SKIN TREATMENTS. Juvederm

Improve the Tone, Texture and Appearance of Your Skin

Juvéderm™ is a next generation dermal filler used to restore volume and treat facial wrinkles and folds, including the 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 healthy skin that helps to add volume and hydration. Hyaluronic acid plays an important role in the way your skin looks, feels, and functions. A natural complex sugar found in your skin and in all mammals, it's a major component of the connective tissue matrix in the dermis—the dense, inner layer of skin beneath the epidermis. This matrix is made up of hyaluronic acid as well as two connective fibers—collagen and elastin.

By its nature, hyaluronic acid retains water like a sponge, absorbing more than 1,000 times its weight. This helps to attract and maintain moisture in the space between cells, hydrating your skin and increasing its volume and density. Hyaluronic acid also helps transport essential nutrients to your skin's cells. Hyaluronic acid provides volume, helping to contribute to the skin's full and healthy appearance.

As you age and your skin is exposed to environmental pollutants and the sun's ultraviolet rays, your cells gradually lose the ability to produce hyaluronic acid. Studies reveal that older skin typically has lower levels of hyaluronic acid than younger skin. As you age, your skin tissue becomes dehydrated and the collagen and elastin fibers lose their structure, resulting in a loss of skin volume and the formation of the facial wrinkles and folds that are common characteristics of aged skin. Juvederm can help counteract these effects of aging.

Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers like Juvéderm™ injectable gel can help to temporarily replace the lost hyaluronic acid and restore your skin's volume and smooth, natural appearance.
