What Is JUVÉDERM?
JUVÉDERM is a collection of FDA-approved dermal fillers made from hyaluronic acid, a substance that naturally occurs in your skin, providing hydration and volume. The JUVÉDERM family includes several specialized formulations designed to address specific areas and concerns—whether it’s softening fine lines, restoring lost volume, or enhancing your lips.
Issues JUVÉDERM Can Treat?
JUVÉDERM products can be used for a variety of aesthetic concerns, including:
- Addressing Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Smoothing lines around the mouth and nose, such as nasolabial folds and marionette lines.
- Restoring Volume: Plumping cheeks, lips, or under-eye hollows for a youthful, rested look.
- Improving Facial Contouring: Sculpting and defining the chin and jawline.
- Non-Surgical Facial Rejuvenation: With products like Voluma, a “liquid facelift” can restore midface structure, improve sagging, and define cheekbones—without surgery or downtime.
- Lip Enhancement: With Volbella, patients can achieve natural-looking lip fullness and smooth away vertical lip lines.
