Juvederm Hesperia
The human face is one of the first places that age begins to show itself. With the passage of time and plenty of frowning and smiling, lines begin to show on our faces. They usually start out as temporary lines that disappear when we are at rest but gradually become permanent and then more pronounced over time. No one can stop time from moving forward but thanks to modern medicine there are cosmetic treatments that can revitalize the skin of the face, allowing people to look years younger and more vivacious. One such treatment is Hesperia Juvederm.
What Is Juvederm?
As opposed to Botox which is a refined byproduct of the bacterium bacterium Clostridium botulinum, Juvederm is an injectable filler designed to eliminate lines and wrinkles on the face. Juvederm works to replace the hyaluronic acid that human skin loses with age. In doing so wrinkles and lines, especially those on the brow and forehead disappear. The secret to Juvederm is a manufacturing process known as Hylacross technology. This process is what gives the filler it’s smooth consistency.

Dermal Fillers for Hollow Under-Eyes
As we age, hollowness can affect the entire under-eye area to the upper cheeks or the small area directly below the eyes, known as the tear trough. In addition, the under-eye area can become hollowed due to several factors such as genetics, volume loss, or even environment and health factors such as excessive sun exposure or unhealthy habits like smoking. Whatever the cause, there is an easy and effective way to reduce the appearance of under-eye hollows and achieve a more restored, rejuvenated, and youthful look to the eyes and face.
Under-eye fillers reverse the noticeable signs of aging due to hollowness. One of the most popular uses for Hyaluronic acid fillers is relieving tired, sunken eyes that age your appearance. If you struggle with sunken, hollow under-eyes, fillers can help reverse the signs of aging and reduce the hollow look.
Fillers are minimally invasive and require little to no downtime. The best part, they achieve immediate results. Patients who commit to under-eye fillers see a visible, instant improvement in tired, sunken under eyes. Health First Medical is proud to now offer under-eye fillers to our patients. You can reduce fine lines and wrinkles, improve facial symmetry, and enhance the lips and cheeks, but they can also reduce deep indentations under the eyes.
Seeing And Maintaining Results
Juvederm patients normally begin to see noticeable results just as soon as the swelling that may accompany injections subsides; generally speaking this is two to three weeks post treatment. Once results become visible they are usually dramatic results and patients report looking years younger at this stage of treatment.
Like all anti-aging treatments, Juvederm is a temporary solution, albeit an effective one, to a permanent problem. Most patients that discontinue treatments report that their lines and wrinkles become noticeable again anywhere from 9 to 12 months from their last treatment. Most professionals recommend patients return for follow up injections prior to that time frame so as to preserve their smooth and more youthful appearance.

Is Juvederm Safe?
Juvederm has been deemed safe by the FDA and is used as a soft tissue filler in additional medical procedures, particularly those associated with HIV treatments. Of course, as is the case with all medicine, some patients will experience some minor side effects. Fortunately the redness, bruising, and itching sometimes associated with Juvederm is minor and lasts no more than a few days.
Dermal Fillers FAQs
Juvederm XC helps replace the HA your skin has lost, adding volume to smooth away facial wrinkles and folds. Juvederm XC achieves its smooth consistency due to an innovative manufacturing process called HYLACROSS technology.
HYLACROSS gives Juvederm XC its unique smooth-gel properties as well as robust gel structure that holds up over time. That’s why Juvederm XC is the first smooth-consistency HA gel and the only HA filler that’s FDA approved *to last up to 1 year with only 1 treatment.
Although Juvederm is safe, as is the case with anything else, there are sometimes side effects to consider. In the case of Juvederm however the most severe side effects reported are mild swelling, tenderness, or itching at injection sites. These side effects typically do not last more than a few days but make remain for up to one week. In addition to side effects patients should avoid strenuous exercise immediately following treatment as well as excessive exposure to both the sun and heat. Ignoring these suggestions may result in swelling and temporary redness. Women whom wear makeup will also want to consult with our in house physician in order to determine when it is once more safe to apply cosmetics.
