Anti Aging Cosmetic Surgery with Juvederm
Anti Aging Cosmetic Procedures - Juvederm
Another option for you to consider in regards to anti aging cosmetic surgery is the product Juvederm. A friend I know just had a Juvederm procedure for her nasal labial folds which softens the smile lines that run from the side of your nose to just below your mouth. She looked younger, like she had had a restful vacation full of sun, fun and total rest and relaxation. She had the Juvederm procedure done on a Friday afternoon and was back at work on Monday. It softened her whole look. This is her new beauty secret, told only to me. The anti-aging procedure cost her $500. She told me that the doctor told her that it should last her for 7 months to one year.
Juvederm is a cosmetic surgery procedure which can be used in the frown lines, the smile lines, the vertical lip lines, for crow’s feet, cheek volume, lip volume, lines around the mouth and for chin and jaw volume. It adds volume to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, lips and thinning skin, all results of hormonal changes, sun exposure, aging and the decline of collagen in our bodies. We already know that as we age, collagen and the hyaluronic acid in our bodies decreases and it is possible to replace these with supplements. Cosmetic surgery fillers such as Juvederm, Botox, and Restylane, to name a few, can also help with this problem. It is known that Hyaluronic acid cosmetic injections can also help with stimulating collagen production.
Juvederm is a patented technology called HYLACROSS that produces a smooth and consistent, replenishing injectable gel. This technology produces very natural results. It is also the first HA gel to demonstrate its effectiveness for all skin tones and its safety. It consists of hyaluronic acid which is a natural occurring sugar in your body.

What to expect at your doctor’s office? Well, to begin with, there is no downtime which is important for the busy woman. The doctor will give you either a topical or injectable anesthesia to numb any possible pain to the area to be treated. The Juvederm is eased under the skin where the wrinkles or folds need to be filled. It’s that simple. You should avoid any strenuous exercise, alcoholic beverages, and exposure to freezing temperatures or to the sun for the first 24 hours after your Juvederm treatment. In other words take it easy. This whole process in the doctor’s office should take about 15 minutes to one half hour. You will instantly see the results. You may need a touch up appointment to get an optimal result. As far as side effects are concerned, they are mild to moderate in nature and lasting less than seven days. These side effects could include tenderness, bruising and redness which can be covered up with makeup.
