Juvederm

Juvederm is a wrinkle filler composed of hyaluronic acid gel, FDA approved for the treatment of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and creases. When injected into the skin, Juvederm restores volume to correct prominent wrinkles and folds that have formed over time.

How to know if Juvederm is right for you

Juvederm is typically used to reduce the appearance of the nasal labial folds – the “smile lines” that travel from your nose to each side of your mouth. Other possible treatments applications include marionette lines, under-eye hollows, and thin lips.  If conditions like these are a problem for you, Juvederm may be the right treatment to consider.

How Juvederm treatment is performed

With a fine needle of specific size, Juvederm is injected beneath the skin at a specified depth. Anesthetic or nerve blocks can be used to manage discomfort during treatment. Immediately after injection, the area may be massaged to ensure a smooth result. Treated areas can often feel fuller than normal, but this condition should subside in a short time. The cosmetic improvements typically last at least 6 months. Ask about follow-up treatments and how you can maintain your results.
