If you’re dissatisfied with the appearance of facial wrinkles or folds, Juvederm® in Torrance, California, can help. It is one of many anti-aging treatments available at Beyond Beautiful. Through advanced techniques, Dr. Sherif Khattab can erase physical signs of facial aging without surgery.
Juvederm® is an FDA-approved injectable dermal filler. Its main ingredient is hyaluronic acid (HA), which attracts the water molecules under the skin. This improves skin elasticity, hydration, and definition, making Juvederm® ideal for the treatment of:
Juvederm® is safe for patients of all skin types and tones and who have realistic expectations. It is not recommended for people with active skin infections, or those who have had a previous allergic reaction to any of the ingredients in the formula.
To determine if you’re a good candidate for non-surgical facial rejuvenation with Juvederm®, you’ll need to be honest and upfront about every aspect of your health. Your consultation will include an exam, as well as a discussion of your medical history and cosmetic goals.
Prior to treatment, your face will be cleansed with an antiseptic. If you are particularly uncomfortable with injection pain, a numbing agent may be applied to the treatment areas. Using a fine needle, Dr. Khattab will carefully inject Juvederm® beneath your skin at the predetermined treatment sites.
Once injected, Juvederm® works by replacing the depleted supplies of hyaluronic acid beneath your skin. Only one treatment is needed for noticeable improvements.
Immediately following treatment, your skin may feel fuller than usual. You might also experience some temporary swelling or redness. There is no downtime required after treatment, but Dr. Khattab may recommend that you abstain from alcoholic beverages or strenuous exercise during the evening following your procedure for proper recovery.
Ideal candidates should be motivated to improve their appearance and possess realistic expectations of what Juvederm can accomplish. Juvederm is not recommended for people who have active skin infections, or those who have had a previous allergic reaction to any of the ingredients in Juvederm.
The HA will eventually be metabolized by your body, but the results can last for six months or longer. Repeat treatments will maintain your results for the long term.
The price of your Juvederm® treatment plan will depend on the particular variations of the product used and the areas of your face being treated. Future sessions will also incur an additional cost to the patient.
