Juvederm is a long-lasting gel that, once injected into the skin with an ultra-fine needle, lifts and adds volume to the areas being treated. Similar to one of the body's own natural substances (hyaluronic acid), it is a completely safe treatment.

The hyaluronic acid in Juvederm simply supplements the body's age-depleted hyaluronic acid to plump-up the lip or to raise the skin and 'fill in' the particular wrinkle being treated and has three major benefits.

Juvederm is an excellent treatment option for:

• Deep folds
• Lip enhancement
• Facial lines
• Wrinkle correction
• Volume augmentation of the lips
• Shaping facial contours (such as cheeks and chin correcting)
• Smile lines (correcting thin, superficial lines around the eyes, mouth and forehead)
• Juvederm fills nasal furrows and oral commissures and smoothes medium and superficial wrinkles. Juvederm is also an excellent volume creator which, when injected into your cheeks, gives you back your good looks.

The effects of Juvederm usually last six to nine months, but sometimes more or sometimes less depending on skin type, the area treated, the volume injected, and the technique used for the procedure.

The outcome can be optimized and made to last longer with a follow-up procedure a few weeks after the initial treatment. This will be decided during your free consultation with your treatment doctor
