There is not one single area of the face that escapes the aging process. That’s where dermal fillers come in. Dermal fillers can treat the signs of aging on different areas of the face so that you can look as young as you feel. At LA Plastic Surgery in Bradenton, FL, we offer Juvederm, a trusted collection of dermal fillers that provides an immediate, long-lasting solution to the signs of aging that appear in different areas of the face.
What Areas of the Face Can Juvederm Treat?
This brand of fillers is versatile because it can treat and improve the signs of aging in several different areas of the face. Results are long-lasting and immediate and provide those who want to enhance their features with the opportunity to do so.
The Chin
There is now a dermal filler from this collection that can treat the chin. When Juvederm XC is injected deep into the chin, it can enhance the appearance of a more aesthetically pleasing profile. Those who have always wanted to enhance or change the appearance of their chin can now do so with this FDA- approved method.
The Lips
Some people are born with very thin lips, and no amount of infomercial devices or plumping lip glosses can help. Other people experience thin lips as a result of the aging process. Whatever the case, there are two different dermal fillers from this collection that can augment the lips and define them by adding volume.
Additionally, if the aging process has caused the development of vertical wrinkles above your lips, there is a lip filler that can help treat this sign of aging and restore smooth skin to the area.
The Cheeks
One of the first areas of the face to exhibit the signs of volume loss is the cheeks. Signs that your cheeks have been affected by volume loss include drooping, sagging, and hollowness, which experts have named “age-related midfacial volume loss.” There are two different formulations from this brand that can treat the cheeks by adding volume and smoothness to the area.
Facial Lines
While you may think that lines can only be corrected by neuromodulators like Botox, dermal fillers can smooth the lines that form from volume loss by plumping the skin from the inside out. Some facial lines and wrinkles form when the skin begins to droop, and there are two different formulations from this family and fillers that can restore a smooth and supple appearance to the skin so that those lines and wrinkles disappear.
The Five Juvederm Formulations
Included within this collection of fillers are five different formulations. All of these formulations are created with hyaluronic acid, yet their particle size is different so that they can effectively treat different areas of the face. Hyaluronic acid is a substance that the body produces naturally but it begins to decrease production as the aging process occurs.
Dermal fillers replenish the hyaluronic acid deficit with a synthetic version that closely matches that which the body produces. The result is smooth skin that looks natural, subtle, and provides aesthetic enhancements to certain areas of the face. As an added benefit, these fillers contain lidocaine, which is a pain-reducing numbing agent that allows for the most comfortable experience during and after the injection process.
Treating Lines: Juvederm XC and Vollure
Lines and facial folds make you feel older than you are. Dermal fillers provide you with the opportunity to temporarily erase those lines and fillers and restore volume to the area so that you can look and feel more youthful. Both Juvederm XC and Vollure treat lines and wrinkles on the face, including parenthesis lines, smile lines, and nasolabial folds.
How Soon Will I See Results?
You will notice an immediate improvement in your facial lines and folds immediately after your treatment. Results will continue to improve in the days and weeks following your treatment as your lines and folds continue to improve and your face regains that youthful glow.
How Long Will Results Last?
You’ll experience long-lasting results when you use one of these dermal fillers. Once injected with the XC formulation, results last for up to 12 months and Vollure lasts for up to18 months. As soon as you notice that your results are beginning to gradually disappear, all you need to do is schedule a follow-up treatment so that you can maintain your wrinkle-free results.

Then, a series of injections will be administered into your problem areas with a very fine needle, providing you with immediate results. Your appointment will then be complete and you will notice an immediate difference in your appearance. Your injector will then provide you with aftercare instructions so that you get the best results possible.
