Juvéderm
For many people, the younger they look, the better they feel about themselves. However, age is an unstoppable process and as the body grows older so does the skin; consequently its appearance and characteristics change.
Age, hormones, sun exposure and smoking can all cause fine lines and wrinkles to develop; skin feels more fragile and less elastic.
As we age the hyaluronic acid (HA) content of our skin, which is so important for water retention, decreases. Oil-producing (sebaceous) glands become less active and skin becomes drier. The skin also loses fat, so it looks less plump and smooth and because the number of blood vessels in the skin decreases, the skin loses its youthful colour and glow.
While all these changes are taking place gravity is also at work, pulling at the skin and causing it to sag.
Amongst the options available to treat lines and wrinkles, dermal fillers which contain hyaluronic acid are a popular choice because they effectively diminish the signs of ageing and rehydrate the skin tissue. Treatment is quick, convenient and the results can be seen straight away.
Juvéderm® ULTRA is a range of smooth consistency gels which are injected to restore volume, fill fine lines, wrinkles and folds and redefine lips. The smooth consistency is due to its advanced formulation.
Unlike other fillers, Juvéderm® ULTRA is not granular which means that it is able to flow easily into the skin. This results in a smooth and natural appearance.
