Understanding Juvederm
Your skin is one of the first things others notice about you. But even someone with beautiful skin can be affected by wrinkles, causing them to look older than they really are. Luckily, products such as Juvéderm XC can help to ease the signs of aging. Juvéderm is a smooth dermal gel filler that works by replacing hyaluronic acid in the skin, a naturally-occuring moisturizer, which is lost as we age.
If you have unwanted lines or wrinkles and you want to get rid of them, Juvéderm may be able to help. Contact Dermagenix, the Houston medical spa, today at 713-662-3376 to talk to one of our skin care specialists and find out what you can do to gracefully fight the signs of aging.
What Juvederm Treats
Wrinkles begin forming when hyaluronic acid in our second layer of skin (the dermis) starts to diminish as we age. Hyaluronic acid works like a sponge, absorbing water to give the face volume. When this molecule is lost, lines and folds begin to appear in the skin, heightening the appearance of old age. Juvéderm is designed to act as a replacement for lost hyaluronic acid, and it can smooth or erase wrinkles in the following problem areas:
- Smile lines (the lines running from the corners of your mouth to your nose)
- Marionette lines (the wrinkles than form below the corners of your mouth)
- Vertical lines (lines that form on the upper lip)
Juvéderm can be used in all of these problem areas, leaving skin looking rejuvenated and young.
