Juvederm is an excellent product for soft, natural correction of wrinkles and the preferred product for lip augmentation.
Juvederm has been used in Europe since 2000 and in Canada since 2002. Juvederm products are currently approved or registered in over 36 countries, including all major European markets.Juvederm is now possibly the most popular all around dermal filler. Concentrations of cross-linked hyaluronic acid are highest in Juvederm, more than that of other dermal fillers currently available. Cross linking makes Juvederm long lasting, generally 6 – 12 months. In some facial areas you can boost effect duration by using in combination with BOTOX Cosmetic.
New Juvederm XC
New! We now offer Juvederm Ultra XC and Juvederm Ultra Plus XC – with comfort-enhancing lidocaine
Juvederm XC is an injectable cosmetic filler formulated to fill in lines and wrinkles in the skin, especially in the face. This injectable treatment is formulated with hyaluronic acid (HA), which occurs naturally in the body to fill in the spaces between collagen and elastin in the skin. The purpose of HA is to add volume and smooth the skin, while keeping the skin hydrated by attracting water molecules. Over time, the body loses its ability to produce hyaluronic acid. As a result of the aging process, folds and wrinkles appear as the skin volume is reduced. Juvederm restores hyaluronic acid within the skin, improving the skin’s structure to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Is a Juvederm™ Right for Me?
Most Juvederm patients are between the ages of 30 and 65 and are seeking to reduce visible signs of aging in their face. You should not undergo cosmetic filler injections if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, but otherwise, most adults in good overall health are able to undergo this treatment. If you are considering dermal filler treatments, ask for Juvederm before after photos. Many different lines and wrinkles can be treated with Juvederm.
The most popular treatment areas include:
- Frown lines between the eyebrows
- Crow’s feet around the outer eyes
- Forehead creases
- Lines from the nose to the outer edges of the mouth (nasolabial folds)
- Lines from the corner of the mouth downwards
- Smile lines
- Adding volume to the lips (lip augmentation)
The Costs of Juvederm™
Juvederm costs vary depending on the area being treated, the volume of Juvederm gel required, and other factors. The costs for this cosmetic filler are typically much lower than the costs of more invasive cosmetic procedures, including brow lifts and facelifts.
Procedure Details
Juvederm injections take about 30 minutes. Although the injections are virtually painless, local or topical anesthetic can be used, if desired. The selected Juvederm solution is injected with a fine needle under the skin to precisely target selected wrinkles and lines.
The initial results of Juvederm injections are an increase in the volume of tissues under the skin. Hyaluronic gel attracts water, and the gel itself also results in an increase in volume. The appearance of the treated area continues to improve over a period of several weeks. Some wrinkles reappear as the gel is absorbed into the body, although many Juvederm patients find the results to be long-lasting or even permanent.
Recovery After Juvederm™
Juvederm is a “lunchtime procedure” requiring no downtime. Juvederm patients can continue their daily activities immediately. Makeup can be worn to camouflage any redness or bruising in the treated skin.
The Juvederm special advantage
A special advantage of Juvederm wrinkle filler are the three levels of product formulation, two are now available. These levels provide solutions for deep folds and lines, moderate wrinkling and the fine lines found around the lips and eyes. Your provider will determine the amount of Juvederm gel to be injected into the treated area, as well as whether to use Juvederm Ultra (recommended for superficial wrinkles) or Juvederm Ultra Plus (for deeper folds and lines).
The two product formulations include:
- Ultra Juvederm is a highly cross-linked formulation for more versatility in creating volume and contouring of facial wrinkles and folds.
- Ultra Plus Juvederm is a more highly cross-linked robust formulation for creating volume and correction of deeper folds and wrinkles.
