Juvederm

As we age, our skin naturally starts to lose volume and elasticity and is most noticeable on our face. We can start to look tired and feel older than we really are because of loose and sagging skins or wrinkles. Thanks to dermal fillers, like Juvederm®, we can regain some of that volume, smooth out the wrinkles and gain a more refreshed and rejuvenated appearance.

Juvederm® and other dermal fillers include different "injectables", which are used to augment the facial tissue in designated areas. If you suffer from the facial changes associated with aging, trauma, scars or disease, dermal fillers can give you a youthful and revitalized appearance.

Juvederm® is an gel dermal filler made from hyaluronic acid (HA), a complex sugar naturally found in many tissues in the body. HA creates volume and elasticity in the skin and helps fill out wrinkles and facial folds. Juvederm® gives the face a smooth and natural-looking appearance and restores the skin's natural volume.

The Procedure

Prior to the Juvederm® procedure, you will consult with Dr. Skouras to ensure that Juvederm is the best option for your areas of concern. The injection process takes 15-30 minutes and will be done in our office.

Some discomfort can occur during and after the injection. To minimize this, Dr. Skouras will numb the area with a cold pack before the injections begin. The gel is placed under your skin to reduce and/or fill in lines and wrinkles and shortly thereafter, you'll be on your way.
