Juvederm One of Top Fillers to Restore Youthful Appearance

    HOUSTON, TX, May 15, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Of the many fillers used to restore a youthful appearance, Juvederm ranks at the top of the list for many of the country's top cosmetic surgeons. So, why this product when there are so many fillers on the market? While the others are as effective as they ever were, Juvederm ups the ante significantly.

About Juvederm

Juvederm is made of hyaluronic acid (HA), a sugar that occurs naturally in human tissues. HA is believed to play a role in healing, especially of the skin. HA binds with water to produce a plumping effect, up to 1,000 times its volume. HA helps skin absorb and retain moisture and nutrients. This is especially beneficial to aging skin because with age comes the loss of retention.

Juvederm is a Favorite Choice

Juvederm is favored by plastic surgeons over other formulations and fillers for several reasons.

Juvederm :

- Comes in four concentrations of gel making it more versatile than other formulations. Higher concentrations can be used for treating deeper skin folds. Lower concentrations are ideal for fine or medium lines or wrinkles.
- Gel is absorbed more slowly than other brands and formulations so it lasts longer, up to one year.
- Is a smooth gel that requires smaller needles and less pressure to inject. This means less discomfort for you.
- Treatments can be completed in 30 minutes or less.
- Results are immediate.
- Requires no recovery time, so you can return to your usual routine immediately.
- Can be used in combination with BOTOX for deeper wrinkles and even furrows that occur, commonly, in the forehead.
- Is effective with any skin type.
- Often gives great results when other fillers have failed.

Candidates for Juvederm

Juvederm treats wrinkles and creases that develop from repeated muscle movements around your mouth, nose or forehead. Juvederm can be used as a filler for lip augmentation, as filler for facial contouring, and to improve scars-especially those caused by acne.

Results are long-lasting but temporary. If you don't like the results, HA is eventually absorbed by your system. But if you do like the results, you can enjoy them longer because Juvederm treatments last from six months to as long a one year.

Side Effects are Minimal

Juvederm's few side effects are more advantageous than it might appear. Although you might experience some redness and tenderness around the injection sites, bear in mind that HA is a component of the natural healing process, which produces inflammation wherever the skin is broken. Inflammation is a positive indication of healing, and it will clear up within hours to a couple days.

Juvederm is not recommended for women who are pregnant or breast feeding, for treating areas with loose or very thin skin or for treating enlarged scars.
