Juvederm is an injectable treatment that can help you rejuvenate your skin by filling up the wrinkle areas. Besides enhancing your skin’s smoothness, this treatment also provides volume to your skin making it look younger and wrinkle free. As it is a non-surgical treatment the negative effects, post taking the injections, are minimum and so is the recovery time. Generally in treatments that involve surgical procedures, it may take hours for the treatment and days to get back to normal life. But in Juvederm treatment, you can resume to your normal life immediately after taking the injections.

Great article in ArticlesRX today about Juvederm:
For a facelift that requires no surgery, consider talking to you doctor about JUVEDERM. A few strategically placed injections will eliminate wrinkles, restore youthful skin, and instantly plump sagging areas like the skin around your cheeks bones or jaw line. You’ll leave your appointment feeling refreshed and looking years younger!
Benefits of This Treatment Option
JUVEDERM is designed to soften smile lines that typically appear between the corners of the nose and the outer edges of your mouth, reduce mouth lines which tend to form below the edges of your mouth and give the face a sad or angry appearance, diminish static lines which can be seen even when your face holds no expression, and lessen the appearance of smoker’s lines caused by sun damage, smoking, or heredity. It can also be used to restore fullness in your cheeks, lips or chin.
Steps for Treatment
If any of your friends have had this type of face rejuvenation treatment done in the past, be sure to ask about their experience. It’s always good to get reviews and opinions from others who’ve been through the treatment before!
Once you’ve decided that it’s time to find out if you qualify for JUVEDERM treatment, you’ll need to make an appointment with a cosmetic doctor. He’ll review your medical history including prescription medications that you’re currently taking and any allergies you may have. Your doctor will examine your face to choose which product or combination of products will work best for you, and he’ll probably take some before pictures so you can see what a difference your injectable facelift will provided!
Your treatment appointment will be so simple that you can schedule it during your lunch hour at work or during your kids’ sports program after school. You’ll be able to continue on with your normal daily schedule right after your appointment! Your doctor may apply a topical anesthesia to keep you comfortable during the injections, and then he’ll apply the wrinkle-filling treatment. This anti-aging treatment takes anywhere from fifteen minutes to one hour, depending on the areas you’re having filled.
After your JUVEDERM treatment, your doctor will probably recommend that you avoid strenuous exercise, time out in the sun, or drinking alcoholic beverages. These are just precautions to avoid side effects like redness, itching, swelling, pain, firmness, or a bumpy surface on the skin. If you do experience any of these side effects, they should resolve on their own in about a week.
Some Safety Notes
Since this treatment is made from a naturally-occurring substance the body produces, it’s generally safe for most patients. Some who have severe allergic reactions like anaphylaxis or multiple severe allergies may want to avoid this product.
To avoid side effects like bruising or bleeding, those who regularly take medications like aspirin or ibuprofen should check with their doctor to see if they can stop treatment for a week or so before the procedure. Since JUVEDERM is an injection treatment, there’s always the risk of infection, especially for those with low immune systems.

LATISSE® solution is a prescription treatment for hypotrichosis used to grow eyelashes, making them longer, thicker and darker. Eyelash hypotrichosis is another name for having inadequate or not enough eyelashes.
LATISSE® works from the inside out. As the treatment progresses, you’ll first begin to see changes in length. Then, gradually, you’ll notice more thickness and darkness in your lashes. If you’re satisfied with your results by week 8, don’t stop there. Stick with the treatment. After week 16, you’ll see the full effect of LATISSE® solution — and so will others.
Latisse is currently available at Dermatique for $99 a kit Call to schedule a consultation 805-230-1111
