Injectables & Fillers - JUVÉDERM®

What is JUVÉDERM®? Juvéderm® is an injectable filler used by cosmetic dermatologists to restore volume lost in your face from the natural aging process. As we age, our face loses volume and we begin to see facial folds and wrinkles, better know as your smile lines, or “parentheses, that run from the bottom of your nose to the corner of your mouth (nasolabia folds). Juvéderm® is an injectable gel made up of hyluronic acid, a substance normally found in our skin and muscles that helps to add volume and hydration. Juvéderm® restores the volume creating a smooth, natural, youthful look you once had.

What does JUVÉDERM® do? Juvéderm® is an injectable gel that temporarily adds new volume to sagging skin and to fill in hollow spaces on your face giving you a fuller, smoother, more youthful appearance.

How does JUVÉDERM® work? Juvéderm® is injected into the mid to deep dermis to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds. The hyluronic acid, once injected into the skin helps to create new collagen, helping to decrease the appearance of facial wrinkles, and it helps to stop the breakdown of existing collagen.
