A lack of volume in the skin creates the appearance of aging. Naturally, as we age, the skin tends to lose elasticity, and for some, that can mean skin that loses volume. The loss in volume leaves the face looking hollow and older. Juvederm is a class of cosmetic injection that is particularly useful for adding volume to the face. Cosmetic injections and dermal fillers are used for a wide range of anti-aging treatments.
Dermal fillers like Juvederm are used for a variety of volume-related procedures such as softening wrinkles and augmenting the lips. Juvederm is composed of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the human body.
Hyaluronic acid is known for its ability to hold water and bind with the skin cells to promote collagen growth, which is an essential part of skin health. The added volume lasts up to a year and softens the appearance of wrinkles and lines. Consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Ryan Hoffman if you’d like to know more about dermal fillers.
