Fine lines and wrinkles are the first signs of aging on the face, and as they develop, both men and women are often interested in finding ways to reverse them. Additionally, many want to avoid expensive plastic surgeries such as forehead lifts and facelifts until absolutely necessary. This is when Dr. Thomas Wiener of Austin, TX may recommend the use of cosmetic injectables called dermal fillers. Dermal fillers are gel-like substances formulated with hyaluronic acid that add volume right where they are needed to smooth away wrinkles and folds. One of the most popular variety is that of Juvéderm.
What is Juvéderm?
Juvéderm is one of many hyaluronic acid dermal fillers used to enhance the skin. Patients with mild to moderate fine lines and wrinkles will find that the addition of dermal fillers in these areas helps in reducing the depth of these imperfections to achieve a more youthful look. Juvéderm results are seen immediately, allowing patients to leave the office looking younger than when they arrived!
Is Juvéderm safe?
Juvéderm, like many of the other cosmetic injectables used at Thomas Wiener Plastic Surgery, is completely safe when managed in the hands of an experienced provider. The injectable is cleared by the FDA for cosmetic use.
What are the side effects of Juvéderm?
Some patients may experience some of these common yet short-term side effects of Juvéderm injections:
- Swelling
- Redness
- Itching
- Minor bruising
- Discomfort
Most of these resolve on their own within a few days.
How long does Juvéderm last?
Juvéderm is not a permanent fix for aging. In fact, there is no way to completely stop the process. However, Juvéderm can provide filling of fine lines and wrinkles for several months before reinjection is needed. Continued Juvéderm injections over time can slow the signs of aging over time.
