When I decided to start dating again after the loss of my husband, it occurred to me that I needed to do what I could to look a little better. I began working harder at the gym and focusing on doing my hair, and it really seemed to make a visible difference. Within a few months, I felt like I was looking better and feeling like myself, and I was impressed with how much help beauty and fashion blogs were. I wanted to begin my own website dedicated to beauty, so check out these great posts to make your next event easier to get ready for.
Four Reasons To Choose Juvederm Over Other Wrinkle Treatments
If you have facial wrinkles that you're tired of seeing whenever you look in the mirror, then it's time to take action. There are so many wrinkle treatment options out there today, from creams, to surgical procedures, to injections. One wrinkle treatment, however, really stands out from the crowd and offers a lot of benefits for patients. Juvederm, a hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler, is that treatment. Here are four reasons to choose Juvederm over other wrinkle treatments.
Results are immediate.
With some wrinkle treatments, like chemical peels and laser resurfacing, your face looks worse before it gets better. Who wants to deal with itchy, red, peeling skin for a week after a chemical peel? With Juvederm, the results are immediate. You might have some slight swelling and redness in the day or two following your injections, but this will be minimal and you can safely cover it with makeup until it fades away.
Juvederm contains ingredients your body is used to.
Some wrinkle treatments are made from foreign agents that may cause a negative reaction in your body. Collagen injections, for example, are sometimes made with bovine collagen, which can cause allergic reactions in some patients. Juvederm, however, relies on hyaluronic acid, a substance found naturally in your body, for its effects. Your skin naturally makes hyaluronic acid, but it starts making less of it as you get older, which contributes to the development of wrinkles. Injecting hyaluronic acid is just replacing what your skin is no longer making itself.
Juvederm injections aren't painful.
Usually, your doctor will apply a numbing cream to your skin before administering the injections. Even if he or she were not to do this, the injections cause minimal pain because the needle used is so small. It will take a couple of injections to treat a larger area, but the process is over quickly. Other wrinkle treatments, like chemical peels, are associated with a lot more discomfort.
Juvederm is long-lasting.
Wrinkle creams may make your face look better, but as soon as you stop using them, the results fade. Botulinum toxin injections only last a couple of months, as do chemical peel results. Juvederm, however, usually lasts patients at least six months, and often as long as 12 months. This means you don't have to go to the doctor for re-treatment as often, which will save you money in comparison to other wrinkle treatment options.
