If you are concerned about fine lines and wrinkles on your face, call a dentist to inquire about a Juvéderm® treatment. Read on to learn about this cosmetic injectable. Many dentists administer injections of Juvéderm, which is a hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler to reverse aging effects.
The Juvéderm series of products is one of the most popular cosmetic injectables available today. They are created to remove wrinkles around the eyes and mouth, increase the cheeks' volume and increase the volume of thinning lips.
These products, also known as dermal fillers, are injected underneath the skin as part of a tailored treatment plan. The dentist will discuss treatment choices to develop the treatment plan, which will be based on individual objectives and existing skin conditions.
Like many other dermal fillers, Juvéderm stimulates collagen formation by using hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring chemical that is biocompatible. Since the skin's natural collagen synthesis reduces with age, the process helps counteract aging signs. Treatments with Juvéderm raise collagen levels and offer long-lasting, natural-looking effects.
Since each treatment session is tailored to the patient's skin and desired outcomes, each one will be somewhat different. However, they all follow a similar pattern.
Treatments are usually administered at the office and handled by a dentist. Depending on the treatment area and the desired outcomes, the treatment session might run between 15 minutes to an hour and a half. Sessions are typically under an hour long. Many of the Juvéderm compositions contain anesthetics to keep patients comfortable throughout the procedure.
The gel is injected just beneath the skin with ultrafine needles that are extremely precise and only target a limited region. Whether an anesthetic is used or not, most individuals have a pleasant experience. To facilitate a smooth and symmetrical application, the dentist will rub thicker formulations into the skin and mold it into the region.
Patients should not experience any major downtime following dermal filler treatment, unlike with more invasive procedures. Instead, they can typically resume normal activities as soon as possible. The dentist will go over any post-treatment instructions with the patient. Still, it is advisable to plan on not doing any heavy lifting or severe activity for at least a day following.
There are no definite criteria for eligibility for cosmetic injectables.
The majority of people are unaffected by injectables. However, there are times when deferring therapy is the best option. Patients who are pregnant or nursing, or have a sinus infection or other illness, should probably postpone their treatment.
Any cosmetic operation, no matter how insignificant, can be a major decision. The dentist can walk you through the treatment procedure and determine whether Juvéderm is suitable for you. To book a consultation, contact our dental office today.
