03 Feb Lip Filler – Juvéderm
Why are Lip Filler’s necessary?
There are deep layers of fat that surround the wet/dry borders of the lips. As we age the volume of fat around our lips progressively decreases giving our lips a less defined look causing the lip itself to shrink. This includes Cupid’s bow at the top of the lips which loses its natural shape and aesthetic. Along with this, the area of skin just above the lips widens out and becomes splayed and less defined. This is where Juvéderm’s amazing line of products work their magic providing great shape and hydration of the lips while looking natural.
What does Juvéderm offer and what are the sub brands?
Juvéderm is a cosmetic treatment performed to enhance the look of your face and prevent anti-ageing. Juvéderm is an injectable dermal filler with a hyaluronic acid base helping increase skin moisture and reduce wrinkles and lines. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in the human body which is included in the ingredients of the injection to add facial volume and stimulate growth of connective tissue (collagen). This ingredient is crucial to the success of Juvéderm as the production of collagen and hyaluronic acid is stunted as we get older. Dermal fillers is a non-invasive procedure typically done on the cheeks and lips and lasts from 15-60 minutes depending on the desired look.
