Plastic Surgeon Allan Parungao, MD, FACS, Announces Clinical Trial of Juvderm Technique to Treat Root Cause of Midface Sagging, witho...(eciate that." Chris a 51-year-ol...),Health

Chris, a 51-year-old baby boomer who has had traditional NLF Juvéderm injections, recently tried a JuMiR treatment for the first time. "The JuMiR treatment made my face feel filled out," she says. "It plumped up my cheeks and got rid of that 'sunken' look. And I noticed that the JuMiR treatment actually turned up the corners of my mouth."

Another difference from the traditional NLF injections: "I had absolutely no bruising with the JuMiR technique, and normally I do bruise," says Chris.

Injectable facial treatments such as Juvéderm and Botox have become increasingly popular. "Many women and men are looking for ways to make their face look younger--without the expense or downtime of plastic surgery," Dr. Parungao explains.

Just-released statistics from the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery show that 83% of the more than 10 million cosmetic procedures performed in 2008 were non-surgical. Americans had 1,262,848 hyaluronic acid filler procedures in 2008 alone.

"Especially these days, people are looking for affordable ways to look their best," says Dr. Parungao. "Lunchtime injectable treatments like Juvéderm are only a fraction of the cost of surgical procedures--with no downtime."
