Reduce Wrinkles To Achieve a More Youthful Look
What is JUVÉDERM?
JUVÉDERM® is a smooth gel which contains hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a substance that occurs naturally in our skin and is essential to hydration. It is important in keeping the skin smooth, soft and free of wrinkles. As we age, we gradually lose this substance, promoting accumulation of wrinkles and an aged look.
JUVÉDERM replaces this lost hyaluronic acid through multiple tiny injections performed in the office. The procedure takes approximately 10 to 30 minutes and can be performed using topical numbing creams or through small dental nerve blocks. Results are seen immediately and typically last from 6 to 14 months depending on the area injected.
