JUVÉDERM

JUVÉDERM is an injectable form of hyaluronic acid that closely resembles the Hyaluronic Acid the closely resembles the body’s own natural Hyaluronic acid.. Rich in hyaluronic acid,( a substance that occurs naturally in the skin,) Restylane helps to bind water in the skin leading to improved hydration. In addition collagen and elastin production is stimulated .

What can it do for you?
When injected into the skin fine lines are smoothed away, wrinkles softened and lifted giving the skin a softer, smoother, well rested appearance.

How long does it last ?
One of the advantages of JUVÉDERM is that it is long lasting, but not permanent.
How long it lasts depends on:

• the individual
• the area being treated 
• How much is injected
• how much that area of the face moves
• the person’s genetic makeup.

For example, a cheek treatment will tend to last a year or more, mouth lines around six months and the lips may be just a few months. In addition to the above we are all unique and we all break down hyaluronic acid at different rates so every case is different.

Why use it?

Suitable for both men and women, the attraction of Juvederme is that it allows you to look younger in a totally natural way. The aim of the treatment is to give a healthier, younger looking appearance in a subtle way so that no one knows you have had the treatment done unless you tell them!

The procedure take about 30 minutes and should always be administered by a trained clinician. All treatment sessions are carried out by Consultant Plastic and reconstructive surgeon Mr Darren Lewis.

Appointments
Appointments for both Botox® and JUVÉDERM can be booked with Mr Lewis on the 2nd Monday of the month through Sheila Godfrey and the Skin Therapy Centre.
