As we age our skin thins, stretches and loses volume. Collagen and elastin (the skin's building blocks) break down, leaving skin thinner and less pliable. When this occurs, everyday facial expressions can highlight creases, wrinkles and even hollow areas where volume has been lost. While the breakdown of collagen and elastin in your skin is impossible to prevent, there are ways to replace the volume lost from this process.

Celibré Medical uses hyaluronic acid products to counteract the effects of thinning skin by filling in the thinned areas due to a loss of collagen and elastin. This process is called "shaping the face," and it is an important concept to discuss with your practitioner when considering dermal fillers.
Juvederm is much different than Botox. Rather than a muscle relaxant like Botox, Juvederm fills the wrinkle or crease. Since Juvederm is a dermal filler, it can be used to increase volume and provide definition to the borders of the mouth and lips. Juvederm is FDA approved for the treatment of lines and creases, and is a safe, effective option for smoothing natural lines of the face.
Juvederm is one of three different hyaluronic acid products that we use to fill in deep folds and facial wrinkles (Restylane and Perlane are the other two). If you feel that your skin is losing volume and you want to achieve a smoother, younger appearance by filling creases and lines or plumping the lips, please contact Celibré Medical today and ask about our use of hyaluronic acid fillers, including Juvederm.
At Celibré, we focus on educating our patients because we want them to participate in, and make sound decisions about their care. Our professional, knowledgeable staff is here to help you understand all of the benefits and risks of Juvederm treatments. Our nurses are independently trained and certified by the manufacturer to correctly provide Juvederm injections.

Juvederm is made of Hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occuring compound in the body. Hyaluronic acid has a unique ability to absorb 1,000 times it's weight in water. For this reason, Juvederm is able to fill and plump up folds and creases in the face (or even lips) because of it's ability to absorb so much water.
