What Is JUVÉDERM® Injectable Gel?
As we age, our skin changes. Over time, the natural volume of youthful skin begins to diminish as wrinkles and folds form. But, with JUVÉDERM® injectable gel, you don't have to just sit back and let it happen!
JUVÉDERM® provides a smooth, natural look and feel—so everyone will notice (but no one will know)! In fact, studies show superior results of JUVÉDERM® compared to a collagen-based dermal filler.†
- Almost 90% of all study volunteers who were treated with both JUVÉDERM® injectable gel and another dermal filler† preferred JUVÉDERM®!
What to Expect During Treatment
We are very pleased to have Claire Hardiman, RGN, at The Laser Clinic. Claire has built a strong reputation and has a loyal following with clients returning for repeat treatments again and again!
Claire is a 'natural' with the procedures involved and clients are welcome to view her portfolio which is very impressive. Claire offers free consultations at The Laser Clinic without obligation; an opportunity to discuss whether the procedure is right for you.
Because JUVÉDERM® injectable gel is a simple, nonsurgical wrinkle treatment, there is minimal recovery or downtime.
Here's what to expect when you visit The Laser Clinic for treatment.
When you arrive: If this is your first visit, Claire, who is a Registered Nurse (and is a very experienced injector), will ask about your medical history, including any allergies you may have or medications you may take, and will tell you more about wrinkle treatment with JUVÉDERM®. JUVÉDERM® injectable gel does not require an allergy test.
Determining your treatment needs: Claire will examine the soft tissue of your face to assess the depth of wrinkles and folds to determine your treatment. JUVÉDERM® injectable gel is available in two formulations—JUVÉDERM® Ultra for versatility in contouring and volumizing facial wrinkles and folds, and JUVÉDERM® Ultra Plus, a robust formulation for volumizing and correcting deeper folds and wrinkles. This allows Claire to better tailor treatment to your unique needs. She may even take pre-treatment photographs so you can see the difference after treatment!
Before the procedure: Although anesthesia is not required, Claire may use topical or injectable anesthesia to numb the treatment area first.
Juvederm® was launched in the UK in 2001.
It is made from a cross linked hyaluronic acid similar to the body's own natural collagen. It is non animal in origin and does not require a patch test.
The hyaluronic acid is eventually broken down over the months leaving no trace of the filler.
The gel is injected into the skin with a very fine needle, it plumps out the skin; filling lines, and deeper folds.
It is a safe treatment available in different formulations.
Juvederm Ultra was launched in 2008 combining local anaesthetic in the products for improved comfort. This a wonderful product for smokers lines and lip enhancements if you do not want to have a dental block for pain relief. It lasts slightly longer than our hyaluronic acid fillers, although it is a little more expensive than the other hyaluronic acid fillers. We recommend Juvederm ultra to clients who have found treatments of the lip and smokers line treatments uncomfortable.
Allergan the manufacturer claim it can last up to a year. We are awaiting feed back from our customers who have had this filler to confirm if this is the case but so far feedback is promising.
