Nasolabial folds are the lines that connect the corners of your mouth to the sides of your nose. Age, genetics, and environmental factors can deepen these folds, making them more pronounced. As skin ages, it loses elasticity and volume, causing these creases to become more apparent. While they are a natural part of aging, many seek ways to minimize their appearance for a fresher, more youthful look. Read on and discover what nasolabial folds are and how Juvederm affects them.
Juvederm is a dermal filler targeting areas with volume loss, such as nasolabial folds. Its main component, hyaluronic acid, is naturally found in the skin, which makes it practical and safe for restoring lost volume and smoothing out deep lines. When injected beneath the skin, Juvederm plumps up the area, reducing the shadowing that makes these folds noticeable and results in a smoother transition from the nose to the mouth.
A Juvederm treatment is relatively quick and can be completed in a practitioner’s office. A fine needle is used to inject the filler into targeted areas. Most patients report mild discomfort during the procedure, often mitigated by numbing creams or the pain-relieving properties mixed into the Juvederm formula. The procedure requires precision and a thorough understanding of facial anatomy to ensure natural-looking results.
After receiving Juvederm injections, patients can return to their daily activities immediately. Some may experience mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site, but these side effects usually subside quickly. The results of facial fillers are visible almost immediately and can last up to a year or more, depending on the specific formulation used and individual skin characteristics.
To maintain the smooth appearance provided by Juvederm, periodic follow-up treatments are recommended. The body naturally breaks down hyaluronic acid over time, so these maintenance sessions help to preserve the volume and keep the nasolabial folds at bay. In addition to follow-up treatments, a good skincare routine and healthy lifestyle choices can support and extend the results.
Now that you know more about nasolabial folds and the rejuvenating effects of Juvederm, you can make informed decisions about whether this treatment suits you. With the help of a qualified practitioner, you can achieve a naturally youthful appearance that aligns with your aesthetic goals.
