People living in West Hollywood tend to have high expectations when it comes to facial sculpting treatments like fillers. If you are looking for a product that can help reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles, or if you simply want to alter your facial anatomy in a subtle way, then you should consider undergoing a treatment with Juvederm® dermal fillers containing hyaluronic acid. These fillers offer immediate results with little to no downtime.
Causes of Facial Aging
Before looking in-depth at Juvederm®, it may be helpful to understand the causes of facial aging as it relates to treatment with dermal fillers. Your skin contains certain substances like hyaluronic acid that tend to decline in both quantity and quality as you grow older. The purpose of hyaluronic acid in your skin is to create hydration. HA is ubiquitous in soft tissues like between your joints and and skin. In your joints, hyaluronic acid acts as a cushion for harsh impacts. Your skin benefits from hyaluronic acid by becoming more volumized and hydrated.
As you grow older and lose hyaluronic acid, your skin will naturally become thinner and drier. Think of a dry riverbed. The dryer it gets, the more cracks develop in the surface. Wrinkles are cracks that become creases and folds over time. That is where Juvederm® comes in.
Juvederm® to the Rescue
A Juvederm® treatment can help to reverse the process of facial aging created by a deficiency of hyaluronic acid. It contains hyaluronic acid within an extremely smooth gel that works very easily using the injection delivery method. After injection at the treatment sites, the product begins to immediately draw moisture into your skin to hydrate and plump it. In addition to hyaluronic acid, the gel contains lidocaine to ensure the comfort of the patient.
Voluma
As you grow older, your skin may begin to sag and your cheeks may flatten. This can be a result of volume loss in your cheek area. The Voluma product was specifically formulated to create volume under the surface of your skin to contour and lift the cheek area.
The Volbella product is a gel that is delivered using an injection into your lips to augment them and correct “lipstick lines” in adults.
Vollure
If you are dealing with moderate to severe facial folds and wrinkles like “parentheses lines” around your mouth and nose, we can inject you with Vollure to temporarily correct these types of wrinkles, leading to a more youthful and smooth facial appearance.
