What Is JUVÉDERM Made of?

The JUVÉDERM line of products utilizes hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance found in your skin. Hyaluronic acid is responsible for the level of moisture and elasticity in the skin. As we age, our bodies level of hyaluronic acid becomes depleted, causing the skin to become dry, sunken in, saggy, and wrinkled.

Why Should I Get JUVÉDERM?

Traditionally, patients would undergo lifts and augmentations in an effort to take years off of their faces. These types of procedures can be costly, time-consuming, and the recovery can sometimes be unpleasant. With JUVÉDERM, patients can achieve similar looking results with just a few simple injections!

Each JUVÉDERM product offers a unique treatment solution to address various aesthetic facial skin issues. These treatments are all minimally invasive, so no surgery is required. This allows patients the opportunity to achieve their desired look without any downtime or a painful recovery period.
