New Juvederm is a smooth gel filler that is eased under the skin to instantly smooth those “parentheses” lines on the sides of your nose and mouth. Recently approved by the FDA, Juvéderm injectable gel is a “next-generation” dermal filler. It is a smooth consistency gel made of hyaluronic acid—a naturally occurring substance in your skin that helps to add volume and hydration. In addition, Juvederm injectable gel is the first FDA-approved hyaluronic acid dermal filler that is proven to be safe and effective for persons of color.

Juvederm injectable gel is a non-surgical treatment where the gel is eased under the skin using a fine needle to augment, or fill, the soft tissue of the dermis—the dense inner layer of skin beneath the epidermis—to add volume and diminish wrinkles and folds in the lower third of the face, like your “laugh lines,” “smile lines” or “parentheses” (nasolabial folds), or “marionette lines” (oral commissures). Juvederm is made from hyaluronic acid—a naturally occurring substance in your skin that helps hydrate and add volume. Juvederm restores the hyaluronic acid of your skin that can diminish with age, helping to smooth wrinkles and folds.

Juvederm employs a unique manufacturing process to provide the highest concentration of cross-linked hyaluronic acid available for long-lasting results. The advanced manufacturing process also creates a smooth consistency gel that flows easily into the skin during the injection process and provides a smooth, natural look and feel. The smooth gel differs from the granular consistency gels of other existing hyaluronic acid dermal fillers.

Juvederm is a non-surgical treatment and requires a minimal recovery or downtime. Juvederm injectable gel is available in two formulation—Juvederm Ultra for versatility in contouring and volumizing facial wrinkles and folds, and Juvederm Ultra Plus, a robust formulation for volumizing and correcting deeper folds and wrinkles.
