An interesting study published in the journal of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgerycompared multiple sets of twins and the factors that made one twin appear younger than the other. Among smoking, divorce, and the use of antidepressants or hormone therapy, excess weight in the face was a factor that, for the sets of twins over 40, surprisingly made the heavier twin appear youngerthan the thinner twin.
The idea of “fullness” in the face may sound unappealing to some, but when volume is placed in the right areas in the ideal amount and with the right product, it can make a person appear up to five years younger. With the help of JUVÉDERM® and Dr. Lickstein’s highly trained staff, patients can achieve such desirable, natural-looking results.
What does JUVÉDERM® treat?
Dr. Lickstein recommends JUVÉDERM® to patients who are concerned with facial wrinkles, especially in the midface and around the mouth, and to those who are considering temporary lip augmentation. Different variations of JUVÉDERM® products are FDA approved and ideal for particular areas of the face. Dr. Lickstein offers JUVÉDERM® XC, JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC, and the most recently FDA-approved product for lip enhancement, JUVÉDERM Volbella® XC. The product that is right for you will be determined at your initial appointment when you communicate your goals with the treatment and Dr. Lickstein assesses your facial anatomy.
Is JUVÉDERM® right for me?
JUVÉDERM® is a safe, nonsurgical treatment that has been widely used on thousands of patients who report a high rate of satisfaction. It is performed in-office by Dr. Lickstein or one of his highly trained aestheticians in as little as 30 minutes.
