JuverdermTM Frequently Asked Questions
What is Juvederm?
Juvederm is an injectable smooth gel dermal filler composed of hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance that already exists in the human body and it gives the skin fullness. It restores natural volume, which tends to decrease with age and sun damage.
What can be expected at a Juvederm treatment?
In an initial complimentary consultation, the doctor will ask about areas of concern to determine where Juvederm will be injected. Juvederm is then injected under the skin to fill in facial wrinkles, folds and to bring fullness to the lips. The results are instantaneous.
