Dear Dr. Prabhu: I maintain a healthy, natural diet, exercise regularly and avoid unnecessary exposure to the sun. I am happy my appearance with one exception, some superficial wrinkles which some people call smile lines have appeared on my face. Is there a treatment solution for my wrinkles, which is toxin free and easily applied.
Answer: No matter how well you maintain your general health, as you age your skin will begin to lose its elasticity, creating annoying lines and wrinkles. Recently a new treatments using fillers such as Juvederm, have been developed as miracle compounds for filling wrinkles.
Question: What is Juvederm made of and how does it work?

Question: How is Juvederm applied?
Answer: Juvederm is applied with a simple injection that will fill in your facial lines. A local anaesthetic is offered to make the treatment more comfortable. The procedure takes less than an hour and you will be able to return to your social and working life immediately.
Question: How long do the effects of the treatment last?
Answer: The effects of Juvederm usually last between to six to nine months. This time frame varies depending on skin type, areas that are treated, amounts injected and the injection technique. In some cases the results may last longer.
Question: Are there other uses for this treatment?
Answer: Yes. Juvederm is also an excellent volume enhancer which, when injected into the cheeks, gives a gentle lift to the skin. It can also be used to augment your lips making them more sensual and is an ideal product to smooth out imperfections such as scars
