For years, people have been looking for ways to get rid of wrinkles and other signs of aging. And for good reason – these symptoms can make you look older than you really are! But many treatments come with a hefty price tag or involve invasive surgery. Fortunately, there’s now a much more affordable option: Juvederm injections. These injections can help to smooth away wrinkles, give you fuller lips, and even improve the appearance of scars. We offer this product at Revive MD Center in Glen Allen, VA and would love to explain to you just what these injections can do.
One of the great things about this product is that it’s not a permanent solution. This means that if you don’t like the way it looks, or if you have any adverse reactions, the effects will eventually wear off. The length of time that this treatment lasts depends on the individual and the specific area injected. But in general, results can last anywhere from 6 to 12 months.
Juvederm is a type of dermal filler. Dermal fillers are injected into the skin in order to help fill out facial wrinkles and folds. Dermal fillers are made from hyaluronic acid, which is a substance that naturally occurs in the human body. This substance helps to keep skin hydrated and plump.
The great thing about this product is that the results are immediate. You will see a difference as soon as the injections are complete. However, it may take a few days for the full results to become apparent. This is because the gel will fill out your wrinkles and lines immediately, but eventually your body will metabolize it.
However, even after the product has been metabolized, your results will remain. Why is this? It’s because this product is a collagen-inducing treatment. That means it signals to your body to make more collagen, which keeps your body naturally plumping and restoring the skin.
This treatment can be used for a variety of purposes, including:
This product has been in use for quite some time now. It was first introduced in the early 2000s and has since become a popular choice for people looking to improve the appearance of wrinkles and other signs of aging. This product is considered to be a safe and effective treatment, and many people are happy with the results it provides.
Most people are good candidates for this treatment. However, there are some people who may not be suitable candidates, such as those who have:
If you’re thinking about getting these injections, the best way to find out if you’re a good candidate is to schedule a consultation with us. We will assess your individual case and let you know if this product is right for you.
When you come in for your injections, the first thing we will do is clean the area to be treated. We will then inject the product into your skin using a fine needle. The injections are not painful, and the entire process takes just minutes to complete.
There is no special preparation required for these injections. Just make sure that you avoid taking blood-thinning medications, such as aspirin or ibuprofen, for at least a week before treatment and stop smoking at least two weeks before treatment.
After your injections, avoid exposure to sunlight and extreme temperatures for at least a week. You should also avoid smoking, as this can impede the healing process. We will give you specific instructions on how to care for your skin after treatment.
These injections are generally not covered by insurance. However, we recommend financing options through CareCredit, ALPHAEON Credit, and United Medical Credit, which are all great ways to afford the treatments that give you the youthful look you deserve. All of these options provide excellent customer service as well as peace of mind.
Yes, this treatment can be used in conjunction with Botox. In fact, many people choose to get both treatments at the same time in order to achieve optimal results.
Botox and dermal fillers are both ways to make your face look better. Botox addresses dynamic wrinkles, which are the wrinkles that develop due to facial movements. Dermal fillers make wrinkles go away by plumping up the volume of your face. If you’re not sure which option is right for you, our team at Revive MD Center can help you make a decision.
As we age, our face begins to lose volume. This loss of volume can lead to wrinkles and sagging skin. There are a variety of reasons why this happens, including:
Dermal fillers can help to restore lost volume, making people look more youthful. Dermal fillers are made of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps to retain moisture. When injected into the skin, dermal fillers can help to plump up the skin, filling in wrinkles and giving the face a more youthful appearance.
One of the great things about this treatment is that it is a non-surgical procedure, so there is no downtime required for recovery. The results are immediate and can last for up to a year.
During the consultation, we will assess your individual case and discuss your goals for treatment. We will also examine your skin to make sure that this treatment is the right treatment for you. If it is, we will develop a personalized treatment plan just for you. We will talk about your health condition and any medications you may be on, so come prepared to discuss all that with us.
Each type of this product is designed for specific purposes. Ultra is typically used to treat fine lines and wrinkles, while Ultra Plus is used for deeper wrinkles, for example. Voluma is used to add volume to the face.
Ultra is a smooth, gel-like filler that is used to fill in moderate to severe wrinkles and folds. It is made of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps to retain moisture. When injected into the skin, this product can help to plump up the skin, filling in wrinkles and giving the face a more youthful appearance.
Ultra Plus is a thicker, gel-like filler that is used to fill in deeper wrinkles and folds. It can also be used to plump up the lips. Juvederm Ultra Plus contains a small amount of lidocaine, which helps to numb the area being treated. The results from Ultra Plus are not permanent, and touch-ups may be needed every six to twelve months.
Voluma was approved by the FDA in 2013. It is specifically designed to add volume to the cheek area. Voluma can last up to two years, making it one of the longest-lasting fillers available.
Vollure was approved by the FDA in 2017. It is specifically designed to soften moderate to severe wrinkles and folds, such as the nasolabial folds (the creases that run from the bottom of your nose to the corners of your mouth). Vollure can last up to 18 months.
Volbella was approved by the FDA in 2016. It is specifically designed for the lips and can be used to add volume, as well as to improve the appearance of fine lines around the mouth. Volbella can last up to one year.
