How JUVÉDERM® Smoothes and Revitalizes Skin

What causes deep wrinkles and folds?
As we age, our skin loses elastin and collagen — two compounds that give our skin a youthful appearance. As this happens, wrinkles become deeper, and fine lines appear more prominent. You may see creases around your eyes, nose, mouth, cheeks, and forehead.
Unfortunately, factors like sun exposure, smoking, poor diet, dehydration, stress, lack of sleep, and genetics all contribute to premature aging. Wrinkles can make us look old, even if we are still relatively young. Instead of relying on skin creams or makeup to hide these lines, many people opt for dermal fillers like JUVÉDERM.
What is JUVÉDERM?
JUVÉDERM is a hyaluronic acid-based filler that smoothes out problem areas by adding volume to the skin. Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a substance produced by our own bodies and keeps our skin hydrated and plump. By injecting JUVÉDERM into certain areas, we can restore lost volume and reduce common signs of aging, such as:
- Forehead lines
- Crow's feet
- Frown lines between the eyebrows
- Nasolabial folds and marionette lines
- Sagging cheeks and mid-face volume loss
- Thin and wrinkled lips
What happens during a JUVÉDERM appointment?
One of the best plastic surgeons in Dallas can recommend a dermal filler brand during a consultation at Phillip Dauwe, M.D. Plastic Surgery. Dr. Dauwe begins by examining the treatment areas and making recommendations about dosage, placement, and expected results. We can even show JUVÉDERM before and after photos to help you visualize what's possible.
Once the consultation is over and we have a treatment plan, we carefully administer the JUVÉDERM gel into the skin using a fine needle. Patients may feel some discomfort, but most report little to no pain. The good news is that you should see immediate results once the initial swelling subsides.
How often should I get JUVÉDERM treatments?
JUVÉDERM results typically last 6 – 12 months, depending on the individual and treatment areas involved. After this time, you may want to book a touch-up appointment with Dr. Dauwe to maintain refreshed outcomes. During this follow-up visit, we can discuss any other skin concerns you may have and decide on the course of action moving forward.
