David K. Ward, MD

Vancouver cosmetic surgery patients have been visiting Dr. David Ward to help combat the signs of aging and skin damage done by prolonged exposure to the sun. The popular non-surgical treatment Juvederm is one of Dr. Ward’s most popular procedures. Please read the information below to learn more about how this treatment has helped many Vancouver Juvederm patients.

Why do you need Juvederm?

There are a variety of factors that can cause wrinkles and sagging skin in the facial area. Sun exposure is responsible for almost 90 percent of all wrinkles. Exposure to ultraviolet radiation leads to the breakdown of the body’s natural collagen, which leads to sagging skin and ultimately wrinkles. Other factors that can contribute to visible signs of aging include cigarette smoke, pollution and a genetic predisposition.

What is Juvederm?

Juvederm is a soft, replenishing injectable gel that is composed of hyaluronic acid. This acid is a naturally occurring sugar in the body and helps maximize the skin to help fill out wrinkles and thinning skin. One of Juvederm’s most favorable qualities is the timely effectiveness of the material. Results are instantaneous and last for a considerable amount of time before a patient would need to be retreated. Another plus is Juvederm has been shown in studies to actually stimulate the creation of collagen, one of your body’s most effective anti-aging components.

Most Juvederm treatments take 15 to 30 minutes, and due to the non-invasive nature of the treatment, patients are typically able to immediately return to their normal lives.
