Juvederm Treatments in Kelowna

Juvederm™

What is Juvederm™?

Juvederm™ is a new, collagen-based, soft-tissue filler treatment to naturally remove wrinkles, lines, and folds. It is administered by injection, and used with an anesthetic cream to minimize discomfort and pain. The treatment usually only takes between 30 and 60 minutes, and the results are visible immediately.

JUVEDERM™ is intended for correction of:

• wrinkles
• nasolabial folds (smile lines)
• scars
• atrophy from disease or trauma
• defects secondary to rhinoplasty, skin graft or other surgically-induced irregularities
• other soft tissue defects or deficiencies

Juvederm™ features a unique Glymatrix™ technology, which effectively mimics the action of the body’s own collagen – providing the strength and elasticity found in young skin, yet breaking down slowly and naturally over time, leaving no harmful residue.

Juvederm™ is derived from the most ‘biocompatible’ sources. It utilizes collagen that most closely resembles human tissue and is therefore very unlikely to cause any adverse reaction or be ‘rejected’ by the body. Juvederm uses the same biological source material that has been used in heart, dental, and eye surgery for decades.

Why choose Juvederm?

During the natural aging process, the collagen layer which supports your skin gradually diminishes, giving rise to wrinkles, lines, and folds.

Juvederm restores your natural youthful appearance by replenishing the lost collagen, adding volume, and smoothing away unwelcome wrinkles.

How it works

Juvederm is injected just below the skin’s surface, where it replenishes lost collagen and adds support to your skin’s own remaining collagen network. It restores shape and smoothes away wrinkles, lines, and folds, quickly and effectively, to give your skin texture a soft even tone.

How long does it last?

Juvederm has set a new standard for the longevity of collagen treatments, restoring the skin’s tone for at least 12 months. This means repeat procedures may not be needed for at least a year – unlike other treatments that tend to need repeating 2 or 3 times a year. Most importantly, the visible effect of the improved facial contour is maintained throughout the 12 month period.
