Juvederm
 
 

Juvéderm™ is the only HA filller with FDA approval to last up to one year. Juvéderm™ injectable gel is a "next-generation" smooth consistency gel that helps to instantly restore your skin's volume and smooth away facial wrinkles and folds like your "smile lines" or the creases that run from the bottom of your nose to the corners of your mouth.

Juvéderm's™ FDA approval involved a double-blind, randomized, and controlled clinical trial. After reviewing the data and experience of practitioner's involved, it was determined that Juvéderm™ may last six to twelve months depending on the formulation used and the placement site.

 
Common Questions about Juvéderm™
 
 

What does JUVÉDERM™ do?
Juvéderm™ injectable gel temporarily adds volume to facial tissue and restores a smoother appearance to the face.

What makes JUVÉDERM™ different from other dermal fillers?
JUVÉDERM™ is the ONLY hyaluronic acid (HA) filler FDA approved to last up to 1 year. It also works to create a smooth consistency gel that flows easily into the skin and provides a smooth, natural look and feel. All other hyaluronic acid dermal fillers currently on the market are made of granular consistency gels. And, Juvéderm™ is the first hyaluronic acid dermal filler that has demonstrated its safety and effectiveness in persons of color.

How is JUVÉDERM™ injectable gel different from BOTOX® Cosmetic?

Juvéderm™ injectable gel is a "next-generation" hyaluronic acid dermal filler that provides volume and is used to treat wrinkles and folds resulting from a loss of volume beneath the surface of the skin such as perioral lines and nasolabial folds (lines around your mouth and nose). Juvéderm™ 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 dominant frown muscles between the eyebrows (the glabellar area). This allows the two vertical lines between the brows, often referred to as the "11," to temporarily diminish for a smoother appearance. For important safety information about BOTOX® Cosmetic, see below.

What is hyaluronic acid?
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance found in all mammals that helps to hydrate and add volume to your skin. In addition to its use 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 surgeries and wound repair.
What will treatment with JUVÉDERM™ injectable gel accomplish?
Juvéderm™ injectable gel 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. Ask your doctor what you should expect from your initial treatment and when they would recommend rescheduling another appointment.

How long does treatment usually take?
The injection process takes only about 15 minutes. You'll also need to allow time to consult with your doctor prior to treatment.

Does the correction last forever?
No. Correction is temporary; therefore, touch-up injections as well as repeat injections are usually needed to maintain optimal corrections.

How long do results last?
JUVÉDERM™ is the ONLY hyaluronic acid (HA) filler FDA approved to last up to 1 year
Can people with different skin tones/colors be treated with JUVÉDERM™?
Yes. In fact, Juvéderm™ injectable gel is the first FDA-approved hyaluronic acid dermal filler that has proven its safety and effectiveness in persons of color. Studies with Juvéderm™ showed no increased risk of hyperpigmentation or hypertrophic scarring in patients of color.
