How Long Does Juvederm Vollure Last?

Are you unhappy with the way the natural side effects of aging are making you look? Searching for a safe, effective, and long-term solution? Our Juvederm Vollure treatments at H-MD Medical Spa in Oklahoma City, OK might be exactly what you need. Here’s everything you need to know before you visit our clinic.

How Long Does Juvederm Vollure Last?

No dermal filler can provide permanent results, but some fillers last longer than others. If you’re looking for something that’s going to last you a long time, consider getting Vollure injections. This filler can last up to 18 months depending on where exactly you are getting the injections and how well you care for your skin afterward.

What Is Juvederm Vollure?

This is an injectable dermal filler that’s applied to the desired areas of your face using a fine and precise needle. This particular formula is designed to target the folds that appear around your nose and mouth, also known as smile lines.

The main ingredient in all Juvederm formulas is hyaluronic acid. This is a sugar that you can already find in various parts of your body including your connective tissues, muscles, eyes, and, of course, your skin.

How Does It Work?

Once the product is injected into your skin, the hyaluronic acid performs several tasks. First, it takes up space underneath your skin, filling in the area and reducing or even eliminating the severity of your smile lines.

The hyaluronic acid will also stimulate your body’s natural production of collagen, a protein that helps your skin maintain its structure and elasticity.

Why Does Skin Change Over Time?

It’s natural to see changes to the texture and appearance of your skin as you get older. But what exactly does it happen in the first place? Several factors contribute to issues like wrinkling and sagging.

When you’re young, your skin contains higher levels of chemicals like hyaluronic acid and the proteins collagen and elastin. But as you get older, these levels begin to lower. This makes it harder for your skin to stay elastic. When combined with the natural effects of gravity and repeated facial movements, this is what causes wrinkles and sagging to appear on your face.

What Are the Other Types of Juvederm and What Do They Treat?

Voluma

If you are experiencing volume loss in your cheek area, then you should consider getting Voluma injections. This formula is specifically designed to add more volume to your cheeks, helping them look fuller, rounder, and more youthful.

This can also be a highly effective way to reduce the appearance of jowls that have been forming. When you fill in the cheeks, you’ll be lifting any sagging skin, smoothing out your jawline.

Volbella

The way your lips look will have a big effect on your overall appearance. Full, plump lips are often a marker of youth and health. But if you have very thin lips, this can make you look much older than you are. You can use Volbella injections to help your lips look fuller, and fill out asymmetrical lips.

It can also help reduce the appearance of lipstick lines, which are the little vertical lines that appear on your lips as the skin loses volume and elasticity. This will make you look much younger and healthy.

What Happens During Treatment?

How to Prepare

If you are going to get Juvederm Vollure injections, there are a few things you’ll need to do to prepare for your appointment. When you come to our clinic, we will make sure that you know everything you need to do before you get your injections.

Some of our instructions may include avoiding substances like alcohol and tobacco since these can thin your blood and make you more likely to bruise around the injection sites. You should avoid these for at least 24 to 48 hours before your appointment, along with supplements like fish oil for the same reason.

Your Appointment

When you arrive at our clinic for your appointment, we will do everything we can to make your experience as comfortable and pleasant as possible. We’ll begin by carefully cleaning your skin to keep your injection sites safe. We will also mark the areas where you’ll receive the injections.

Once your skin is ready, we can begin. We will apply multiple injections of Vollure, using small amounts at a time to help us ensure accuracy. The entire treatment process is fast, usually taking less than an hour. It’s also painless, and you can leave the clinic immediately after it’s done.

What Is Recovery Like?

Because this filler is a non-invasive treatment option to get younger-looking skin, recovery is extremely easy. You can get back to your regular life as soon as your appointment is finished as long as you remember to avoid a few things.

Your skin will be much more sensitive during this time, so avoid staying out in direct sunlight as you can burn much more easily. For the next few days, you’ll also need to continue avoiding alcohol and tobacco. You should not perform any physical activity that’s particularly exertive or that could cause excessive sweating.
