JUVÉDERM ‘Switch Up’

To help educate patients about dermal fillers and encourage them to make an appointment with a physician to discuss treatment options, Allergan launched the JUVÉDERM® “Switch Up” campaign, spearheaded by celebrity spokesperson and television personality Dayna Devon, former host of the television show Extra.  Dayna just turned 40 and is talking to national media about how she prepared for her 40th birthday, including changes she made to her routine so that she continues to look and feel her best.

Dayna shares ways to maintain a fresh appearance as women approach milestone birthdays. Devon, a mother of two young children, has developed an easy strategy for women to switch up their current routines and take advantage of effective medical aesthetic treatments including JUVÉDERM® dermal filler, “I’m celebrating the ‘big 4-0′ this year so there’s no better time than now to switch up my routine to help me look and feel like the best version of myself. As a mom, wife and TV host, I’m always on the go and have little time for myself but I still want to look my best. In my 30s, I began receiving treatment with a dermal filler when I noticed these deep lines starting to form around my nose and mouth that looked like two parentheses and couldn’t be filled in with the creams I was using.”

Dayna Devon is also explaining why she “switched up” to JUVEDERM® XC – including why she

Wrinkles 101

Before choosing a method of correcting wrinkles, it is important to understand why they appear in the first place.
Wrinkles are creases, folds or ridges in the skin, and they are predominately caused by the decrease and damage of skin-supporting collagen. In young skin, the collagen framework is intact, and the skin remains moisturized and elastic. It’s resilient to the many facial expressions we adopt, as well as everyday environmental exposure. 
Over time, the support structure weakens, and the skin loses elasticity. As the collagen support wears down, the skin begins to lose its tone. Sun damage, smoking and poor hydration also play a role in damaging existing collagen.
The effect of these facial expressions and other factors is cumulative, and facial lines begin to appear. 

Medi-Spa at Knoxville Dermatology Group has experience with all injectable fillers and can help you choose the one that’s right for you to correct or enhance your natural features by adding volume. Dermal fillers can stimulate your body to produce your own natural collagen.

During your visit your provider will listen to your concerns and suggest the products that will give you optimal results. Patient comfort is always a concern, and a prescription strength numbing cream and ice can be applied to the area to be treated prior to the treatment. When treating the lips some patients prefer a dental block. Areas that can be treated with fillers include the lips, nasolabial folds, cheeks, hands, corners of mouth, jowls, scars, vertical lines above the lips, under eyes and below the brow to give the appearance of a lift.
