JUVEDERM®

JUVÉDERM is a ‘next generation’ of smooth, long-lasting dermal fillers, and the latest advancement in hyaluronic acid (HA) cosmetic filler technology. Over recent years, hyaluronic acid, a substance found naturally in the body, has become a favored compound for replenishing the areas of the face where the skin’s volume and fullness have been lost.

Hyaluronic acid is present in all living cells; attracting and binding water, hydrating and giving the skin smoothness and volume. As the body ages, the ability of the body’s cells to manufacture its own hyaluronic acid is diminished, resulting in the loss of skin volume, producing folds and wrinkles.

JUVÉDERM is biosynthetic and of non-animal origin. Since it is not created from an animal source and non-protein based, there is little chance of an allergic reaction. The formula is highly biocompatible, and no testing is required prior to administration. It has been proven to be safe and effective for skin of all types and colors. As with other hyaluronic acid fillers, JUVÉDERM is gradually absorbed naturally into the body.

	BEFORE & AFTER PHOTOS

The main difference between JUVÉDERM and other popular hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers is that JUVÉDERM has a higher concentration of hyaluronic acid and is produced in a process that makes it smoother than the previous generation of HA fillers. The combination of the higher concentration of hyaluronic acid and the smoother formulation make JUVÉDERM longer lasting (up to six months or longer) and less painful with injection. JUVÉDERM ULTRA is used for contouring and volumizing average-depth depressions/wrinkles such as nasolabial folds, forehead lines, mild-to-moderate nasal and cheek furrows, and to plump up thin lips. JUVEDERM ULTRA PLUS is best utilized where deeper correction is needed such as adding volume to the cheeks, lips and deep smile lines.
