Did you know that the gradual loss of facial volume is one of the main reasons for skin aging? As you get older, you begin losing subcutaneous fat and other substances. The result is skin that begins sagging and sliding down your face. Lines and creases begin forming where pads of skin have come to rest, leading to the characteristic look of an older person. If this situation describes yours, you should know that a treatment is available that can help turn back the clock on aging facial skin. Juvederm® is a non-surgical method for thickening the skin and the facial area to help minimize the appearance of lines and wrinkles that can leave you looking older than your actual age.
What is Juvederm®?
Juvederm® is a minimally-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment involving the injection of a product containing hyaluronic acid and lidocaine. The hyaluronic acid is responsible for enhancing the thickness of your facial skin, while lidocaine is added to ensure your comfort throughout the treatment process.
What is Hyaluronic Acid?
One of the advantages of getting a Juvederm® treatment is that it offers results that appear quite soft and natural because it utilizes natural substances. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally-produced substance that lends moisture and volume to your skin. Ample hyaluronic acid results in the classic youthful skin appearance that is dewy and radiant.
The unfortunate fact is that getting older leads to a loss of hyaluronic acid production. This means that your skin is no longer able to retain sufficient moisture, and it becomes thinner and drier as a result.
How Does Juvederm® Work?
Juvederm® works by replacing the hyaluronic acid that was lost due to the aging process through injections. Once the hyaluronic acid has been replaced, the skin aging process can begin to reverse. The product goes to work immediately to volumize and hydrate your skin.

Do you have unwanted wrinkles on your forehead? Are these wrinkles making you look older, upset, or sad? If so, it’s likely that you want to do something to correct them. BOTOX and brow liftprocedures have been shown to be an effective way to help individuals like you reduce forehead lines.
Forehead wrinkles are caused by the raising and lowering of your eyebrows. It’s something that you do voluntarily or involuntarily every single day. When something shocks or surprises you, you raise your eyebrows. When something upsets you, you lower or tighten your eyebrows. With time, this movement begins to affect the skin on your forehead, causing these wrinkles to appear and eventually get deeper.
Now that you are a little older, your skin does not have the same bounce-back ability that it did before. This is why these forehead wrinkles are permanently on your forehead and refuse to leave even when you relax your forehead muscles. The beauty of a brow lift with BOTOX is that it can help to reduce these wrinkles and can prevent new wrinkles from developing.
To get the best results from BOTOX treatments for forehead wrinkles, your brow lift with BOTOX treatment should only be administered by trained professionals. When BOTOX is strategically administered, it goes a long way in restoring your youthful appearance, giving you a more revitalized look.
BOTOX treatments can be administered very quickly, depending on the amount of treatment your forehead needs. During a brow lift treatment, more involved techniques will be used in order to bring about significant enhancement.

Have you noticed that the way people react to you now is different than when you were younger? You may have noticed that people admired your beauty when you were in your younger years. However, now people pay little attention to you or they may make less-than-positive reactions when they see you. This can hurt your feelings and cause you to have low self-esteem. One of the ways that individuals have been able to improve this situation is by adding shape to their cheeks with Voluma.
When a person is in their younger years, they usually have a full face. Their cheeks are healthy and round. Many people have what is often referred to as a baby face, even as they enter their teenage years and continue on into their twenties. While a person usually doesn’t want to look chubby, it is this facial volume that helps a person to have a youthful look.
Volume loss due to the aging process can have a dramatic effect on your appearance. Now that you are getting older, your cheeks are no longer as round or full as they used to be. Now they may actually look hollow and sunken in. Instead of people reacting in a positive way when they see you, they may be surprised by the fact that you look so tired and worn out. This can have a negative effect on your professional and personal life.
Voluma is designed to change all of this. It is a dermal filler that has been formulated to be used on the cheeks. It can add shape to your cheeks and give you back that lost volume.
When it comes to using cosmetic treatments, many people feel overwhelmed. They like the idea of enhancing certain aspects of their appearance, but they feel unsure since they do not know if they will like the results. This is one of the great things about using Voluma and other dermal fillers. They are temporary. So you don’t have to worry about being stuck with results that you are not happy with.
If you do not like the way your cheeks are shaped, you can do something about it. Our team at would be happy to explain the benefits that can come from using Voluma to add shape to your cheeks and improve your overall appearance. Contact us today to schedule a consultation at our office in !
If you suffer from rosacea in Columbus, you have different treatment options for relief from the symptoms. When you visit our specialist, your rosacea will be examined. There is no specific test for rosacea, but some tests may be recommended to rule out other skin conditions such as acne, eczema, lupus or psoriasis. According to your symptoms and the severity of your condition, a treatment may be prescribed.
Common symptoms include facial flushing and blushing, naturally reddish skin, a burning sensation on your face, pustules and red bumps or small cysts and thick skin on your nose. The symptoms may come and go, and everyone may not have every symptom. Rosacea is usually seen on the forehead, nose, chin and cheeks. It may appear and disappear at first, but it will not cure on its own. Treatment is necessary to reduce the redness and minimize the breakouts.
Prescription medication that reduces redness by constricting blood vessels is a popular first step when it comes to treatment. But oftentimes, this doesn’t really address the condition. If your rosacea is severe and/or does not respond to other treatments, we may suggest some type of light therapy, such as treatment with Forever Young BBL in Columbus. Light therapy may reduce redness due to enlarged blood vessels.
Of course, you cannot prevent rosacea from developing, but you can avoid the things that make it worse. We can also help you understand and select lifestyle changes that apply to you. Since each person is different, their rosacea may also have different triggers and symptoms. We can help you learn about your triggers and how to avoid them, as well as provide tips for reducing outbreaks.
Some of the most common triggers are:
Risk factors for developing rosacea are fair skin, easy blushing and heredity. Women are more prone to develop it, especially during menopause. Age is another risk factor since it is more prevalent in people between 30 to 50 years of age.
