What is Juvederm?
Juvederm is a collection of FDA approved injectable gel fillers used to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, restore lost volume and enhance facial contours. It’s part of the hyaluronic acid dermal fillers family which work by attracting and holding moisture beneath the skin to add volume and create a smooth appearance.
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the human body that keeps skin plump and hydrated. As we age our natural levels decline, we lose volume, smile lines, marionette lines and definition in the mid face and jawline. Juvederm treatments restore that youthful structure and contour in a way that’s both subtle and effective.
