JUVÉDERM

Like Restylane®, Juvéderm® is a hyaluronic acid based facial filler that is completely biocompatible and synthesized rather than of animal origin. Juvéderm® is designed to soften the signs of aging by physically filling in areas of skin volume deficiency, but also by acting as a source of internal skin hydration. Juvéderm® injections can be used to treat facial lines and wrinkles, augment facial contours such as the jaw line or the cheek bones, or enhance the appearance of lip fullness. Juvéderm® treatment is very safe, and even beneficial to your skin. Prior to being approved as cosmetic injectable filler, hyaluronic acid injections have been used to induce tissue healing after cataract surgery, and as an analgesic remedy for knee joint pain.

One characteristic that sets Juvéderm® apart from other hyaluronic facial injections is that Juvéderm® has been clinically proven to be an effective treatment for patients of all skin types and colors. Another is that the minerals contained in Juvéderm® gels are not suspended particles in the gel formula. Using an innovative new manufacturing process, the company that produces Juvéderm® has been able to invent a gel formula that is smooth and homogeneous, creating more natural cosmetic results and longer lasting benefits. The effects of a Juvéderm® treatment usually last for about 6 to 9 months.
