Fillers for Lines, Wrinkles and Lips
View Juvederm Before & After Photos
Over recent years, hyaluronic acid has emerged as
the miracle compound for filling in wrinkles.
Hyaluronic acid is a major component of skin tissue,
maintains local moisture content, and is gradually
reabsorbed with time.
It is available from several companies. Juvederm is
now available in Canada and is a highly purified hyaluronic
acid in the form of a viscoelastic gel. It is transparent,
homogeneous, and has several major benefits:
- It is of non-animal origin
- It does not require any prior test
- The molecule is highly bio-compatible
Juvederm is available in two different
concentrations, and is supplied to physicians in ready to
use pre-filled syringes. Physicians can select the type of
Juvederm to use based on the patient's needs and
anatomy.
Juvederm Ultra, the light to mid-density form, is used
for more prominent lines, and effectively fills forehead
wrinkles, glabellar lines, mild to moderate nasal furrows
and cheek wrinkles.
Juvederm Ultra Plus, the high density type, fills deep nasolabial folds, returns volume to your lips, sculptures
your cheeks and gives your face, its natural oval shape
again. A follow-up procedure a few weeks after the initial
treatment is recommended for some patients to optimize the
outcome.
Mild redness and local swelling may develop at the injection
site after treatment, but
will generally disappear spontaneously within 72 hours.
Juvederm should not be used under these
circumstances:
- Known hypersensitivity to hyaluronic acid
- Diseases affecting the immune system
- Pregnant or breast-feeding women
- You should avoid exposing yourself to high
temperatures (severe cold or
saunas) for several days following the treatment
