JUVÉDERM™ - A NEW HYALURONIC ACID FILLER
Dr James Newman has introduced JUVÉDERM™ cosmetic
facial fillers to our clients, as an expert in filler administration
our office has been selected as an Experience Trial Center. We have
been treating patients since October of 2006. JUVÉDERM®
is a ‘next generation’ family of smooth, long-lasting gel dermal
fillers, and the latest advance in hyaluronic acid cosmetic filler
technology. Over recent years, hyaluronic acid, a complex sugar
already found naturally in the body, has become a favored compound
for replenishing the areas of the face where the skin’s volume and
fullness has been lost.
In the body, hyaluronic acid fills the space between collagen and
elastin fibers of the skin. It is present in all living cells;
attracting and binding water, hydrating and giving the skin
smoothness and volume. However, as the body ages, the ability of the
body’s cells to manufacture its own hyaluronic acid is diminished,
resulting in the loss of skin volume, producing folds and wrinkles.
JUVÉDERM™ is biosynthetic and of non-animal origin. Since it is not
created from an animal source, there is little chance of allergic
reaction. The formula is highly biocompatible, and no testing is
required prior to administration. It has been proven to be safe and
effective for skin of all types and colors.
The main difference between JUVÉDERM™ and other popular hyaluronic
acid fillers is that JUVÉDERM™ has the highest concentration of
hyaluronic acid, and is produced with a special formulation process
that makes it smoother than that of other popular gels. These gels
utilize a suspension process, with particles that can be visibly
seen. JUVÉDERM™ is completely transparent.
The combination of the higher concentration of hyaluronic acid and
the smoother formulation make JUVÉDERM™ long-lasting (up to six
months or longer), easier to fill with, and should produce more
natural, even filling effects, with patient discomfort minimized at
the injection site. As with other hyaluronic acid fillers, JUVÉDERM™
is gradually absorbed naturally into the body.
JUVÉDERM™’s
solutions to facial wrinkles and folds are its density formulations:
 |
JUVÉDERM™
ULTRA: for contouring and
volumizing average-depth
depressions/wrinkles such as nasolabial
folds, forehead wrinkles, glabellar lines,
mild-to-moderate nasal and cheek furrows,
and to plump up thin lips. |
|
|
JUVÉDERM™
ULTRA PLUS: where deeper correction is
needed; used for volume filling of cheeks,
lips and deep nasolabial folds. |
JUVÉDERM™ comes packed in a sterile syringe, ready to be
administered. The areas to be injected are numbed with a topical
anesthetic cream and a specific mini nerve block by Dr. Newman
before treatment.
JUVÉDERM™ is distributed by Allergan, the makers of BOTOX®
Cosmetic and Prevage® MD Anti-Aging treatment.
Dr Newman can combine all of the nonsurgical technologies to create
an enhanced face lift like result.
