Juvederm of Phoenix and Glendale, Arizona
Many individuals develop wrinkles and fine lines with age and would like to reverse these signs of aging.
While there are many cosmetic topical products available, none is effective. Over the last 20 years, there
have been significant advances in the development of tissue fillers which can be used to plump up the skin
and at the same time reverse the deep furrows and wrinkles on the face. There are at least 20 different dermal
fillers on the market and one of them is Juvederm. Juvederm is temporary soft tissue filler and widely used
in the treatment for a variety of skin disorders like facial wrinkles, deep creases and for augmenting the lips.
Unlike past dermal
fillers, Juvederm is not made from collagen but is composed of hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is naturally
found in the body and has many functions including providing support for the skin, functioning like a shock
absorber in the joints and has the ability to retain water. With age, most people lose some of the natural
hyaluronic acid in the body.
Today, Juvederm injections can help replace the lost hyaluronic acid and
reverse the fine lines, wrinkles and furrows on the face. Juvederm can be used to treat sagging skin, lines and
wrinkles on the face and neck. It has also been shown that Juvederm injections can also produce plump, luscious
and attractive lips. The injections of Juvederm are done at a spa or a physician's office. Very fine needles
are used for injection and the procedure is relatively painless. Juvederm injections rarely take more than 5-15
minutes and there is little downtime.
