Juvéderm is a hyaluronic acid in injectable form used to fill in facial lines and wrinkles, enhance the lips and correct small facial scars and imperfections. Hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body, disappears gradually with age. Juvéderm is a replacement source that helps maintain the hydration of tissues. Results typically last six to nine months depending on where it is used.
One week prior to treatment, we ask that you refrain from taking aspirin or an anti-inflammatories. Treatment is short, simple and non-surgical. A designated amount of Juvederm is injected into the treatment area after using a local anesthesia if desired.

There are minimal side effects associated with Juvéderm injections, however some patients might experience slight swelling of the treatment area. In the hours following treatment, we recommend that you avoid making excessive facial expressions. Make up can be used the following day. For the next two weeks you should limit your exposure to sunlight or excessive heat from saunas and avoid touching or massaging the treated area.
