Holiday Prepping with JUVÉDERM®: Enjoying a Radiant Season

As the holidays get closer, you are already thinking about all those events and parties you will likely attend. Naturally, you want to look your best, but there’s only so much you can do with generic skincare. At this point, you want a faster, longer-term effect that will make you feel much better about yourself.

Enter JUVÉDERM®, a versatile treatment that can correct various facial imperfections, from volume loss to wrinkles and fine lines. With just one treatment, you can enjoy several months of youth and rejuvenation, meaning you’ll look radiant for the upcoming season. 

What Is JUVÉDERM®?

JUVÉDERM® is an injectable dermal filler made from hyaluronic acid, a substance that naturally occurs in your body. It aims to restore lost volume caused by collagen and elastin loss, smoothing your wrinkles and enhancing your facial contour. 

The JUVÉDERM® brand is actually a collection of fillers with different thickness levels. For instance, JUVÉDERM® Ultra XC has a thinner consistency, making it efficient for fine lines, wrinkles, and lip enhancement. On the other hand, the VOLUMA™ formula is thicker and more effective for areas where you want to restore volume and structure (e.g., your cheeks and jawline). 

An appointment with Dr. D’Souza can help determine the best option for your goals.

Why JUVÉDERM® Is the Perfect Holiday Gift

The holidays are festive, and JUVÉDERM® is the gift that keeps on giving. Below are several benefits of getting this dermal filler for your holiday prepping:

1. Immediate Results

Unlike other treatments that take months to show the first results, JUVÉDERM® provides an instant change. Once the hyaluronic acid particles settle in the skin, they immediately attach themselves to water molecules, offering instant volume. The gel-like formula will add to that, with full results visible in just a few days.

2. Little Discomfort

The XC part of the JUVÉDERM® treatment means that the injectable has lidocaine in the formula, which is a numbing agent. Additionally, topical treatments can also be used to numb the area, ensuring that you do not feel any discomfort. Since the needles are very thin and the solution is injected under the skin, the risk of scarring is minimal.

3. Natural Results

JUVÉDERM® can help enhance your features without making you look “done.” Once injected, the filler will settle in its rightful place, with the injected HA filling the area just like the natural type would. Softness in the area is also maintained as the skin is smoothed out and given structure. 

4. Long-Lasting Effects

Depending on the formula, the effects of JUVÉDERM® can last between six months and one year. The thicker the formula, the more you should be able to observe the effects. This means that if you choose to get the treatment now, you can enjoy its results throughout the holiday season.

5. Stimulates Collagen

Hyaluronic acid works well on its own to restore volume, but its presence in the body can also trigger an extra production of collagen. You can enjoy long-term improvement in your skin quality even after the HA has dissipated.  

How to Time Your JUVÉDERM® Treatments

JUVÉDERM® effects are almost immediate, but timing is key – especially when you get the treatment for an event. Like any other injection, you may experience some swelling and bruising at the injection site, which is a normal reaction to your body accommodating the formula. 

It’s recommended that you plan your JUVÉDERM® appointment about two weeks before any scheduled event you may have. This gives you enough time to get over the recovery stage and enjoy peak results.
