Using Juvéderm™ to Combat Aging Instead of Plastic Surgery

Juvéderm™ is one of many popular injections used by both dermatologists and plastic surgeons to help patients smooth away unwanted fine lines and wrinkles throughout the face. Dr. Charlotte Ann Rhee helps patients in the area of Huntington Station, NY, to choose conservative treatment options whenever possible. If you struggle with the unwanted signs of aging and want a nonsurgical solution, Juvéderm™ might be right for you!

The Benefits of Juvéderm™ Versus Plastic Surgery

While there are some patients who may be ideal candidates for facelifts, not everyone is a proper fit for this procedure. Many are also interested in more conservative methods of achieving similar results.

Below are a few of the reasons why many patients who visit Dr. Charlotte Ann Rhee of Huntington Station, NY, choose Juvéderm™ instead of surgical interventions:

• Juvéderm™ utilizes hyaluronic acid (HA) as its base ingredient, which is a naturally-occurring substance in the body that diminishes over time. Because it is not synthetic, most people can tolerate HA exceptionally well and do not experience any unwanted side effects with its use.
• Juvéderm™ is FDA-approved for injection into the lips, nasolabial folds, and cheeks.
• When injected correctly by an experienced injector such as Dr. Charlotte Ann Rhee, Juvéderm™ can provide patients with subtle yet very noticeable improvements to all of these facial features through a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart.
• Juvéderm™ is an incredibly affordable way to reduce fine lines and wrinkles on the face that contribute to an aged appearance.
• Juvéderm™ is not permanent, though it can last many months before reinjection is needed to maintain the results.
• Juvéderm™ is best for patients with mild to moderate wrinkles which may not yet be a candidate for facelifts and other plastic surgery procedures for the face.
