It happens to the most fortunate of us.
It’s part of living life in the modern world.
Medical science, combined with a better understanding of how our bodies work, is allowing us to live longer, healthier lives.
In 1921, Canadians could expect to live to the ripe old age of about 57. Today the average life expectancy is 81. That’s 24 more years to enjoy life, but it’s also 24 more years to age.
As a result, more people than ever are looking for anti-aging treatments to help them retain a youthful appearance as they grow older. And there are more options than ever.
How do you know which option is best for you? Read on to find out.
Plastic Surgery?
One option is, of course, plastic surgery. If you’re planning on making drastic changes to your appearance, plastic surgery can help.
However, there are several drawbacks to plastic surgery.
First of all, plastic surgery is expensive and isn’t generally covered by OHIP or other health insurance plans except in the case of medical necessity. Not only is it expensive, but the recovery time can set you back even further as you take time off work to heal.
Second, there’s always the risk for complications. Plastic surgery is, after all, surgery, and any time you go under the knife you run the risk of complications. This is, however, rare in the hands of a skilled surgeon.
And because of the surgical nature of plastic surgery, there’s an intimidation factor that needs to be overcome. In other words, surgery can be pretty frightening.
Nonsurgical Facelift In Toronto
Of course, there’s nothing wrong with going the surgical route if that’s what you want. But for those who want to take a nonsurgical approach to improving their appearance, there are many options to choose from.
At Jiva Spa Toronto, we offer several different options to give you a more youthful appearance, but one of the most popular and innovative is Juvederm® anti aging treatments.
Juvederm®, like Botox, is an injectable facial filler designed to smooth out wrinkles and fine lines. But unlike Botox, Juvederm® is made from a naturally occurring sugar in your body, hyaluronic acid. When combined with the water in your skin, Juvederm® refreshes your skin, giving you the appearance you’re looking for.
What To Expect With Juvederm®
A Juvederm® treatment can be administered in as little as 15 minutes to an hour, depending on the area you’re hoping to treat. And because Juvederm® contains a naturally pain-reducing substance, you’ll be surprised at how painless the entire experience is.
Juvederm ® treatments can last up to two years as well, and you can generally see results instantly after your first visit, and with almost zero recovery time.
We advise not to wear makeup for 12 hours after treatment, and to avoid the sun and extreme hot or cold (such as saunas, steam rooms, or Canadian winters) for two weeks after treatment. You may also experience redness, itching, swelling, or small bumps. These symptoms generally clear up on their own within a week, though in the rare case that they persist longer we advise speaking with a doctor.
Is Juvederm® Safe?
In general, yes. Thousands of people worldwide have received Juvederm® treatments and enjoyed softer, smoother, more youthful looking skin. However, Juvederm® is not for everybody.
If you have a history of anaphylaxis, epilepsy, porphyria, rheumatic fever, multiple severe allergies, allergies to hyaluronic acid or other filler products, or allergies to local anaesthetics including lidocaine, a history of autoimmune diseases, or recurrent sore throats, speak to your doctor before undergoing any Juvederm® treatment or any other cosmetic treatment.
You should also consult your doctor if you’re currently on blood thinners or any medications which prolong bleeding, you’ve recently had other skin treatments (like microdermabrasion, IPL treatment, or chemical peels), other fillers (like Botox), you’re experiencing acne, cold sores, or other skin conditions, or if you’re currently pregnant or breastfeeding, or if you’re under 21y ears old.
When you visit Jiva Spa Toronto, you’ll get a chance to sit down with an experienced Juvederm® specialist who will explain to you all the full benefits and potential drawbacks. This will help you discover whether Juvederm® is for you.
