Juvéderm is an injection used to reduce the loss of tissue due to age. While Juvéderm XC is used to reduce the number of fine lines and wrinkles around the face, Juvéderm Voluma is a gel form that has been FDA approved for injections into the cheeks in order to plump them up and gives the face a more youth appearance without needing cheek implants.
Fine lines and wrinkles are one of the most common ways that individuals show age. These lines and wrinkles develop over time through facial expressions that are displayed on a daily basis, such as laughing and frowning. Juvéderm is approved to fill in these lines, and is most often used around the nose and mouth. While Juvéderm is a temporary solution that does not rid the face of wrinkles completely, it fills them in and provides patients with a great temporary solution. Many patients who are considering more involved cosmetic surgery procedures, such as a face lift, decide to receive Juvéderm injections instead for quick results with relatively no downtime.
Choosing the least invasive method is always a good choice for individuals who are looking to improve their appearance with surgical methods. When administered by a licensed medical professional, Juvéderm is safe and done in just a few minutes. Many patients return to work right after receiving their injections and can resume other normal activities the same day. Although there are still some risks and side effects associated with Juvéderm, they are minimal compared to side effects associated with surgery or other cosmetic procedures that seek to achieve the same results.
If you have fine lines, wrinkles, or sagging cheeks and you want to improve your appearance, it is a good idea to consult a medical professional, who will be able to tell you if Juvéderm is right for you and if it is an option that will help reduce the appearance of aging. If Juvéderm is not best for you, then your medical professional can help you to explore other available options.
