resolves within a few days. Patients often notice immediate improvement in the treated areas, and results can last several months, depending on the specific Juvéderm product used.
