About Pittsburgh Juvederm
At Dr James Fernau, Aesthetic Plastic Surgery & Medical Spa in Pittsburgh, PA; Dr. James Fernau routinely utilizes Juvederm – an FDA-approved hyaluronic acid dermal filler – as a temporary (only 1-2 years) correction for facial wrinkles and folds. The Juvederm injectable, a product made by Allergan (the makers of Botox), adds volume to the face and can smooth facial wrinkles and folds, as well as lift and contour facial features. Ask us about our newest innovation of how to get the longest results with your Juvederm!
Juvederm is formulated from hyaluronic acid, a naturally-occurring substance in the body. In the body, hyaluronic acid retains water at nearly one-thousand times its weight. As a product of hyaluronic acid, Juvederm naturally fills the spaces between collagen and elastin in the skin to add smoothness and volume. At the same time, Juvederm attracts water to the tissue and keeps the skin hydrated. Juvederm is also a smoother injectable than other dermal fillers, which can result in a softer, more natural appearance.
Who May Benefit from Juvederm
Those that benefit best from Juvederm treatments are men and women who are between the ages of 30 and 65 years old and wish to reduce age lines between the eyebrows, around the edges of the eyes (crow’s feet), forehead lines, smile lines and nasolabial folds. Juvederm is a suitable choice for those not interested in more-invasive cosmetic surgery procedures such as facelifts or implants. Juvederm treatments should not be sought by women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Recovery Periods for Juvederm
Recovery times for Juvederm treatments are immediate. There may be some short-term redness or bruising around the treatment area, but patients will see immediate results and can return to normal daily activities without delay.
