Juvederm
What is Juvéderm™?
Juvéderm™ is hyaluronic acid (HA) a natural, complex sugar found in all living cells and is an important component of the skin. HA retains water like a sponge, absorbing 1,000 times its weight. This helps to attract and maintain water, hydrating your skin and increasing its volume and density. Hyaluronic injections have also been shown to stimulate collagen production.
How long does Juvéderm™ last?
Results are instant. You will see an immediate improvement to the treated area. Juvéderm™ provides results that last up to one year.
Is treatment with Juvéderm™ painful?
Juvéderm™ is injected directly into the skin using a fine needle to reduce injection discomfort. Skin Laser Clinic may choose to numb the treated area to further minimize discomfort or we will use Juvéderm™ products that contain the anesthetic Lidocaine 1%.
What are potential side effects?
Possible side effects are mild to moderate and are relatively short lasting (less than seven days). These may include temporary skin reactions such as redness, swelling, tenderness and bruising, which are easily covered with makeup.
Treatable areas:
- Cheek volume
- Smile lines
- Lip volume
- Lip border
- Chin and jaw volume
