Let’s face it. Deep laugh lines around the mouth are nothing to smile about. Facial creams alone, even with the most active ingredients, can’t truly diminish these lines.

The most effective solution, short of surgery, has been injectable dermal fillers to smooth out facial wrinkles and folds around the mouth. They have been wildly popular because they are quick, safe and effective for months.

The creators of Botox® have recently entered this arena with the introduction of Juvederm™, a product touted as the next generation of dermal fillers. We agree, and here’s why.

Juvederm is administered as a soft and highly pliable gel made of hyaluronic acid, a complex sugar that occurs naturally in the skin. Hyaluronic acid retains water and adds volume to the skin. It also transports important nutrients to cells within the skin, which contribute to its overall health and appearance. Normal aging and environmental factors reduce the amount of hyaluronic acid our skin produces. Juvederm pumps it back in.

Injections are smooth-flowing, giving Dr. Espinoza a great deal of control in easing the substance into the skin. Lines are instantly filled, adding volume and a more youthful appearance to the skin. The result is natural and longer lasting than previous dermal fillers. The effects of Juvederm can last up to six months or longer.
