Juvéderm®

Say goodbye to fine lines and facial wrinkles with Juvéderm®, an effective dermal filler that has been on the market since 2006. This hyaluronic acid-based filler effectively plumps lines from the inside out, using a natural substance made by the human body. The result is a smoother, more supple complexion that takes years off the appearance.

What can Juvéderm® Treat?

Juvéderm® comes in different formulas to allow for customization of treatment to the patient’s specific needs. Juvéderm® Ultra is commonly used to minimize the appearance of nasolabial folds (lines between the corners of the nose and the mouth). Juvéderm® Ultra Plus is a more potent formula used to address deeper lines. The results of the latter formula may also last somewhat longer. Juvéderm® can also be used to add fullness to the lips, and may be recommended for plumping out hollowed cheeks.

How does it Work?

Juvéderm® is considered a non-invasive cosmetic treatment, which means no anesthesia is required prior to the procedure. In some cases, a topical anesthetic may be applied if the patient is concerned about the level of comfort during treatment. The skin is cleansed and marked to ensure injections are placed in the precise locations to produce the best possible results.

Injections are done using a very fine needle placed just below the outer surface of the skin. The solution works by adding volume to the underlying layers of skin, which softens facial wrinkles on the surface. Treatment time varies, depending on the number of injections required to produce the desired results.

Recovery and Results

Patients typically return home and to normal activities immediately after a Juvéderm® treatment. Any mild pain or swelling can be effectively managed with ice packs and over-the-counter pain relievers. Results are usually seen right away and may last six to 12 months. The procedure is not considered a permanent anti-aging solution, and treatment sessions will need to be repeated to maintain desired results.

Restylane®

Restylane® is an injectable treatment that can shave years off the appearance. The non-invasive procedure is performed in a physician’s office and it typically takes less than 30 minutes to complete. There is no recovery time and patients typically return to regular activities right after the procedure.

Restylane® is a natural hyaluronic acid-based solution that is used to plump and smooth wrinkles from the inside out. Hyaluronic acid is a natural sugar compound produced by the body that gives skin its soft, supple texture. Because the body produces less hyaluronic acid as it ages, it can result in sagging skin and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Restylane® replaces the hyaluronic acid the body loses in key areas to add volume and minimize the effects of the aging process.

What can Restylane® Treat?

Restylane® can be used on any lines of the face, but is particularly effective on nasolabial folds, the lines that appear from the corners of the nose to the mouth. Some physicians will also use the formula to minimize fine lines around the eyes or to add volume to the lips. The procedure may be performed alone or in combination with other cosmetic procedures like Botox® to achieve results that are even more dramatic.

How does it Work?

Before the injections are administered, the skin will be cleansed and marked to ensure the precision of the procedure. In some cases, a topical anesthetic may also be applied to enhance patient comfort during the procedure. The physician will then administer the injections, using a very fine needle placed just below the surface of the skin.

The amount of the formula used will depend on the depth of the folds to be treated. The procedure may take anywhere from a few minutes to one-half hour to complete, depending on the number of areas to be addressed.

Recovery and Results

The patient is allowed to return home and to regular activities right after the procedure. Minor discomfort and swelling may persist for a day or two, and it can usually be managed effectively with over-the-counter pain medication and ice packs. Results from Restylane® are seen right away, while full results are generally evident within one week. Results typically last around six months, and then the procedure will need to be repeated to maintain positive results.
