Juvéderm™ injectable gel is a hyaluronic acid dermal filler
that helps to instantly restore your skin's volume and smooth away facial
wrinkles and folds. Juvéderm is available in two formulations that
allow our physicians to tailor your treatment and address your specific
needs. Juvéderm Ultra is used to correct most superficial
facial wrinkles. Juvéderm Ultra Plus is a more robust
formulation, intended for contouring deeper folds.
Juvéderm is injected into the skin using a fine
needle to temporarily fill in and augment the treatment area. Most patients
need one treatment to achieve optimal wrinkle smoothing, and the results
last about 6 months.
Juvéderm, unlike previous dermal fillers, can smooth
thin areas in the skin with little risk of reaction. It's also the first
FDA-approved hyaluronic acid dermal filler that has proven its safety and
effectiveness in persons of color. Studies with Juvéderm showed no
increased risk of hyperpigmentation or hypertrophic scarring in patients of
color.
Most side effects are mild or moderate in nature, and
their duration is short lasting
(7 days or less). The most common side effects include, but are not limited
to, temporary injection site reactions such as redness, pain/tenderness,
firmness, swelling, lumps/bumps, bruising, itching, and discoloration. As
with all skin injection procedures, there is a risk of infection.
Like
Restylane® and Perlane®,
Juvederm can be used simultaneously with collagen and BOTOX Cosmetic for
enhanced results. Our dermatologists will advise you which combination of fillers is
best
for your needs.
