What Can Juvéderm Do?

Provide youthful volume to the mid-face
Decrease nasolabial folds and marionette lines
Reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles
Plump up and add structure and hydration for the lips
Add definition and volume to a weak or recessed chin

Hyaluronic Acid Explained

The active ingredient of Juvéderm is hyaluronic acid, a powerful moisture-binding molecule that everyone has in their skin naturally. Hyaluronic acid is important because it retains moisture, repairs tissue, binds collagen and elastin together, and fights microorganisms off the skin. Unfortunately, hyaluronic acid starts to subside the older we become.

This is why our face begins to lose its radiant, youthful volume as the years go by. However, this is also why facial fillers like Juvéderm are effective.

When this form of hyaluronic acid is injected into our tissue, it helps make the skin appear plumper, more hydrated, firmer, and more youthful-looking because it binds itself to the water molecules that are inside the skin. This means that the skin receives more volume and lift.

What are the Key Benefits of Juvéderm?

A smoother, younger-looking appearance
Treatments are non-invasive
Appointments are quick and convenient
Injections are very tolerable
Safe for all skin types
Results are immediate

What about Downtime and Results?

Although Juvéderm injections don’t require any real downtime, there are some physical restrictions. We recommend avoiding UV exposure, excessive heat, alcohol consumption, and exercise for 48 hours. Common yet temporary side effects include swelling, bruising, redness, tenderness, firmness, and lumpiness where the cosmetic fillers were administered. Final results from Juvéderm can usually be seen at two weeks.
