Juvéderm® is a smooth consistency gel made of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in your skin that helps to add volume and hydration. Your healthcare professional eases Juvéderm® injectable gel under the skin using a fine needle, to reduce injection discomfort, to instantly restore your skin?s volume and smooth away facial wrinkles and folds, like your ?smile lines? or ?parentheses? (nasolabial folds, the creases that run from the bottom of your nose to the corners of your mouth).

Juvéderm® provides a smooth, natural look and feel. In fact, studies show superior results of Juvéderm® compared to a collagen-based dermal filler. With Juvéderm® the injection process takes only about 15 minutes and results are immediate. Plus, there?s a minimal recovery or downtime.

Juvéderm® injectable gel is the first FDA-approved hyaluronic acid dermal filler that is proven to be safe and effective for persons of color.
