 Juvéderm™ Injectable Gel

How does Juvéderm™ work?

As you age, your skin changes. For example, it reduces production of a naturally hydrating substance called hyaluronic acid (HA). Over time, the loss of HA in your skin results in facial wrinkles and folds, like those "parentheses" lines around your mouth.  Juvéderm™ injectable gel replaces the HA your skin has lost, bringing back its volume and smoothing away facial wrinkles and folds.  Juvéderm™ injectable gel is indicated for correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds around the nose and mouth. You can experience Juvéderm through a quick, in-office procedure. Dr. Van Kirk will gently ease Juvéderm™ under your skin to instantly smooth out the wrinkles and folds on your face. You'll see the difference immediately!

What makes Juvéderm™ different?

While other HA fillers on the market have a more granular consistency,  Juvéderm™ injectable gel is the first smooth-consistency HA gel. This is due to an innovative manufacturing process called HYLACROSS™ technology. HYLACROSS™ gives Juvéderm™ its unique smooth-gel properties as well as an optimal gel structure that holds up over time. That's why it is a breakthrough in HA dermal fillers!  Juvéderm™ is the only HA filler that's FDA approved to last up to one year. When Juvéderm™ was tested in a clinical setting among people who didn't know which filler they were getting, nearly 90% stated a preference for Juvéderm™! In addition, Juvéderm™ has been tested on all skin phototypes, both male and female, so everyone can enjoy the benefits of this amazing wrinkle therapy.
