Dermal Filler
Juvederm
Juvederm is one of the latest dermal fillers introduced to the U.S. market. It provides the highest concentration of cross-linked hyaluronic acid of any currently available hyaluronic acid dermal filler for long-lasting results. This creates a smooth consistency gel that flows consistently and easily into the skin and provides a smooth, natural look and feel.
Treatment Areas
Juvederm injections add volume to volume-deficient areas of the face. In general, Juvederm adds volume to the cheeks, lips, and jawline; treats wrinkles extending from the nose to the mouth (smile lines), from the mouth to the chin, and fine lines and wrinkles above the lip; and diminishes the appearance of frown lines.
Lip injections
What does Juvederm do?
Recently approved by the FDA, Juvéderm™ injectable gel is a “next-generation” dermal filler. The smooth consistency gel helps to instantly restore your skin’s volume and smooth away facial wrinkles and folds, like your “smile lines” or “parentheses” (nasolabial folds—the creases that run from the bottom of your nose to the corners of your mouth).
Jawline filler
How long does it last?
Depending on the type of Juvederm used, it generally lasts between 1 – 2 years. Another factor includes the natural makeup of each individual person. Most injectable dermal fillers require follow-up therapy to maintain results.
Cheek filler
Does Juvederm work immediately?
It begins to smooth and plump the face as soon as it is injected. However, it usually takes another two weeks for the results to fully develop. If you’re seeking fuller, firmer, and smoother facial skin without having to get extensive surgery, injectable fillers could be the right choice for you.
