Using Juvederm To Improve Your Skin's Volume

By Melinda Croning


The damaging effects of the sun and aging cause the appearance fine lines, sags, and wrinkles in your skin, and its volume decreases. If the volume is restored to the skin, sags and wrinkles fill out, essentially turning back the clock on aged skin. While there are numerous treatments available that promise to improve the volume of skin, the FDA has approved the Juvederm treatment in Tampa, and the results of the treatment last for as long as one year. Your skin will be noticeably smoother and fuller, reducing the appearance of sags and wrinkles, with volumizing treatments for the skin.

How It Functions

Using sterile equipment in a clinical setting, a qualified clinician or doctor performs Juvederm treatments. Below the surface of the skin, the Juvederm gel is injected. The gel is injected by your doctor into areas of tissue that have lost volume. Because collagen is lost over the years and tissues break down, the gel effectively adds volume to the skin by filling it out, essentially replacing the tissues and the lost collagen. The treatment offers a boost for the facial tissues and gives tissues a smoother appearance by filling out sags, fine lines, and wrinkles. Some of the areas that can benefit the most from the gel are common problem areas, like smile lines and saggy jowls. Years can be erased from one's appearance with a filler of this type, and touchups are not needed for many months.

The procedure itself is only mildly painful, and some pain can linger for a few days after the procedure. Other filler products don't offer the same smooth texture of the Juvederm gel, which helps diminish the amount of pain that comes with the injecting process. It is possible to alleviate any pain associated with the procedure, such as the injecting of the gel, by numbing the treatment areas topically. Many find that they do not need any numbing while having the procedure performed, but it is an option available, especially to ease your comfort during a first-time procedure.

Why Choose Juvederm?

Why should you choose Juvederm, considering the number of products available to fill skin and increase the volume? You should choose this treatment for many reasons. First, the results may be seen for up to a year, it is approved by the FDA. While other fillers are known to work for a short time, none last as long as Juvederm. This means users of other treatments are heading back to their doctors for frequent touch ups while you can continue seeing the results. With Juvederm, you can enjoy a more effective approach to smile lines in particular, one that Botox might not necessarily handle as well as other spots on the face. Wrinkles that appear and disappear are different from smile lines, so it's logical that a different treatment is better at dealing with them.

A recent independent study at the University of Michigan Medical School found that dermal fillers might slow, or even reverse, the aging of skin cells.

A cross-linked hyaluronic acid filler, such as Juvederm, has been shown by researchers to enhance structural support of the skin, by producing more fibroblasts (collagen producers), stimulating fibroblasts to create collagen, increasing blood vessels and improving skin thickness. Other mechanisms of youthful skin are also improved by it.
