Juvederm compared to other dermal fillers

Juvederm is a brand of hyaluronic acid dermal filler. Restylane is another equally common brand of injectable hyaluronic filler. The two brands are interchangeable, but the overall products are slightly different. Most beauty salons stock both brands for patient convenience. You should focus on explaining your desired results to your doctor so that he can choose the specific product that is best suited to achieve the desired result.

There are also fillers that do not contain hyaluronic acid: Radiesse, Sculptra. All of these medications have their place, but they are used for different indications than injectable hyaluronic acid fillers.

How to behave after the procedure?

• First of all, carefully follow all medical instructions. For two weeks you cannot:
• Taking a bath that is too hot.

Subject the injection area to any mechanical and thermal effects.

• Use decorative and caring cosmetics.
• Carry out physiotherapeutic procedures in the field of correction.
• Exercise.

If possible, it is advisable to avoid sunlight and exposure to cold.

• The procedure is not performed on pregnant and lactating women, people suffering from severe systemic diseases, and patients with inflammation in the area of ​​the intended modeling. You can find out a complete list of prohibitions and the presence of individual contraindications from a specialist at our Center during a consultation.

The principle of action of the drug

Due to its low molecular weight, hyaluronic acid contained in Juvederm Voluma penetrates into the lower layers of the epidermis and accelerates the formation of collagen, thereby stimulating facial skin rejuvenation. Juvederm Voluma also fills the subcutaneous layers making the epidermis elastic. Due to this, the oval of the face improves, the skin becomes healthier in appearance, moist and elastic. The face as a whole takes on a more youthful appearance, and the color and texture of the dermis improves. Juvederm Voluma filler is very effective both in correcting contours and in general for rejuvenating the middle third of the face. After the injection you will look 5-7 years younger. Before use, we will definitely consult you and select the optimal composition and concentration to rejuvenate your face.

The power of complex influence

• The combination of Juvederm contour plastic surgery with other techniques will help enhance the effect and achieve impressive results: biorevitalization, mesotherapy, laser and elos rejuvenation, botulinum therapy and thread reinforcement of the face.

Composition of the drug

The basis of the drug is hyaluronic acid of non-animal origin. Getting into the skin, it improves its elasticity, replenishing moisture deficiency. Due to the gel-like structure, the drug is retained longer in the epidermal tissues. Thanks to this, injections are not required as often as compared to analogues from other manufacturers. The drug also contains an anesthetic substance, lidocaine, which reduces pain when the filler is inserted under the skin. The injections do not require any preliminary preparation of the patient, the injections are easy, after which the skin becomes better within 24 hours, elasticity and natural color appear.

The drug has a specific list of contraindications for use:

• Individual intolerance to one or more components of the drug.
• Pregnancy or lactation.
• Chronic diseases (ischemia, angina, diabetes mellitus, epilepsy).
• The patient's skin is susceptible to the formation of pathological scars.
• Inflammatory processes in areas where the drug is used.

Results after injections

Studies conducted with the use of the drug show the high efficiency of the filler and the retention of results for at least 18 months. In some patients, a stable effect is observed for 2 years. The timing directly depends on how correctly you follow the cosmetologist’s instructions. After the injection, it is strictly not recommended to act on the skin of the face, for example, massaging, scrubbing, applying makeup, etc. It is also recommended to refrain from visiting resorts for 2 weeks, since temperature changes (both high and low) and ultraviolet radiation cause destruction of the hyaluronic acid structure.

Juvederm cost

The price of the procedure depends on the type and amount of gel needed to eliminate cosmetic imperfections.

Let's see how much a certified drug costs without additional services.

*Please note that the cost of gels in the table is indicated without the work of the master, and therefore is not final.

The price of Juvederm tissue fillers is slightly higher than other brands of fillers. This is explained by the special composition of the drugs and ease of administration.

How is the filler administered to the patient?

First of all, each patient has an appointment with a cosmetologist, who collects all the necessary medical history data and checks whether there are any allergic reactions to the components of the drug. The skin is then deeply cleansed to remove natural oils, cosmetics and impurities. After this, local areas are treated with an antiseptic solution and markings are applied to the injection sites. After administering the filler, the cosmetologist observes the effect of the drug for some time, after which he gives instructions and recommendations for consolidating and improving the effect of the drug.

Advantages

Cosmetologists note a number of advantages that distinguish Juvederm from similar drugs. These include the following:

• variety of means - allows you to choose the most suitable option for each specific case;
• a large list of indications - drugs can solve a large number of aesthetic problems;
• effectiveness - all drugs, when used correctly, give a pronounced result;
• minimal risk of side effects - subject to compliance with the procedure protocol and sufficient qualifications of the cosmetologist;
• Duration of preservation of the result - depending on the type, fillers work from 6 to 12 months;
• compatibility of the drugs with each other and with most other dermal fillers - all products in the line can be combined, this makes it possible to solve several problems at once in one procedure.

The disadvantages include the rather high cost of the drugs.

Carrying out the procedure

Before prescribing the procedure, a consultation with a specialist is required. During it, the doctor determines the condition of the patient’s skin and defects that need to be corrected, clarifies the presence of contraindications, and if they are absent, selects the most suitable drug.

The protocol for biorevitalization or contouring using Juvederm preparations is similar to other injection procedures. It takes place in several stages:

1. Cleansing the skin, treating with a disinfectant.
2. Application anesthesia.
3. Introduction of fillers.
4. Repeated skin disinfection.
5. Application of a soothing anti-inflammatory agent.

The whole procedure takes about half an hour.

As for anesthesia, it is not always done; much depends on the drug chosen and the area of ​​correction. For example, biorevitalization with Juvederm Volite is carried out without anesthesia, since the product contains lidocaine, and its density allows the use of thin needles that minimally injure the skin.
