One of the best ways for Santa Monica residents to maintain a fresh and youthful appearance is by protecting their skin from the ravages of the sun. Even with continual diligence in this area, however, the signs of aging are bound to eventually appear. These often manifest in the form of loose and sagging skin along the jawline, deep creases that travel along the nasolabial folds, and noticeable hollows at the cheeks. All of these structural changes indicate age-related volume loss. The good news is that Juvederm® injectables are designed to safely and instantly turn back the hands of time.
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is an important substance that is found all throughout the human body in the joints, connective tissues, and skin. This essential, skin-supporting substance is also the basis of all Juvederm® injectables. This is one of the top reasons why Juvederm® is such a popular anti-aging treatment both in Santa Monica, the South Bay cities and throughout the world. Given that these formulas are largely based upon a naturally-occurring acid, there is little risk of irritation or allergic reaction.
During a Juvederm® anti-aging procedure, small amounts of this solution are inserted into areas showing evidence of age-related volume loss. These injections are performed in a very precise and skillful manner. After the product has been inserted into the treatment area, the HA within it will instantly bind itself to local skin cells while simultaneously attracting and retaining water molecules. This creates a remarkable lifting effect that can be seen at the very surface layers of the skin. As greater numbers of water molecules are collected and retained, surface wrinkles smooth out, hollows are filled in, and the skin becomes more youthful-looking overall.
Juvederm® is far more than just a non-surgical anti-aging product. Various versions of this solution can also be used to non-surgically augment the lips, and to restructure and redefine other areas of the face.
