Wouldn’t you love to have luscious movie star lips? Or get
rid of those deep folds that run from the nose to the corner of your
mouth? Minimally invasive procedures like Juvéderm™ and Hylaform™
FDA-approved cosmetic fillers are quick, safe ways to restore volume and fullness
to the skin and lips and to correct moderate to severe wrinkles and
folds around the nose and mouth. The results are temporary but long-lasting—up to a year for Juvéderm—and may last even longer when combined with BOTOX® injections.
Juvéderm and Hylaform are sterile biodegradable gels created in
a lab from hyaluronic acid, a substance that occurs in our skin and joints naturally.
How it works:
The gel is injected into the skin with a very fine needle. The injected
gel, which is hydrophilic—meaning it attracts water—“plumps”
the surrounding tissue, giving a fuller look to the skin or lips,
filling out fine lines and wrinkles.
Is it right for you?
Juvéderm and Hylaform are the answer for anyone who would
like to a more youthful appearance with fewer wrinkles and fuller
lips without the allergenic risks of collagen injections.
How many treatments are necessary?
Your consultant will discuss the optimum number of treatments you’ll
need to achieve the desired effect. Juvéderm treatments
may last for up to one year, while Hylaform may last up to six month. There is evidence that having
a touch up before the product is completely dissipated in the body
will make your results last longer. And, as mentioned above, combination
therapy with BOTOX cosmetic will also prolong your results.
