Are you feeling self-conscious about the signs of aging on your face? Wishing you could turn back the hands of time? At Dr. Lanna Aesthetics, we offer a solution that can help you regain your confidence and love how you look again - Juvederm.

How Does Juvederm Work?

Juvederm is an injectable dermal filler containing hyaluronic acid that temporarily adds volume and fullness to the skin. Here's a brief overview of how it works:

Hyaluronic acid is a sugar molecule that occurs naturally in our skin. It attracts and retains water in the tissues, maintaining supple hydration. Over time, our body's hyaluronic acid levels diminish, leading to loss of plumpness and definition. This contributes to wrinkles, sagging, and signs of aging.

Juvederm counteracts those biological effects by infusing beads of hyaluronic acid directly into problem areas using an ultra-fine needle. The gel-like filler subtly augments depleted zones for a refreshed, contoured look. It works on two levels:

Immediate Correction - Upon injection, Juvederm functions like a liquid collagen booster to naturally bulk up thin skin. Marionette lines are softened and cheeks are lifted for a well-rested appearance.

Progressive Stimulation - Additionally, Juvederm sparks fibroblast cells to generate new collagen and elastin production over 6-12 months. This extends its rejuvenating influence beyond the first treatment.

Best of all, Juvederm utilizes your body's naturally hydrating component so results feel absolutely smooth and realistic. With its advanced formulation and unparalleled ease of administration, it's no wonder physicians rely on Juvederm to keep our clients looking refreshed.

Features of Juvederm

Juvederm is a dermal filler made of hyaluronic acid, a substance that is naturally found in the skin. This provides it with several unique features:

  • Hyaluronic acid is a safe and gentle material that interacts harmoniously with skin tissue.
  • It works to stimulate your body's natural production of hyaluronic acid over time for long-lasting, yet gradual and natural-looking results.
  • Administered via a tiny injection, it fills in wrinkles and folds from the inside out for a smooth, supple appearance.

Advantages of Juvederm

These product features give Juvederm several key advantages over other anti-aging options:

  • It replenishes lost volume caused by thinning skin for a more youthful fullness where it counts - cheeks and jaws.
  • Results are immediately visible yet improve gradually, appearing very natural unlike some fillers.
  • Just one treatment lasts up to a year, saving you money versus constant upkeep with other options.

Benefits of Juvederm

What does this all mean for you, our valued patients here in Staten Island? The bottom-line benefits of choosing Juvederm include:

FAQ About Juvederm

What areas do fillers commonly treat?

Some of the most popular facial areas addressed with injectable fillers include nasolabial folds, frown lines, and laugh lines. Volume loss in the cheeks or around the lips leading to frown lines or sagging is also commonly corrected.

What types of fillers are used?

The majority of board-certified plastic surgeons like myself use hyaluronic acid-based fillers for their safety, natural results and long-lasting collagen stimulation. Popular options include Juvederm, Restylane, and Bellafill, which replenish hydration to diminish wrinkles over time.

How are they administered?

After a consultation to determine your individualized goals and skin type, injections are performed swiftly and conveniently in-office using an ultra-fine needle. Proper placement of microdroplets replaces depleted volume without extensive downtime.

How long do filler results last?

On average, hyaluronic acid fillers provide a smooth, youthful appearance for 6-12 months by gradually increasing facial volume and collagen production. More permanent options may refresh one's look for up to 2 years, requiring less frequent touch-ups.

Are there risks to consider?

As with any cosmetic procedure, potential side effects like temporary swelling or bruising may occur but are generally quite mild when administered by an experienced cosmetic surgeon. Choosing a board-certified expert and FDA-approved fillers ensures maximum safety and effectiveness.
