Juvederm® is a filler product that is used to restore smoother more youthful look to the skin. This product is used to reduce the signs of aging and skin imperfections. Juvederm not only smoothes superficial lines and wrinkles, it is also used to fill furrows, such as the nasolabial folds, and oral commissures or marionette lines. This product can also be injected into the cheeks to create or restore volume.

Juvederm® is made up of hyaluronic acid in a viscoelastic gel. Hyaluronic acid a substance naturally found in the body’s cells. This allows the cells to bind or hold water, and is responsible for maintaining tissue hydration. Over time the hyaluronic acid will slowly become absorbed, and will disappear gradually with age. Because this substance is found within the body, and is non-animal in origin, there is no need for preliminary allergy testing.
