JUVÉDERM® in Dallas, TX

Juvederm is a hyaluronic acid-based filler that is injected into the skin to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, restore volume to the face, and enhance facial features. Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally produced by the body, making Juvederm a safe and effective choice for most patients. Juvederm is available in different formulations, each designed to address specific concerns.

Juvederm works by filling in wrinkles and fine lines, restoring volume to the face, and enhancing facial features. It is injected directly into the skin, where it adds volume and improves the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. The results are immediate, and they can last up to 18 months, depending on the specific formulation used.

Juvederm is a great choice for anyone looking to improve the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, restore volume to the face, and enhance facial features. It is safe and effective for most patients, and our team will work with you to determine the best formulation for your unique needs and goals.

Juvederm can be used to address a wide range of concerns, including:

• Wrinkles and fine lines
• Lost volume in the cheeks, temples, and other areas
• Thin or uneven lips
• Nasolabial folds (the lines that run from the nose to the corners of the mouth)
• Marionette lines (the lines that run from the corners of the mouth to the chin)

There are several different types of Juvederm fillers, each designed to address specific concerns:

• Juvederm XC: Used to smooth out moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds
• Juvederm Voluma: Used to add volume to the cheeks and other areas of the face
• Juvederm Volbella: Used to enhance the lips and smooth out lines around the mouth
• Juvederm Vollure: Used to smooth out moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds

Now, let's talk about Juvederm Volux and Volux XC. These innovative fillers are designed specifically for use in the chin and jawline area, creating a more defined and sculpted appearance. Juvederm Volux is a thicker formulation, ideal for those with more significant volume loss in the chin and jawline area. Juvederm Volux XC is a slightly thinner formulation, designed for those with less volume loss or who want a more subtle enhancement.

Both Juvederm Volux and Volux XC are made with VYCROSS technology, which allows for smoother and longer-lasting results. They are also both made with lidocaine, a local anesthetic, to minimize discomfort during treatment.

At Mara's Med Spa, we will work with you to determine the best Juvederm formulation for your specific needs and goals.

Before your Juvederm treatment, it's important to avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements, such as aspirin and fish oil, for a few days. You should also avoid alcohol and tobacco, as these can increase the risk of complications. Our team will provide you with detailed instructions on how to prepare for your treatment.

Most patients report minimal discomfort during their Juvederm treatment. Our team will apply a topical numbing cream to help minimize any discomfort you may experience.

There is minimal downtime after a Juvederm treatment. You may experience some swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection site, but this typically resolves within a few days.

First and foremost, it's important to avoid touching the treated area for at least 24 hours after your Juvederm treatment. This can cause the filler to move and may result in an uneven appearance. You should also avoid applying makeup or other products to the treated area for at least 24 hours.

It's also important to avoid strenuous exercise for at least 24 hours after your treatment, as this can increase blood flow and cause the filler to move. Similarly, you should avoid sun exposure and heat, such as saunas or hot tubs, for at least 24 hours after your treatment.

Finally, be sure to follow any additional instructions provided by your injector. They may recommend specific products to use or avoid, as well as any other precautions you should take to ensure optimal results.

While both treatments can help you achieve a more youthful and refreshed appearance, they work in different ways.

Dermal fillers like Juvederm are made of hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the body that helps hydrate and plump the skin. When injected into specific areas of the face, dermal fillers can restore lost volume, smooth out wrinkles and fine lines, and enhance facial contours.

On the other hand, neurotoxins like Botox and Dysport work by relaxing the muscles that cause wrinkles and lines to form. These treatments are often used to target areas like the forehead, crow's feet, and frown lines between the eyebrows.

So which treatment is right for you? It depends on your specific concerns and goals. If you're looking to restore volume and smooth out wrinkles, dermal fillers like Juvederm may be the best option. If you're more concerned with preventing the formation of new wrinkles and lines, neurotoxins like Botox or Dysport may be more appropriate.
