Juvéderm™
Juvéderm™ injectable gel is the first FDA-approved hyaluronic acid dermal filler that is proven to be safe and effective for persons of color. Juvéderm™ is one of the newest, "next generation" substances in cosmetic surgery known as "dermal fillers" or "injectable fillers." Because more patients want quick procedures that show almost immediate results with little, or no, downtime, Juvéderm™ has become extremely popular with consumers; the substance is often used by cosmetic, dermatological and plastic surgeons. Made of a natural substance known as hyaluronic acid, Juvéderm™ like Restylane and Botox is one of the fastest growing non-surgical aesthetic procedures in the United States.
Juvéderm™ is a smooth consistency gel made of hyaluronic acid—a naturally occurring substance in your skin that helps to add volume and hydration. Your healthcare professional eases Juvéderm™ injectable gel under the skin 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).
Juvéderm™ provides a smooth, natural look and feel—so everyone will notice (but no one will know)! In fact, studies show superior results of Juvéderm™ compared to a collagen-based dermal filler.
Juvéderm™ is often used to:
- Plump up folds that run from the bottom of the nose to the corners of the mouth (nasolabial folds)
- Fill in the prominent vertical wrinkles, (the "11s") between the eyebrows
- Augment the hollows under the eyes
- Reduce the "Marionette lines," the downturned creases at the corner of the mouth
- Scar correction
- Augment thin or aging lips
