The decreased elasticity of our skin is a natural result of aging. It can be especially noticeable in the face and neck area, which is why many people feel self-conscious about developing parentheses lines or droopy jowls. What if there was a way to combat this sign of aging?
Juvederm® is an FDA-approved line of injectable gels made with hyaluronic acid, a naturally produced substance in our bodies that helps moisturize and volumize skin. The Juvederm collection is safe for use around the mid-face, nose and mouth. At the Vein Centers of Connecticut, we administer four Juvederm fillers: Ultra, Volbella, Voluma and Vollure. If you’ve experienced a loss of volume or have developed lines or wrinkles, which injectable is right for you?
Juvederm Ultra
When our skin loses collagen and hyaluronic acid, static lines can form on the face. For lines appearing around the nose and mouth, Juvederm Ultra is your best option to help smooth them. Nasolabial folds can be reduced with this injectable, which works below the skin’s surface to lessen the severity of “smile and frown lines”.
Juvederm Volbella
As skin begins to dry out and the production of collagen is slowed, we may suddenly notice our lips have lost volume. If you’re looking to volumize lip tissue, Juvederm Volbella will add definition to your pout. Made with hyaluronic acid and Lidocaine, Volbella helps your lips retain moisture and reproduce subtle volume for a noticeably fuller mouth.
Juvederm Voluma
Over time, our cheeks can also lose volume. When you look in the mirror and see flat or sagging cheeks, Juvederm Voluma can help restore their youthful contour. This injectable works below the skin’s surface to revitalize your mid-face. Many patients see results lasting up to two years after a series of injections.
Juvederm Vollure
Facial parentheses lines are slightly curved outlines found around the mouth. Many men and women develop them as a natural part of aging, when the skin loses moisture and suppleness. We recommend our patients use Juvederm Vollure to combat these fine lines, which helps make the skin more pliant and smoother. Vollure is the only injectable product used for correction of lines and wrinkles in the lower-face that lasts up to 18 months!
Juvederm products should not be used in patients younger than 21. To learn if an injectable filler is the solution to your aesthetic concerns, contact us today.
