Juvéderm® is a filler that relies on hyaluronic acid rather than collagen to plump up the skin. Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally found in the human body. Among its many natural functions, hyaluronic acid maintains the volume of skin, keeps skin hydrated and maintains the shape of the eye.
How does it work?
Juvéderm® is injected into areas of facial tissue where moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds occur. As Juvéderm® is injected into the problem area, it can be smoothed or sculpted to attain the desired effect. The procedure takes about 15 minutes, and Juvéderm® causes no significant pain or swelling and has no recovery time.
Results:
Juvéderm® helps restore a youthful appearance by filling wrinkles, folds and enhances the lips. It brings back the youthful skin that has been diminished by age and other skin changes. The smooth, natural results are immediately visible.
Duration:
Juvéderm® results typically last 6-12 months, depending on the area being treated.
Juvéderm® is used for:
• Lip augmentation
• Chin contouring and augmentation
• Cheek contouring and augmentation
• Correcting wrinkles and/or creases
• Softening or treating acne scars
• Liquid face lift
