Juvederm- Dermal Filler
Facial Wrinkles and Folds
Juvéderm™ is the “next generation” of dermal
fillers. It is created by Allergan - the
manufacturer of Botox®. Juvéderm provides a
smooth, long-lasting correction of moderate to
severe facial wrinkles and folds. Dermal fillers
are used to restore volume and fullness to the
skin, giving a healthy, youthful appearance.
How does Juvéderm work?
Juvéderm contains the highest concentration of
non-animal, cross-linked hyaluronic acid of any
dermal filler currently available. It is
currently the only approved hyaluronic acid
dermal filler that has demonstrated its safety
and effectiveness in patients of color.
Juvéderm is developed using the proprietary
Hylacross technology, a technologically advanced
manufacturing process that results in a
malleable, smooth gel that flows easily into the
skin and creates a smooth, natural look and
feel. All other currently approved hyaluronic
acid dermal fillers utilize a gel particle
suspension formulation. These gel particles can
be seen under magnification as opposed to the
smooth formulation used in Juvéderm.
Juvéderm is available in two formulations to
allow for a tailored treatment to your unique
needs. Juvéderm Ultra provides versatility in
contouring and volumizing facial wrinkles and
folds. Juvéderm Ultra Plus is a more robust
formulation for volumizing and correcting deeper
folds and wrinkles.
How is a Juvéderm treatment performed?
Juvéderm is administered in a smooth-flowing
injection, allowing your provider a high level
of control for individualized, tailored facial
contouring and for achieving a smooth, natural
look. The procedure is simple and quick, and the
results are practically instantaneous. Numbing
cream may be used before the treatment to
optimize your comfort during the short
procedure.
How long does Juvéderm last?
Juvéderm typically provides optimal results with
a single treatment. Juvéderm is the only
hyaluronic acid (HA) filler FDA approved to last
up to one year.
What areas can be treated with Juvéderm?
Juvéderm is most commonly used to correct smile
lines, nasolabial folds, and marionette lines
(lines formed near the chin). It can also help
to define the lip border and give the appearance
of a fuller lip.
