Juvedérm®

As we age, our skin changes. Over time, the natural volume of youthful skin begins to diminish as wrinkles and folds form. But, with Juvedérm® injectable gel, you don't have to just sit back and let it happen! Now you can instantly restore your skin's volume and smooth away facial wrinkles and folds.

How is Juvedérm® different from BOTOX® Cosmetic?

Juvedérm® injectable gel is a dermal filler that provides volume and is used to treat wrinkles, folds, and lines around your mouth and nose. Juvedérm® restores your skin's volume for a smooth, natural look and feel. BOTOX® Cosmetic is not a filler. BOTOX® Cosmetic relaxes muscle activity and is used to treat moderate to severe lines caused by the frown muscles between the eyebrows.

What makes Juvedérm® different from other dermal fillers?

Juvedérm® is the ONLY hyaluronic acid (HA) filler FDA approved to last up to 1 year. It works to create a smooth consistency gel that flows easily into the skin providing a smooth, natural feel. All other HA dermal fillers currently on the market are made of granular consistency gels. In fact, studies show superior results of Juvedérm® compared to collagen-based dermal filler.  

What is hyaluronic acid?

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance found in all mammals that helps to hydrate and add volume to skin. In addition to its uses as an aesthetic treatment, hyaluronic acid has also been used for more than 20 years for injection into arthritic joints to aid movement as well as for eye injuries and wound repair.

What will treatment with Juvedérm® injectable gel accomplish?

Treatment will help to smooth moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds. Most patients need one treatment to achieve optimal wrinkle smoothing. And one treatment could smooth your lines and wrinkles for up to 1 year! 

Is treatment painful?

Injections may cause some discomfort during and after the injection. The smooth consistency gel allows your doctor to administer it easily and smoothly. Juvedérm® is injected directly into the skin using a fine needle to reduce injection discomfort. In some cases a topical anesthetic may be used to minimalize discomfort.

How long does treatment usually take?

The injection process takes about 30-45 minutes. Results are immediate and there is minimal recovery and downtime.
