When a person begins to grow older, their skin and the underlying tissues take on many changes that can cause them to look much older than they actually are. Unfortunately, this can make a person feel self-conscious about their appearance. In the past, a person would have to go under the knife to improve the appearance of their skin. Although effective, these procedures often caused scarring and health risks. Thankfully, there is a new procedure that is minimally invasive and does not carry the risks of plastic surgery procedures. In a matter of minutes, a person can receive the treatment they need for younger-looking skin.
Those who go in for Juvederm Waimea will first have a topical numbing cream placed on the areas that will be treated. The doctor will mark the areas that need to be treated for a precise application. Juvederm is a treatment option that features hyaluronic acid. This acid is produced naturally in the body so there is no reason for allergy testing to be performed. The injection process only takes about five to ten minutes, depending on the areas being treated.
Once the procedure has been carried out, the hyaluronic acid begins to absorb great amounts of fluid so the area is plumped and filled in. This treatment can be used to fill in lines and wrinkles and plump up hollowed out areas that occur in the aging process. It can also be used to plump the lips and cheek areas. Most people report only minor stinging and redness after the procedure with no major side-effects.
Filler results tend to last up to twelve months and the treatment will then need to be carried out again. As the correction fades, the skin will eventually go back to the way it was before treatment so most patients have the procedure carried out yearly.
