Juvéderm® Injectable Gel is a smooth consistency gel capable of restoring volume to skin and smoothing away moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds. It is made of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the skin that helps add volume and hydration.
Juvéderm® Filler Benefits
Juvéderm® is a safe, effective, and a non-surgical option for those that want to diminish the appearance of moderate to severe facial wrinkles. It is non-animal dermal filler of smooth consistency that, unlike most hyaluronic acid fillers which have granular consistencies, allows for easy injection and instantly natural results.
Juvéderm® Ultra
Juvéderm® Ultra allows for versatility in contouring and volumizing wrinkles and folds. Juvéderm® Ultra Plus is for correcting deeper and more severe wrinkles and folds. This allows for a completely personalized treatment tailored by your healthcare professionals to meet your needs. The results make you look naturally younger, refreshed and can last up to one year. Juvéderm® is the first FDA-approved hyaluronic acid dermal filler proven safe and effective for persons of color.
Juvéderm® Treatment Details
The injection itself usually takes approximately 15 minutes.
Although anesthesia is not required, your doctor may use a topical or injectable anesthesia to numb the treatment area. Juvéderm® Injectable Gel will be injected under your skin to add volume or fill wrinkles and folds. After the injection, your doctor may gently massage the treated areas.
Recovery Time from Juvéderm®
There is minimal recovery time with Juvéderm®. For the first 24 hours following treatment, you should avoid strenuous exercise, excessive sun or heat exposure, and consumption of alcoholic beverages in order to help minimize risk of temporary redness, swelling, and/or itching at the treatment sites.

Some temporary symptoms, such as redness, pain, firmness, swelling, and bumps may occur but usually clear up on their own within a week. Any swelling at the injection site can be minimized with an ice pack for a brief period. Your healthcare provider will tell you when makeup may be applied after your treatment.
