Dermal fillers are a very popular aesthetic treatment because they deliver great results without plastic surgery. Juvederm is used to smooth away fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth and nose. These areas include marionette lines and vertical lip lines.
How long can you reasonably expect JUVEDERM to last?
Typically, esthetic results last about 12 months. Below you will find the reasons for the variable results and tips to prolong your cosmetic results.
The Patient Variable
Every cosmetic treatment will deal with an individual's variables, the type of product used, and its specification. Results can also be influenced by:
- Area to be treated
- The time it takes for your body to metabolize the product
- Amount of filler material that is injected
JUVEDERM offers a few different formulas, and results vary for each one. Here is a general guide to the Juvederm products Marielaina Perrone DDS offers:
- JUVÉDERM Ultra and Ultra Plus: Approximately one year, with a possible touch-up around the six-month mark
- JUVÉDERM Volbella: Approximately one year
JUVEDERM fillers are made from hyaluronic acid. The material is designed to mimic the hyaluronic acid already present in the skin.
Once treatment is completed, the dermal filler will slowly degrade over time. Luckily, this is not readily noticeable. The Juvederm filler absorbs water, keeping the plump skin look.
Most patients will notice a decreased volume about the halfway mark of treatment. This means a filler will show decreased volume at the six-month mark with an approximate life of 12 months. Dr. Perrone offers minor touch-ups to help maintain and extend esthetic results longer.
JUVEDERM results tend to last longer in injection areas without excessive movements. Esthetic results will not last as long around the lips as they are always moving.
Tips To Prolong Your Juvederm Results
Patients need to understand that touch-up treatments are needed to maximize esthetic results. Dr. Perrone can review a good schedule for you during treatment.
If you maintain a good practice of skin care hygiene, you can extend the life of your Juvederm treatments. Here are a few tips:
- Daily skin moisturizing.
- Hydrate by drinking plenty of water.
- Eat a well-balanced diet.
- Take supplements that support the skin.
- Try to wear sunscreen whenever outside.
Dermal filler is a weapon for anti-aging along with injectable Botox and PDO smooth threads. Juvederm can help create structure in the cheekbones and jawline, soften lines, decrease hollowing under the eyes, and add soft plumpness to the cheeks and lips. The cosmetic results are visible immediately and last for six to 12 months.
