WHAT IS JUVÉDERM?
Juvéderm is a dermal filler that can temporarily restore your skin’s volume, bringing about a more youthful appearance. As we age, our skin changes. Over time, the natural volume of youthful skin begins to diminish as wrinkles and folds form. With Juvéderm, you don’t have to sit back and let it happen!
WHAT IS JUVÉDERM MADE OF?
These dermal fillers are made of non-animal based hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance that already exists in the human body and is used to provide volume and fullness to the skin.
WHAT IS TREATMENT LIKE?
During treatment, our physician will ease Juvéderm under the skin in the targeted areas to achieve desired results. Juvederm has a local anesthetic within it, so that you feel minimal discomfort during it's administration. We may also apply a topical anethesia to numb treatment sites if needed.
