Juvederm is a prescription dermal filler used to smooth out superficial facial wrinkles and add volume to areas of the face that may be fat-depleted or simply need a little boost. Juvederm, a hyaluronic acid gel injection, can be used in the lips, lines around the lips, mouth and chin, as well the cheeks.
Hyaluronic acid is a slowly absorbing substance which is naturally present in the skin and maintains the hydration of tissues. Acting very naturally but not irreversibly, your lips regain their sensuality and your face its smooth curves. When injected into the the cheeks, Juvederm can create a more youthful appearance that can last up to a year.
Side effects, rare and usually mild to moderate, can last up to 7 days and include temporary injection site reactions, such as redness, pain, firmness, swelling and bruising.
