Injectable fillers provide almost immediate results with very little downtime; however, their benefits are often short lived. Juvederm® collection of products are injectable fillers that provides long-lasting results, especially when administered by a knowledgeable physician such as Dr. Steven Carp, M.D. His Green and Beachwood, OH clinics offers Juvederm® treatments to patients from Akron, Cleveland and Canton as well as the surrounding areas of Ohio.
What Are Juvederm® Fillers?
Juvederm® is a very popular and well-reviewed collection of injectable dermal filler, which include Juvederm Ultra Plus, Juvederm Voluma. It is made from hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance found in the body. It leaves the face with a more attractive and youthful-looking appearance by restoring the volume people have when they are young. It can treat many problem areas, and is requested more often than other injectable treatment because its results last as long as one year.
Benefits of Juvederm®
Several benefits come from using Juvederm®:
- Improves skin contour
- Increases cheek volume
- Lasts for up to one year
- Restores the youthful appearance of the face
- Smoothes wrinkles and fine lines
How Is Juvederm® Administered?
A majority of patients choose to receive Juvederm® without a local anesthetic, but some opt for a numbing agent prior to the procedure to relieve any potential discomfort. At Carp Cosmetic Surgery Center, Dr. Steven Carp uses fine needles for the facial folds and wrinkles that are more noticeable. Hyaluronic acid is the main ingredient in the injections. The substance is found naturally in the body and hydrates the skin when it is injected. This leaves the skin looking younger and feeling smoother in addition to improving its elasticity.
Preparing for a Juvederm® Treatment
Being well-informed about the procedure is an important part of the preparation process. You need to let Dr. Carp know about any medications you are on because he might tell you to stop taking them prior to receiving treatment. Certain medications could cause adverse side effects or work against the treatment when you take them simultaneously. For example, avoid taking anti-inflammatory medications for at least one week prior to the procedure because this will help reduce the risk of bleeding and bruising at the injection site.
Juvederm® Recovery
You need to avoid participating in strenuous activities for 24 hours following the Juvederm® treatment. Also, avoid touching the site of injection on your face. Other activities that you need to avoid include drinking alcohol within 24 hours after the procedure and limiting exposure to sunlight, heat, and cold temperatures for the following two weeks.
