Age Gracefully With Juvederm

Several different factors can cause facial skin damage and skin aging. And aging gracefully is a goal of millions of people.

Sun exposure is one of the most common causes of damage to the skin, as ultraviolet (UV) rays degenerate collagen and elastin, two proteins that keep the skin firm and elastic.

Smoking is another contributor to skin damage, as the chemicals in tobacco smoke accelerate the aging process and lead to wrinkles.

Exposure to toxins and pollutants can also damage the skin, as these substances can clog pores and lead to inflammation.

These factors can lead to wrinkles, fine lines, and dull skin appearance. While we can’t stop time, there are steps you can take to combat these imperfections.

 

Dermal Fillers Help Reduce Lines

Fine facial lines are a common complaint. Dermal fillers get injected just under the skin surface to add volume and minimize wrinkles. Juvederm is a popular dermal filler that helps people achieve a more youthful appearance by reducing fine lines around the mouth, eyes, brow, and forehead.

Dermal fillers like Juvederm are like a gel and get injected just beneath the skin surface to improve volume, minimize wrinkles, and lessen creases. Since this treatment requires minimal downtime and recovery, people prefer it over other cosmetic procedures that achieve the same goal.

 

How Does Juvederm Work?

So, what is Juvederm? Juvederm is a leading dermal filler made from hyaluronic acid, a substance that naturally occurs in the body. Hyaluronic acid helps keep the skin hydrated and plump, so it’s an excellent choice for people who wish to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines significantly or plump up their lips.

Juvederm is injected into the skin using a fine needle. The injection process takes just a few minutes, and there is no need for anesthesia. Patients may experience mild bruising or swelling at the injection site, but this should clear up within a few days.

The results of Juvederm can last for up to six months, and touch-ups can help to extend the effectiveness.

Many people also opt to make lifestyle changes to help support their anti-aging campaign.

Making positive changes like quitting smoking, improving indoor air quality, eating a nutritious diet, drinking enough water, getting rest, limiting sun exposure, and reducing stress help support healthier skin.
