Juvederm at Little Rock Cosmetic Surgery Center

Did you forget your sunscreen at all this summer? Are you feeling the consequences of that? Well, even if you never forget your sunscreen, age takes its toll on your skin. However, throughout the summer you have the extra problem of the sun’s ultraviolet rays at their strongest. Not only that, but in hot weather drinking more water becomes important. Lack of hydration and ultraviolet radiation, along with environmental pollutants are the major causes of skin damage, hence wrinkles! And as your skin ages, it begins to lose the ability to produce the very substance that keeps it hydrated. This is because as we age we produce less and less hyaluronic acid (HA).

Hyaluronic acid is works like a sponge, soaking up more than 1,000 times its own weight in water. Juvéderm® is made of hyaluronic acid. This is how Juvéderm® hydrates your skin and increases the skin’s volume. As a naturally occurring substance in your skin, the main ingredient in Juvéderm® helps the way the skin on your face looks and feels. HA also is the main component in the connective tissues of the dermis, that inner layer of skin beneath the epidermis. This layer is made of collagen and elastin, and you guessed it, Hyaluronic acid. HA also helps to transport the nutrients needed to your skin. So overall, you want HA for skin hydration and preventing wrinkles. This smooth hyaluronic acid gel Juvéderm® is made from can quickly fill in facial folds and lines around the mouth and nose.

The most popular dermal fillers at Little Rock Cosmetic Surgery Center are made from hyaluronic acid. Now that summer’s over, you may want to stop in and decrease those folds and wrinkles with a non invasive treatment of Juvéderm®. Because the treatment only takes about a half hour and requires no down time, you can come in on your lunch hour. Juvéderm® commonly lasts about 4 to 6 months before it is absorbed by the body. We also offer reward points at Little Rock Cosmetic Surgery Center so that each time you purchase a syringe of Juvéderm®, you win points toward your next treatment.
