Juvederm Dermal Filler

Overview

Juvederm is one of the newest, "next generation" substances in cosmetic surgery known as "dermal fillers" or "injectable fillers". Juvederm is FDA approved and is one of the fastest growing nonsurgical aesthetic procedures in the United States.

Everyone’s skin ages differently and JUVÉDERM® XC may be used to rejuvenate multiple problem areas.* From smile lines to vertical lip lines, you can smooth away unwanted wrinkles and restore natural contours.

Juvederm is often used to:

  • Plump up folds that run from the bottom of your nose to the corners of your mouth
  • Fill in the prominent vertical wrinkles, (the "11s") between the eyebrows
  • Augment the hollows under your eyes
  • Reduce the "Marionette lines," the down-turned creases at the corner of the mouth
  • Correct scars
  • Augment thin or aging lips

You will have a smoother, younger-looking face. An injectable filler like Juvederm can accomplish facial rejuvenation and you can leave the doctor´s office immediately and fully resume normal activities by the next day. Moreover, the cost is less than surgery.

Call Avanti Skin Center for a free consultation.
During the consultation you will have the opportunity to talk about your goals and expectations for your treatments, ask any questions you might have, and look at before and after pictures of previous patients who had the same procedure. You will learn about the benefits, precautions, treatment response, adverse reactions, method of anesthetic administration, if any, and other important issues.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does JUVÉDERM® XC Work?

Young, healthy-looking skin contains an abundance of a naturally hydrating substance called hyaluronic acid (HA). But as you age, sunlight and other factors can reduce the amount of HA in your skin. The lack of HA causes your skin to lose structure and volume, creating unwanted facial wrinkles and folds - like those parentheses lines around your nose and mouth.

Using a dermal filler like JUVÉDERM® XC is a safe and effective way to replace the HA your skin has lost, bringing back its volume and smoothing away facial wrinkles and folds.

What Are the Results of Juvederm and How Long Do They Last?

Juvederm´s results usually appear natural, and are seen immediately . However, the body absorbs the Juvederm( aka: hyaluronic acid) over time, so the injections must be repeated periodically to maintain the refreshed look; Juvederm Ultra and Juvederm Ultra Plus are said to last about a year.
