Juvederm & Restylane Boston, Massachusetts
As we age, our skin changes. Over time, the natural volume of youthful skin begins to diminish as wrinkles and folds form. You don’t have to just sit back and let it happen! Injectable fillers like Juvéderm and Restylane are used to restore volume and fullness to the skin and smooth away facial wrinkles and folds. Fillers produce very pleasing enhancements, most commonly for your “laugh lines,” “smile lines,” or “parentheses” (nasolabial folds), or “marionette lines” (oral commissures). Fillers are also popular to restore lip volume lost over time or to enhance lips that have always been thin or asymmetric.
The results are immediate. In about 30 minutes, you’re on your way to wonderful results that enhance your best features; fill lips, folds, and scars; and restore the contours of the youthful face. If you are considering Juvéderm in the Boston area, come to Finesse where our medical staff has performed hundreds of dermal filler treatments.
