As human beings, it’s pretty natural to be concerned about our health. Conversations about how to stay fit and healthy are rampart around most water coolers. Similarly, most people often discuss their appearances as if they are ultimately impossible to maintain. Looking young is something we can’t all do forever. Or is it?

In my last blog, I went over some of the facts about Juvederm dermal fillers in an effort to quell some fears in those who may be anti-needle. The relative quickness and pain-free nature of receiving Juvéderm injections will hopefully encourage many of those who desire to keep a smooth and youthful appearance.

Perhaps, the fact that Juvederm injections provide long-lasting, natural results is the best reason to consider going ahead with treatment. After all, wouldn’t it be nice to be the main topic of discussion around the water cooler? “Wow, can you believe how amazing (your name here) looks?”

Allow me to provide a few more tidbits of information about Juvéderm. In this day and age, people like to have things done quickly. The advent of the internet and social media means that we are able to get access to information quicker than ever before. Juvéderm truly falls in line with today’s need for speed.

What does this mean exactly? Well, the results of  Juvéderm dermal fillers are instant. There is no need to wait around for days or weeks, hoping to see a younger you peering back at you in the mirror. You will be able to see an immediate improvement in the areas that have been treated.

And although some patients prefer to get what they call “supplemental touch-up treatments”, most people only require one quick procedure to achieve their desired results. How’s that for quick? Now, I know what you may be thinking. It’s sounds too good to be true, right?

It’s only natural to be skeptical. In fact, it actually makes sense to be. I always recommend getting as much information about any type of treatment before making the decision to go ahead with one. Some people, for example, are often concerned with side effects. So do any come with Juvéderm injections?

Very rarely do patients experience any side effects. And if they do, they are reportedly quite mild in nature. Issues such as some redness, tenderness and bruising of the skin generally last no more than a week. And they can be easily covered up with makeup without causing any major discomfort.
