As we age, our skin changes. Over time, the natural volume of youthful skin begins to diminish as wrinkles and folds form. But, with Juvéderm^™ injectable gel, you don't have to just sit back and let it happen! Recently approved by the FDA, Juvéderm™ injectable gel is a "next-generation" dermal filler. The smooth consistency gel helps to instantly restore your skin's volume and smooth away facial wrinkles and folds, like your "smile lines" or "parentheses" (nasolabial folds—the creases that run from the bottom of your nose to the corners of your mouth).

Juvéderm^™ is a smooth consistency gel made of hyaluronic acid—a naturally occurring substance in your skin that helps to add volume and hydration. Your plastic surgeon eases Juvéderm^™ injectable gel under the skin to provide a smooth, natural look and feel—so everyone will notice (but no one will know)! In fact, studies show superior results of Juvéderm^™ compared to a collagen-based dermal filler.^* And, almost 90% of all study volunteers who were treated with both Juvéderm^™ injectable gel and another dermal filler^* preferred Juvéderm^™! In addition, Juvéderm^™ injectable gel is the first FDA-approved hyaluronic acid dermal filler that is proven to be safe and effective for persons of color.

What to expect after your Juvederm™ treatment:

You should avoid the following for at least 24 hours after Juvederm:

• Strenuous exercise
• Consumption of alcoholic beverages
• Extended exposure to sun or heat

Exposure to any of the above may cause temporary redness, swelling, and/or itching at the Juvederm injection sites.  If you have swelling at the injection site, you can apply an ice pack for a brief period.
