Juvederm® hyaluronic acid fillers offer a safe and non-invasive way to eliminate moderate to severe wrinkling across the face. Rather than paying for costly and invasive facelift procedures, people can use this innovative filler to plump loose, sagging skin and get rid of deep, facial creases. These procedures are short, safe and simple enough to be completed during a lunch break. Also, there is minimal recovery time , nd the results are instant.

What Juvederm® is and Why It Works

Juvederm® is a gel comprised of a naturally occurring acid called hyaluronic acid. This gel is injected directly into the facial tissues in areas in which noticeable wrinkling and creasing exist. It instantly plumps the targeted area, fills in fine lines and wrinkles and creates a smooth and youthful-looking visage. Given that hyaluronic acid is naturally present within the body, it is also easily recognized and thus, gradually absorbed.

Due to this fact, Juvederm® is only a temporary solution to the outward signs of aging and this means that injections must be repeated. Juvederm® injections typically last nine months to one year and can be safely repeated as necessary.

Scheduling a Consultation Appointment

Although Juverderm® injections are relatively non-invasive and do not entail any tissue removal or cutting, certain medications can increase your risk of bruising at each injection site. These include all non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or NSAIDs such as aspirin and Ibuprofen among others.

It is important to talk with your provider about any prescribed or store-bought medications that you’re currently taking during your consultation appointment. It is generally advised that NSAIDs and other products that can interfere with Juvederm® treatments be stopped two to three weeks before this procedure is performed.

You should also talk with the provider about any past facial treatments that you have received as these may impact your candidacy for this procedure. Together, you and your doctor can review your cosmetic goals and the type, location and severity of your facial wrinkling. Your provider will also describe each step of the Juvederm® treatment process and answer any questions that you might have.

What to Expect on the Day of Your Appointment

Juvederm® procedures are fast given that most professionals can complete all of the necessary injections in well under an hour. A gel containing hyaluronic acid will be injected into your facial tissues in all areas in which visible creating exists. Juvederm® can be used to eliminate laugh lines, fine lines around the eyes and forehead or brow wrinkles.

After Juvederm® Treatment

There is minimal downtime with this procedure. After the injections are complete, you will be free to go and can immediately resume your normal activities. Juvederm® produces instant results and thus, you can look forward to an immediate renewal of your youthful, line-free visage. Contact Pristine Med Spa today to schedule your appointment.

Getting Fuller Lips with Lip Injections

Getting Fuller Lips with Lip Injections

The lips tend to become narrower and lose their fullness as the years go by. They don’t retain as much moisture, and the effects of gravity pull down on the facial skin. An injection treatment is often the best way to plump the lips and give them back their youthful, curved appearance.

We suggest lip augmentation using lip injections as a simple outpatient treatment for the problem of thin, wrinkling lips. This procedure is non-invasive and can be completed in less than an hour.

It is also repeatable at regular intervals. If you are concerned about the shape of your lips and desire a greater amount of lip volume, consider a plumping treatment.

Types of Injectable Fillers

Collagen stimulators were more commonly used in decades past and are still offered at Pristine Med Spa and Laser Center .

Nowadays, injection fillers are most often made with hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid draws moisture from the surrounding tissues.

What to Expect

You don’t have to prepare for this procedure regarding diet or fluid intake. The acid will do the job using the moisture already present in the adjacent tissues.

In fact, the acid will attract moisture from your lymphatic system, as water you normally take in is drawn to the area where the acid is injected.

At Pristine Med Spa and Laser Center in Ridgecrest, we perform an examination of the lips when we consult with our clients. The amount of filler injection used depends on the shape of the lips and whether one or both lips are to be treated.

Benefits of the Treatment

Not only do the lips become fuller and begin to regain their youthful curve and shape, but they also smooth out. This is good news for those who notice a change in the lip texture when they smile, frown or purse their lips.

The amount of acid injected is easily controlled, so a client can see initial results and decide whether to undergo subsequent treatments using more or less of the filler.

Allergic reactions are very uncommon, and we ask about allergic history and any medications being taken before we perform any filler injection procedure.

Get the Facts About Lip Injections

There are many different products on the market that can help you achieve fuller, more rounded lips. However, we strongly urge you to have the injections performed by a licensed professional.
