WHY YOU MIGHT NEED JUVÉDERM

As you age, your body begins to slow its production of collagen. Collagen is a protein and primary structural component of the connective tissue that supports the skin and mucosa. It’s what gives your lips that enviable plumpness. As collagen production decreases, you may notice areas (like your lips) lose that youthful, beautiful volume. Other factors, besides age, may decrease or break down collagen production, including:

  • Tanning and sun exposure
  • Persistent, prolonged drinking from a straw (or similar habits)
  • Smoking

These factors give rise to creases around the lips. The vermillion border (line between the membrane of the lip and the skin) may also blur, due to vertical creases around the mouth.

The Juvéderm family of treatments is your proverbial magic wand to reveal the lips and other characteristics that you’ve always wanted. Juvéderm treatments support softer, fuller, more contoured lips with minimal lines, as well as a more youthful, fuller facial shape.

VOLUMA

If you have lost volume in your face and cheeks due to aging, Voluma is a solution you may be of interest to you. As we age, skin in this area can become lax and sag. Voluma is ideal for patients who want to provide lift to this area. Voluma is an injectable gel that, when applied to the “mid-face,” adds volume underneath the skin’s surface for a more youthful and fuller shape. Additionally, Voluma can soften the wrinkles around the mouth and nose (nasolabial folds). When administered precisely and safely at image Dermatology ® P.C., improvements can last for up to two years, and with little more side effects than temporary injection site discomfort, redness, bruising, and swelling.

Dr. Downie is also excited to share a brand-new indication for Voluma: the chin. The lower third portion of the face plays an important role in creating or restoring facial harmony and attractive balance; however, the chin has historically been overlooked during the development of new, nonsurgical cosmetic treatments. Allergan Aesthetics has made this all-important feature a priority. In fact, Voluma is the first and only dermal filler to achieve FDA approval in the U.S. for augmentation or correction of the chin profile, among patients aged 21 and older. We at image Dermatology ® P.C. were privileged to be involved with the clinical trials, which contributed to Allergan reporting that a majority of patients were highly satisfied with the results from chin augmentation a year after treatment. With Voluma’s latest indication, we can shape your entire face – not “just” the cheeks!

PROCEDURE AND RECOVERY

The administration of fillers is straightforward and stress-free. Because they are formulated with hyaluronic acid (which occurs naturally in the body), no allergy testing is required beforehand. Dr. Downie uses a very small needle to inject the gel-like product into the designated target sites. Lidocaine contained within the filler ensures maximum comfort throughout the procedure, which should be completed in about half an hour.

Many patients are free to return, immediately, to their normal everyday activities. There are outliers, and those patients may experience mild bruising and/or swelling at the injection site. This reaction should quickly subside.

Once the treatment and downtime has passed, results should be evident right away, and last anywhere from a year to 18 months or longer (depending on the product administered). To maintain these results and continue with their smoother, more youthful appearance of the face, mouth, lips, and chin, patients can schedule follow-up treatment sessions.

If the aging process or other external factors have caused your face to lose that enviable volume and definition, or these contours never came naturally to you, the Juvéderm family of products may be just what the doctor recommends.
