Juvederm® is one of the most popular brands of dermal filler products available. These treatments are used to smooth moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds around the mouth, nose, and forehead, and can also be used to reduce the appearance of scars. Our Thousand Oaks Juvederm is a favorite filler for lip augmentation. If you’re in the Westlake Village and Thousand Oaks area and are interested in addressing lines and wrinkles, or achieving fuller lips, Dr. Tansavatdi can help.
Juvederm is a group of dermal fillers manufactured by Allergan. There are several different variations of the product. At Tansavatdi Facial Plastic Surgery, we provide Juvederm XC, Juvederm Voluma, Judederm Volbella, Juvederm Vollure, Juvederm Ultra, and Juvederm Ultra Plus. The variety in these products allows Dr. Tansavatdi to customize your treatment to improve your specific aesthetic concerns. Our Juvederm products include:
As we age, the hyaluronic acid in our body decreases, causing skin volume to decrease and wrinkles to occur. Juvederm is a gel that contains hyaluronic acid, which is a natural polysaccharide (sugar molecule) that occurs in the body. As we age, the hyaluron in our body—which provides strength and hydration—decreases, which means that skin volume decreases and wrinkles occur.
When Juvederm is injected into the skin, the hyaluronic acid attracts and binds to water molecules. Since each molecule can hold 1,000 times its weight in water, using Juvederm can create plump, youthful looking skin and lips. Juvederm is gradually degraded by the body’s own mechanism, and disappears without any residue.
Juvederm is administered using a fine needle, and contains lidocaine to numb the area and make the injections more comfortable. When choosing a Juvederm provider, it’s extremely important to select a medical professional with the training and experience to inject fillers in a way that flatters your face and does not look overdone. Dr. Tansavatdi is a facial surgeon who specializes in this area and had published articles about dermal fillers, and is an expert in this field. She understands the intricate muscles of the face, as well as the way skin and fillers work together to improve each patient’s specific appearance.
