Approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 2006, Juvederm is a revolutionary dermal filler which is utilized in treating age-related facial wrinkles and creases. This compound is injectable and contains hyaluronic acid which is a natural complex sugar manufactured by the body that aids in maintaining skin suppleness and elasticity. Juvederm is also biocompatible, which means that it can supplement the naturally produced hyaluronic acid that decreases as one grows older. Juvederm is the general name for a family of skin rejuvenation products such as Juvederm Ultra and Juvederm Ultra Plus. All of these Juvederm Manchester preparations are available for anyone over eighteen years of age desiring to reduce the amount of facial wrinkles or enhance lip volume
How Does Juvederm Work?
A predetermined amount of Juvederm transparent gel is injected with a very fine needle into the target areas of your facial skin, namely the dermis. This is the layer just below the surface of your skin which holds that connective tissues and oil glands responsible for maintaining the hydration of your skin. By lifting sagging skin and promoting volume under the wrinkled areas of your skin, Juvederm almost immediately begins to take years off your appearance by smoothing away fine lines. What makes Juvederm healthier than other dermal fillers is that after less than a year, this biocompatible product is naturally absorbed by your body’s system because your body manufactures this element in the first place!
Cost of a Juvederm Treatment
Typically, the price of a Juvederm treatment session will cost anywhere from $750 up to $1,200 for each injection. This price will mainly depend on the type and strength of the Juvederm used. Sometimes a second injection may be necessary to achieve desired results, which specialists may offer at a discount. If the cost of Juvederm injections is out of your price range but you feel it would be in your best interest to have them anyway, ask the doctor if he offers a financing or some kind of payment plan option. Insurances will not pay for this type of treatment because skin rejuvenation is not considered necessary for the health of the patient. The only occasion where Juvederm injections may be covered by health insurance is in the event of a burn victim needing skin grafts or other skin treatments.
Instead of opting for painful and lengthy surgery to eliminate deep facial folds and wrinkles, try an injection of Juvederm. It only ten or fifteen minutes and results are almost immediately visible.
