Impressions of beauty change with time - as do our faces as we age. With JUVEDERM, you can have a natural beauty lift with the body's own material. JUVEDERM is a crystal-clear, non-animal, biodegradable gel based on a natural substance, called hyaluronic acid. The gel is injected into the skin in tiny amounts with a very fine needle. The result is instantaneous and produces a long-lasting, natural enhancement, gentle and safe to your skin.
Smoothing out folds and wrinkles by adding volume can make an enormous difference to your appearance. With JUVEDERM, facial rejuvenation can be carried out without the use of foreign elements. When treating wrinkles or folds, JUVEDERM is injected into the skin in tiny amounts with a very fine needle. The injected gel produces natural volume under the wrinkle, which is lifted up and smoothed out. The results can be seen immediately. Treating wrinkles with JUVEDERM is fast and safe and leaves no scars or other traces on the face.
A JUVEDERM wrinkle treatment is long-lasting but not permanent. This means that you always have the option to assess your looks. The length of time a treatment maintains its effect is very individual and depends on many factors, such as your age, skin type, life-style and muscle activity, as well as the injection technique. Experience shows that JUVEDERM can be effective for up to one year or more after the treatment of wrinkles. Together with your practitioner, you can draw up a plan for regular future visits to maintain the result. Most patients choose to have a follow-up treatment six to twelve months after the initial treatment of wrinkles.
After the injection, the lips often become a little swollen. This means that the result directly after the treatment may not be the final result. (The swelling typically resolves spontaneously within a few days or up to a week .)
