No one is ever ready to start seeing wrinkles when they look in the mirror. So many things can cause us to have wrinkles earlier than we would like, such as genetics and sun exposure. Fortunately, wrinkles are not something we have to live with. There are many different options on the skin care market to combat both the onset and appearance of wrinkles:
Botox: Neurotoxins such as Botox, Dysport and Jeuveau are injected into muscles in specific areas to relax the muscles. This dramatically reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Microneedling: Collagen induction therapy uses micro injuries caused by tiny needles to stimulate collagen production which gives the skin a more firm and youthful look.
Dermal Fillers: Fillers are injectable implants that smooth skin and eliminate wrinkles. They produce immediate results with almost no recovery time.
It’s important to understand that there are different types of fillers. In fact, there are four main materials that derma fillers are made of:
Hyaluronic acid- substance naturally produced by your body, lasts 6 to 12 months
Calcium hydroxylapatite- substance found in our bones, lasts about 18 months
Poly-L-lactic acid- biodegradable synthetic material, lasts about 24 months
Polymethylmethacrylate beads- nonbiodegradable synthetic material, permanent, and can only be used around the mouth.
You are probably already familiar with hyaluronic acid because it is commonly used in so many skincare products due to its tendency to help the skin retain hydration. Hyaluronic acid is also naturally occuring in the body, and the body will easily absorb it over time. Some of the most popular and trusted derma fillers are hyaluronic acid based, like Juvéderm and Restylane.
You should also understand that each brand of filler has several different lines to choose from. Sometimes, the best and most natural looking results will come from using combinations of different lines to achieve your desired results.
There are several kinds of Juvéderm injections designed for specific areas of the face. Some are intended to be used on the mouth area only, and there are others to add volume to cheeks. Specific injections are used for the fine lines of the face like those around your nose and mouth. Juvéderm injections are made with lidocaine, this helps to control pain during the injections without the need for an additional topical anesthetic.
As with all procedures, minor side effects are possible, like redness and swelling, but Juvéderm is generally considered a safe and very fast working, effective filler. If you are looking for a Juvéderm Treatment in Marion, Iowa, visit Refresh Your Spirit Aesthetics.

It used to eliminate the lines around the eyes, and also on the back of the hands. Restylane can be used to smooth lines around the mouth, enhance the lips, and add volume as well as lift to the cheeks.
