This smooth consistency gel is made of hyaluronic acid - a naturally occurring substance in your skin that helps to add volume and hdryation. Juvéderm helps to instantly restore your skin's volume and smooth away moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, like your "smile lines" or nasolabial folds (the creases that run from the bottom of your nose to the corners of your mouth).
With Juvéderm™ the injection process takes only about 15 minutes and results are immediate. Plus, there's minimal recovery or downtime. So you can step into the office for a treatment and step right back into your life.
Juvéderm™ injectable gel is also the first FDA-approved hyaluronic acid dermal filler that is proven to be safe and effective for persons of color.
