Radiant, dewy skin is now no longer the privilege of those in their twenties and below. Thanks to advances in science and medicine, especially cosmetic procedures and treatments, you can now have young, healthy looking skin even in your later years. One of the most popular of these methods is Juvederm and Juvederm Twenty- Nine Palms is a very popular treatment. Skin goes through many changes as we get older. Cells divide slower. The dermis, or lower layer of skin, gets thinner. It is comprised of several different types of tissue, including elastin and collagen. Elastin gives the skin its elasticity, and collagen keeps the skin taut. Eventually both of these proteins begin to break down, causing the skin to loosen. The loss of elasticity makes the skin and underlying tissue more susceptible to the effects of gravity. Instead of springing back when pulled, the skin sags. Additionally, the muscle and tissue composition under the skin changes, leading to wrinkles. Young, healthy-looking skin contains an abundance of a naturally hydrating substance called hyaluronic acid (HA). But as you age, sunlight and other factors can reduce the amount of HA in your skin. The lack of HA causes your skin to lose structure and volume, creating unwanted facial wrinkles and folds - like those parentheses lines around your nose and mouth. Using a dermal filler like Juvederm is a safe and effective way to replace the HA your skin has lost, bringing back its volume and smoothing away facial wrinkles and folds. Juvederm products are a smooth consistency gel, compared to some hyaluronic gel products that have a granular consistency. Juvederm products are developed using the Hylacross technology to allow a smoother, malleable gel. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring sugar found in the body. Hyaluronic acid works by holding in water at the injection site and acting as a cushioning agent. It adds temporary volume and a smoother appearance to skin. Most patients need one treatment to achieve optimal results. Juvederm can also: • Smooth facial creases of the forehead and brow • Plump the eyebrows or temporal region • Smooth under eye hollows • Enhance the lips and define a cupid’s bow • Enhance volume and define contours of the cheeks, chin and jawline • Soften the appearance of scars and other depressed defects • Soften the appearance of bony hands As with any type of cosmetic surgery or procedure there are certain precautions which should be taken. Juvederm injectable gel should not be injected into blood vessels. If there is an active inflammatory process or infection at specific injection sites, treatment should be deferred until the underlying process is controlled. Juvederm 29 Palms , and everywhere else, should only be administered under the supervision of a licensed health care practitioner. Patients should inform their physician if they are using substances that may prolong bleeding or bruising, such as aspirin, or ibuprofen, or naproxen. Inflammation may occur at the treatment site if laser treatment, chemical peeling, or any other dermal procedure is performed after 29 Palms Juvederm treatments.
