https://www.lavendermedspa.com/the-benefits-of-juvaderm-treatment/#respond Wed, 03 May 2017 12:01:38 +0000 https://www.lavendermedspa.com/?p=159 It’s safe to say that most of us don’t like what aging does to our bodies. Along with feeling more aches and pains every day, our skin—particularly on our face—doesn’t appear as healthy as it used to be. That said, when we see older celebrities in tabloids or mass media, it looks like they haven’t aged a day. What gives?

While there may be many tricks up their sleeve, one treatment that they may be using is called Juvaderm. Juvaderm is a skin treatment that can lift your cheekbones, conceal lines around your mouth, plump your lips, and much more. If you want to look better as you age, yet you don’t know exactly how to do it, you may want to spend some time considering this treatment. It may be one of the best decisions that you make this year.

Juvaderm: The Basics

While Juvaderm can help you with a variety of skin treatments, you may be wondering how Juvaderm works its magic. Juvaderm itself is a group of fillers that are injected into your skin. The fillers themselves are made of FDA-approved hyaluronic acid, and there are different types of fillers that you can choose from. For instance, Juvaderm Vollure XC adds fullness and plump thin lips to your face while Juvaderm Volume XC lifts and defines the cheekbones. There are other available fillers, so you will want to do your research and speak with a skincare professional to find the best filler for you.

Once you select the relevant filler (or fillers), you will go to your skincare professional to obtain a Juvaderm injection. The injection itself can take about 15 to 60 minutes. General anesthesia is not required in order to receive Juvaderm injections, but some skincare professionals may choose to apply some topical anesthesia to make you more comfortable. Once you receive your injection, you may experience some mild bruising and swelling for up to two weeks. You can lessen your chances of these side effects, however, by avoiding things like aspirin, alcohol, and fish oils before your Juvaderm appointment. After your injection, you must also avoid exercise for several days to mitigate any potential swelling.

Critically, there is one factor that we haven’t discussed here. That is how long the treatment lasts. Compared to other facial skin treatments, Juvaderm has more longevity. Specifically, it can last from six to twelve months. The precise amount of time depends on factors like the size and location of the injected area, how much of the Juvaderm was actually used, and how quickly the individual patient metabolizes the product. 

An Investment Into Our Look

As we age, one of the most frustrating things is that our perception of how we should look doesn’t match up with reality. The good news, though, is that we don’t have to accept the reality. One of the effective steps that we can take is investing in Juvaderm treatment. While it may not be for everyone, Juvaderm can be a great choice in correcting any imperfections that you see on your face. Ultimately, do your research, speak with a skincare professional, and make the best choice for you.

Laser hair removal is especially popular because it can do a great job in eliminating your body hair.

Whether or not you have considered laser hair removal, however, you want to make sure that the treatment is actually successful. Yes, the success of the treatment is overwhelmingly in the hands of the professional, but there are several steps that you can take to increase your odds of success. Below, we have described those steps. While they can’t guarantee success in each case, we encourage you to follow these steps before your next laser hair removal appointment.

Steps For Success in Laser Hair Removal

First, a critical thing that you should keep in mind is to provide your medical history to the office where you are seeking laser hair removal treatment. This treatment is generally safe, but it is always helpful to deliver your health history to your laser treatment professional before beginning treatment. This can not only avoid any potential complications from the treatment, but it can help start a dialogue with your laser treatment professional.

Next, take some time to prepare for each laser hair removal session. This requires you to do several things. Stay out of the sun before going to your appointment. Avoid indoor tanning as well. You want to avoid these sources of light because the laser itself is designed to target pigment. Therefore, if your skin is darker due to tanning, for instance, the laser will be more drawn to the darker pigment rather than the hair follicle itself.

Besides staying out of the sun, you also should shave the lasered areas before showing up to your appointment. While your laser treatment professional may do this when you arrive, it is simply easier to do it on your own. Shaving the lasered areas makes the treatment much more effective, as you are removing any potential source that the laser may inadvertently target. Critically, you do not want to wax the affected area since waxing removes both the on-the-surface hair and underlying hair follicle. If you recently waxed, you should wait at least two weeks to obtain laser hair removal. Once the treatment is complete, you want to avoid hot showers and apply sunscreen. This is pretty self-explanatory, but you want to do this to ensure that your skin isn’t irritated after the treatment. 

Finally, you will need to stay consistent to see the best results. Experts recommend that you obtain treatment every month for about 12 to 18 months. From there, you will only need to obtain treatment one or two times per year. The bottom line? Without consistency, you will see hairs start to reemerge on the treated areas.

A Great Way to Remove Hair

Laser hair removal is popular for a reason. It can be just the tool to remove unwanted hair on nearly every part of your body. That said, to see the best results, we recommend that you follow all of the best practices above. Doing so will provide you with more satisfying results.

While you may have had mixed success with these methods, you may be looking for something more. Specifically, you may be searching for a hair removal option that is effective and causes little pain.

Because of this, you may want to look further into dermaplaning. Dermaplaning can be an extremely compelling option if you want to efficiently remove hair from your face. While this treatment has been somewhat trendy in recent years, it has been effectively removing hair for some time. Granted, it may not be the best choice for every single patient, but it could be the perfect solution for you.

An Introduction to Dermaplaning

Essentially, dermaplaning is a hair removal process where a trained professional removes the dead layer of skin and hair from the face. The professional does this by using a sterile surgical scalpel to shave off the top layer of your skin, the dead skin layer, and vellus hair (which is also known as peach fuzz).

You may be wondering: “how does this actually make my skin look better?” By removing these three layers, you can remove clogged follicles and pores. Doing this will even out your skin, leaving you with skin that is brighter, fresher, and smoother. Not only that, but skin products that you may use are more easily able to penetrate your skin, making them more effective.

The procedure itself is quite simple and painless. It does not require any numbing cream. Your medical professional will simply cleanse and dry the skin, pull the skin, and then use short, swift strokes to scrape off the dead layer of skin and hair from your face. While it may seem scary, the procedure is, once again, painless. But having said this, you want to ensure that you are consulting a trusted medical professional for this procedure.

There are no prerequisites to dermaplaning. It is an option for all skin types—including those who have dry skin, sun damage, or wrinkles. Ultimately, one of the best things about dermaplaning is that results are immediate. It is a quick procedure and you can quickly see the difference.

Dermaplaning results can last for up to four weeks. To maintain the results, however, you will need to schedule consistent treatments into the future. Experts recommend that you schedule appointments for every three to four weeks, as this allows your skin to complete its natural rejuvenation cycle. Essentially, the results don’t last as long as other options because your actual hairs are not being removed from the root.

A Compelling Option

Dermaplaning can be an interesting and compelling option for those who want a cleaner look. It is a quick, painless process that can lead to some real results in your skin. While this is not a one-off treatment (you need to receive the same treatment every three or four weeks), it can go a long way to helping you look like the way you want to look.

It can provide us with some much-needed confidence in our personal and professional lives. Having said that, wanting to have healthy skin and actually obtaining healthy skin are two different things.

While there are several different methods or treatments you can use, we recommend that you think about microneedling. Microneedling is an extremely popular skin rejuvenation service that can help resurface your skin. Regardless of the size or location of the rejuvenated area, you may want to place some serious thought into obtaining this treatment.

Microneedling: Benefits and Aftercare

If you haven’t yet heard of microneedling, it is a skin rejuvenation procedure that uses a small pen of so-called “micro” needles to puncture the top layer of your skin. By penetrating that top layer, the needles—moving at 5,000 to 8,000 revolutions per minute—stimulate your collagen, which is responsible for your skin elasticity.

Essentially, it is like working out your muscles. Applying slight trauma and stress to your skin releases growth factors that can lead to cosmetic benefits. By stimulating your skin’s collagen, microneedling can reduce the appearance of things like stretch marks, wrinkles, and scars. Along with this, microneedling can provide reduce blackheads and hyperpigmentation, exfoliate your skin, treat acne and cystic acne, and even your skin tone and skin texture.

Even though it does involve needles, microneedling is not excessively painful. About 15 or 30 minutes before undergoing the microneedling process, you would have an anesthetic cream applied to the skin. A hydrating serum is also applied during and after the procedure so that you are comfortable. While some recipients state that microneedling can cause a mild stinging sensation, most report little (if any) pain.

Most patients make a full recovery 24 hours after the procedure. That said, some have reported some dryness and slight flaking in those hours. It is also recommended that patients do not exercise and avoid exposure to the sun three days after the treatment. Finally, they should not exfoliate for 14 days after the procedure.

While patients will typically see results after one treatment, more treatments may be necessary. For instance, if you are trying to repair pre-existing damage, you will likely need more than one treatment (perhaps three to six treatments). If, on the other hand, you want to brighten an already healthy complexion, one treatment will likely be sufficient.

A Promising Treatment

Ultimately, if are looking to rejuvenate your skin or correct some sort of skin issue that you are experiencing, we recommend that you look into microneedling. Microneedling, as we discussed above, can offer a wealth of skin benefits with little to no pain. 

As before pursuing any treatment, however, it is important to do your research. Also consider speaking with your dermatologist, as he or she will be able to offer more insights on microneedling. By completing your due diligence, you will be in a great position to make the best choice for you. Good luck!
