Advanced cosmetic dermatology treatments keep Rockville, MD residents beautiful

One of the most significant developments in dermatology has been in the area of anti-aging treatments. Today, men and women can address the skin concerns that tend to occur with age using safe, minimally-invasive treatments rather than cosmetic surgery. Cosmetic solutions such as Botox and dermal fillers are now regularly used by adults of all ages who seek a more youthful aesthetic.

Most recently, the dermal fillers Juvéderm Voluma™ has received FDA clearance. Before its use in the United States, Juvéderm Voluma™ was used extensively in Europe and 72 other countries for several years. This innovative injectable has been formulated for specific results as well as patient comfort.

The signs of aging are well-known by the Washington Dermatology Center team. Dr. Prussick has carefully selected a number of treatments designed to beautifully address concerns such as sagging skin and the loss of definition in facial contours. We recognize that each of our patients has specific needs, and tailor care to the individual by beginning care with a thorough evaluation and discussion of wants and expectations. The advanced cosmetic dermatology treatments offered by Dr. Prussick in the Rockville area are just a sampling of why he has repeatedly been recognized as a Top Doctor in Washington Magazine.

What makes Juvéderm Voluma™ different?

One of the facial changes that occurs with age is volume loss. In the mid-face, the gradual loss of volume progressively decreases plump, healthy contours in the cheekbones. In time, this decrease in volume can become rather significant, making the face appear longer and older. In the past, the way to reveal healthier mid-face contours was to tighten loose skin through the face lift procedure. As dermal fillers have been developed, skilled dermatologists have used specific products and techniques to rejuvenate facial features safely and without surgery.

Juvéderm Voluma™ is a filler that has been developed specifically for the purpose of mid-facial volume restoration. This effective filler is the first to be cleared by the FDA for this specific use. The base of Juvéderm Voluma™ is Hyaluronic acid, a natural substance that is present in the body and carries no risk of allergic reaction. The highest degree of efficiency is gained through Vycross cross-linking technology in the cosmetic gel solution. Cross-linking facilitates a beautiful lift to the skin, and also achieves results that can last up to two years.

Juvéderm Voluma™ is ideal for patients ranging from their twenties to their seventies and beyond. To learn more about this advanced dermal filler, contact The Washington Dermatology Center.
