Fine Lines around the Mouth: Juvederm

A joyful life is full of smiles and laughter, but it is okay to not want the fine lines it leaves behind. If your problem area is around the mouth, Juvederm is excellent at reducing the appearance of laugh lines. Juvederm is made of hyaluronic acid, which is a protein that naturally occurs in our skin. This ingredient is a hot trend in skin care because of how effective it is at hydrating and softening skin into a more youthful, supple appearance. This injection is quite gentle, resulting in less bruising compared to other products. Because Juvederm involves injecting a naturally occurring protein back into the body, it works with what you have, making your results as natural-looking as possible. The results can last up to nine months.

Forehead and Crow’s Feet: Botox

For the more dramatic signs of aging that occur around the eyes and forehead, Botox is incredibly effective. It can even be used to prevent the spread of these wrinkles if you catch them early on. Botox is made of botulinum toxin type A, which blocks the chemical acetylcholine which ultimately paralyzes muscles and makes the skin appear smoother and younger. Botox is also helpful in treating other conditions like hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating. Results last for up to four months and require upkeep after the initial procedure, but it is great for rejuvenating aging skin.
