JuvédermTM is a “next-generational” dermal filler. It is a smooth-consistency injectable gel composed of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in your skin that helps to add volume and hydration. The result is a smooth, natural look and feel.
JuvédermTM can greatly enhance your appearance by lifting and adding volume to the wrinkles and folds in the desired treatment area, such as the “smile lines” – a common treatment area for JuvédermTM patients in San Francisco.
What is a JuvédermTM treatment like?
The JuvédermTM procedure is short and simple, lasting approximately 15 to 20 minutes. Juvedérm is eased under the skin by a fine needle to fill the soft tissue of the dermis, the dense layer of skin beneath the outermost layer of skin. This adds volume and subsequently decreases the appearance of wrinkles. Results are immediate, with minimal post-procedural swelling.
Who are the best candidates for JuvédermTM?
JuvédermTM is most commonly used on patients with moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds. It can also be used in lip augmentation as well as facial contour reshaping.
JuvédermTM is most effective for treating wrinkles and folds on the lower third of the face, such as the nasolabial folds or “smile lines.” Studies have shown superior results of JuvédermTM compared to collagen-based dermal fillers, as well as the highest levels of patient satisfaction.
How many JuvédermTM treatments will I need?
Most patients require only one treatment for optimal smoothing of the skin, with results lasting up to 1 year as the filler is gradually absorbed into the body.
Is JuvédermTM FDA approved?
Yes, JuvédermTM received FDA approval in 2006 for the correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds (such as nasolabial folds). Additionally, JuvédermTM is the first FDA-approved hyaluronic dermal filler proven safe and effective for persons of color.
