Juvederm smooths the skin and replaces lost volume under the eyes, in the nasolabial folds (smile lines), and to plump the lips or creases and lines around the mouth.
Juvederm contains hyaluronic acid (HA) - a natural tissue substance. HA is responsible for helping retain moisture in the skin and provide the skin's youthful plumpness. With Juvederm, the skin can smooth and volume can be replaced, lasting from 6 to 9 months.
Juvederm is administered by injecting a long-lasting dermal filler to improve lines and creases around the mouth and to plump the lips.
The procedure lasts a few minutes and can sting or burn during injection. A topical anesthetic cream, ice pack, or local anesthetic injection can be used in the most sensitive areas.
