At Longmont Oral, Facial and Implant Surgery we are happy to offer our patients, JUVÉDERM®, an FDA approved cosmetic dermal filler. Dermal fillers are effective at creating restoring a healthy and youthful appearance to areas of the body by replacing lost tissue volume and smoothing out deep folds or wrinkles on the face.
JUVÉDERM® is a form of hyaluronic acid, a substance that is found naturally in healthy skin. Hyaluronic acid is what helps skin retain moisture producing a youthful and healthy appearance.
By injecting JUVÉDERM® directly under the skin, wrinkles and deep creases on the face are essentially filled in reducing the appearance of age and even scarring. JUVÉDERM® is typically administered using the pre-filled syringes, each containing 1.0 ml of the product, and a very fine needle, causing minimal if any pain or discomfort.
JUVÉDERM® is often used to:
- fill in nasolabial folds (a.k.a. parenthesis lines) and creases from the corner of the mouth that extends to the chin (a.k.a. marionette lines)
- plump up thin or thinning lips
- reduce wrinkles or creases surrounding the lips
- Minimize the deep furrow lines between the eyebrows
- Reduce scarring that causes dimpling of the skin
Results from JUVÉDERM® injection can be seen immediately, but their full effect may not be fully visible until all swelling or bruising has resolved. Any swelling and bruising are typically minimal and most return to daily activities almost immediately. The effects of JUVÉDERM® are not permanent but typically last from 9-12 months depending on how active the muscles are in the treated area.
Schedule a consultation to see if JUVÉDERM® could take off a few years and add a little youth and vitality to your appearance. Here at Longmont Oral, Facial and Implant Surgery we will be happy to help you find the option that will best meet your needs and give you the best outcome. Contact us today!
