Juvederm

How Juvederm Works

Throughout the natural aging process, our facial skin loses its ability to restore its own hyaluronic acid -- a key component that contributes to a supple, youthful complexion. Juvederm works by temporarily replenishing your body's lost supply, smoothing creases, lifting folds, and contouring areas that are flat or hollow. The hyaluronic acid molecules have been specially formulated to treat these areas of concern.

What to Expect During Treatment

During your Juvederm treatment, the filler is administered with a very small needle directly into problem areas such as smile lines, vertical lip lines, chin wrinkles, and marionette lines. Because Juvederm is formulated with a built-in anesthetic, the entire procedure is virtually pain-free.

After injections, avoid touching or massaging the treatment area for a few days to ensure an optimal result. Clients are also advised to avoid exposure to extreme heat, cold, and sun for up to two weeks. Beyond those guidelines, there is virtually no downtime and most individuals resume their normal activities immediately.

Results and Duration

Results are apparent immediately with a visible improvement in smile lines, lip lines, chin wrinkles, and marionette lines. The majority of patients still see noticeable results one year after their initial procedure, making Juvederm one of the longest-lasting fillers on the market. Depending on the product selected and the area treated, Juvederm fillers can last from six months to two years.
