Juvederm is the first smooth-consistency HA gel. It has optimal gel structure that hold up over time. It is the only injectable gel that is approved by the FDA to last up to 1 year with only 1 treatment. Juvederm is intended for injection into mid-to-deep dermis for correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles, such as nasal labial folds.
Wrinkle correction with Juvederm is quick, in-office procedure with immediate results and minimal downtime.
How are wrinkles corrected?
The appearance of wrinkles and facial fold can be smoothed by adding volume underneath the skin to bring the skin back up to the surface. Generally, this is done by injecting materials called ”dermal fillers” into the skin, to achieve a temporary effect. Juvederm can help you achieve fullness to the lips, nasal labial folds, and the gabellar area (between the eyebrows).
What is hyaluronic acid?
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a natural complex sugar found in all humans. It is found in skin, muscle and bone. HA retains water like a sponge, absorbing more than 1000 times its weight. This helps to increase volume and density. HA is also involved with transport of essential nutrients to the skins viable cells.
