Everything You Need to Know About Juvederm Treatments

---

The aging process is inevitable, but at our Edmonton medi spa, our specialists can help you naturally slow down its progress through the use of powerful, safe, and affordable anti-aging treatments, such as Juvederm tissue fillers.

Juvederm is a tissue filler composed of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occuring substance in the body. When injected into the treatment area, it lifts, smooths, and plumps up your skin for a naturally more youthful appearance.

We often recommend Juvederm for patients looking to:

• Eliminate fine lines and wrinkles
• Fill out hollows beneath the eyes
• Plump up facial areas that have lost volume
• Enhance their lips

What is Juvederm and How Does it Work?

Juvederm is a tissue filler comprised of hyaluronic acid, a substance that is naturally found in your body, that works to maintain hydration and act as a cushioning agent for your skin. When Juvederm is injected into the treatment area, it works to plump up areas of your face that have lost volume due to aging, resulting in a more rejuvenated and youthful appearance.

This tissue filler can be used to treat many problem areas, including:

• Thin lips
• Marionette lines
• Smile lines
• Nasolabial folds
• Gaunt areas of the face, including cheeks, chin, and jawline

3 WAYS JUVEDERM CAN ENHANCE YOUR APPEARANCE

How Long Does the Treatment Take? Patients love Juvederm because the treatment times are so short. Typically, one treatment can be completed in just 15 minutes and patients can return to their daily activities immediately.

How is Juvederm Administered? A fine needle will be used to administer the gel under your skin, in predetermined treatment areas. Our skin specialists can use a topical anesthesia to keep you more comfortable during the procedure.

Why Should I Consider a Juvederm Treatment?

When administered by a trained specialist, Juvederm is a very versatile tissue filler that can give you a naturally rejuvenated appearance. Some of the great benefits of this cosmetic injectable include:

• Natural and long lasting results (up to 12 months)
• There is no risk of allergic reaction because it’s made from a natural substance
• Minimally invasive and fast procedure
• It contains a numbing agent for greater comfort during treatment
• No downtime and patients can return to their daily activities immediately

While the results of Juvederm are not permanent, the effects of this filler can last from 9-12 months, giving you a firmer and more youthful appearance for a longer time than most injectables.

Am I a Good Candidate For Juvederm?

This tissue filler is FDA approved and suitable for all skin types. However, as with all cosmetic treatments, you must book an appointment with your skin specialist to determine if this is a safe procedure for you.

You may not be suitable for a Juvederm treatment if you:

• Are pregnant or breastfeeding
• Have any known allergies to lidocaine or other dermal fillers
• Are younger than 18 years old
• Are taking medications such as blood thinners, aspirin, or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
• Have recently undergone other skin treatments such as microdermabrasion or chemical peels.
