Another happy Client – Sonja’s Story

Before she came to SkinMedic, Sonja hated having her picture taken and was feeling very low about herself.

Her skin was droopy & wrinkled.  Years before, she’d had a facelift & deep laser peel & didn’t want to go through the pain and long recovery time.

Visit http://skinmedic.com/ourclientssay/sonjas-story to see how Pam Brewer & SkinMedic helped Sonja regain her confidence.

What is Juvederm?

Juvederm  is a smooth consistency gel made of hyaluronic acid—a naturally occurring substance in your skin that helps to add volume and hydration.  Juvederm is FDA-approved to last up to 1 year and is available in two formulations to allow us to tailor treatment to your unique needs.

Juvederm is gently eased under the skin to instantly restore your skin’s volume and smooth away facial wrinkles and folds, like your “smile lines” or “parentheses” (nasolabial folds—the creases that run from the bottom of your nose to the corners of your mouth).  Juvederm Ultra provides versatility in contouring and volumizing facial wrinkles and folds. Juvederm Ultra Plus is a more robust formulation for volumizing and correcting deeper folds and wrinkles.

The graphic below shows results for the before, after 1 syringe & after 2 syringes of Juvederm Ultra.

Dermal Fillers 101

Commonly referred to as the “liquid facelift,” dermal fillers are used more & more to reverse the signs of ageing and give a more natural appearance than surgical facelifts.

There are a number of great fillers available now. In the 1980’s, there was one and now there are hundreds worldwide.

What determines the best one for you will vary including longevity, area being corrected, type of wrinkle crease, the cost, and potential for bruising. It takes a serious conversation with your injector to determine how to choose the best option for your particular needs.

How does the sunlight damage the skin?

Simply put, ultraviolet radiation (UVA and UVB particularly), be it from the sun or tanning beds, damages the DNA of skin cells.  To make matters worse, the thinning of the Earth’s ozone layer is believed to increase UV radiation levels.  It takes many years before enough microscopic damage accumulates to create wrinkles and other visible signs of skin change.

Government health officials estimate that as much as 75 percent of UV damage occurs before the age of 18.  About 80% of the UVB rays hit the epidermis causing reddening.  Ninety -five percent of the rays hitting the Earth are UVA rays and they easily penetrate the dermis causing premature aging and wrinkles.

Sun block that absorbs both UVA and UVB rays should be applied every two hours.  Layered clothing, glass and dense clouds can minimize UVB rays.  UVA can penetrate cloud cover, light clothing and un-tinted glass.  Both UVA and UVB  rays have been linked to the production of cancer.
