5 Reasons to Consider Juvéderm Dermal Fillers
It’s not uncommon for women or men of any age to seek professional treatment options to help them achieve a more radiant, youthful appearance, especially when the first signs of wrinkles set in. But if you’re not interested in a surgical procedure, or you don’t feel that you’re ready for one yet, Juvéderm dermal fillers can be a great nonsurgical alternative with a variety of unique benefits. When weighing your options, consider these five key facts about Juvéderm fillers.
1. It’s a “Lunchtime” Procedure
Dermal fillers are often referred to as a “lunchtime” procedure because they’re relatively quick and easy to perform, making them convenient to schedule during your lunch break. Most people can expect to return to work or other normal daily activities immediately after their appointment, which typically lasts less than 20 minutes.
2. Results Can Be Long-Lasting
Although Juvéderm injectables provide a temporary solution to fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of facial volume, their results can last between 6 to 12 months, depending on the type, location, and density of the filler (American Board of Cosmetic Surgery). But because this procedure is simple and convenient, many people find that scheduling regular appointments spaced several months apart is easy to maintain and offers an effective alternative to a more invasive procedure.
3. Dermal Fillers Can Be Modified to Suit Your Needs
One of the benefits of maintaining regular appointments for your injectable fillers is that you have the opportunity to modify your results with each treatment session. Perhaps you begin to notice a new set of wrinkles that never used to bother you, or you would like a larger boost of facial volume. During your next appointment, your plastic surgeon or clinician can adjust the location and amount of filler used to accommodate your changing needs.
4. Little to No Downtime
Another benefit of opting for a nonsurgical procedure to address wrinkles and loss of facial volume is that there is minimal, if any, downtime associated with Juvéderm dermal fillers, so you can expect to resume your normal activities immediately following your session. You may experience some mild redness, swelling, or bruising, but these symptoms should resolve themselves within a few hours or days after treatment (American Society of Plastic Surgeons).
5. Nearly Immediate Results
Immediately following your treatment session, you should begin to notice a visible improvement in the smoothness and youthfulness of your skin (American Academy of Dermatology). Once any swelling, redness, or bruising that may occur diminishes, you should be able to enjoy your full results within a few hours or days after your injectable treatment. These very natural-looking results can last for several months before gradually fading over time until you’re ready for your next appointment.
Choosing the Right Juvéderm Provider
Although injectable dermal fillers are relatively quick and easy to perform, it’s important to note that they still need to be administered by a trained and experienced professional to ensure your safety and optimum results. Be wary of “too good to be true” prices and offers, because when it comes to cosmetic procedures, you truly do get what you pay for. Not only do you run the risk of fake-looking results that you don’t want, but you can also put your safety at risk by not doing a little research before choosing the right medical spa for your injectables.
