Juvéderm® is a smooth consistency gel made of hyaluronic acid—a naturally occurring substance in your skin that helps to add volume and hydration. Hyaluronic acid may diminish with age contributing to the formation of wrinkles and folds. Juvéderm® injectable gel works to correct this by restoring hyaluronic acid in your skin helping to smooth wrinkles and folds.

It is a non-surgical, injectable treatment which is eased under the skin using a fine needle to augment, or fill, the soft tissue of the dermis. It is most commonly used to smooth out nasolabial folds—the creases that run from the bottom of your nose to the corners of your mouth, as well as augment and define the borders of the lips providing a smooth, natural look and feel. With Juvéderm® the injection process takes about 15 minutes and the results are immediate with minimal recovery and no downtime.


What will it accomplish?


Juvéderm® injectable gel will help to smooth moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds. Most patients need one treatment to achieve optimal wrinkle smoothing. The results last about 9 months to 1 year.

 

Does the correction last forever?

No. Correction is temporary; therefore, touch-up injections as well as repeat injections are usually needed to maintain optimal correction.
