Revive your appearance with the Juvederm treatment in Katy, TX

We appreciate the beauty of youth, with the accompanying firm skin with no wrinkles. As we get older, our skin begins to lose its volume and sag. Wrinkles, folds, and creases appear, and that youthful beauty is lost. Or is it? Dr. Weaver, a Katy dermatologist, uses a dermal filler called Juvederm, also known as a liquid facelift, in his practice. Juvederm can be used to correct the creases that form downwards from your mouth called marionette lines, smile lines or parentheses, and can be used in your lip augmentation or nose jobs not requiring surgery.

Juvederm contains hyaluronic acid, a substance that is normally found in your body, so there is no need to test in advance for allergic reaction. It is used to fill the spaces between the elastin and collagen fibers in your skin. It attracts water to the area, restoring the youthful volume and smoothness of your skin and allows the results to last longer. This is different from Botox as Botox relaxes the muscle under the wrinkle to smooth it out. The Juvederm formula fills the space in the skin and the results can be seen immediately.

The procedure is very simple. Dr. Weaver will use a fine needle to inject the Juvederm gel into the area that needs to be treated. Most patients do not experience much pain or discomfort, however, just in case, the formula has been mixed with lidocaine to help with any discomfort you experience. You will see results right away, and one treatment can last up to twelve months! The actual treatment takes very little time, and patients can resume normal activities immediately. You may feel a little redness or irritation at the injection sites, but that is normal and should go away within a few days.

Many patients prefer the Juvederm treatment because it is much less invasive and costs much less than a facelift surgery. Cost for the treatment will depend on how much of what type is used.
