Are you curious about what you should know about Juvéderm®? Our Los Angeles-based team of board-certified and cosmetic fellowship-trained dermatologists knows that patients who are new to this treatment in particular will want to learn as much as they can about how it works and what to expect before and after their session.
Juvéderm® is a popular dermal filler that has been used to enhance and rejuvenate the appearance of the skin for more than a decade. Here are five fascinating facts you may not know about the injectable:
1. It Is Made from Hyaluronic Acid
Juvéderm® is made from a substance that is naturally found in the body, known as hyaluronic acid. This means that it is well-tolerated by most patients and can help to provide natural-looking results. In Juvéderm®, the hyaluronic acid is modified to create a smooth, gel-like substance that can be easily injected into the skin to enhance the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
2. It Can Last for Up to Two Years
Depending on the type of Juvéderm® used and the area being treated, the results can last for up to two years. This means that you can enjoy a youthful, refreshed appearance without having to undergo frequent treatments.
3. It Can Treat Multiple Areas of the Face
Juvéderm® is versatile and can be used to treat multiple areas of the face, including the lips, cheeks, lower face, and under-eye area.
4. It Can Treat More Than Just Wrinkles
Juvéderm® can also be used to add volume to areas of the face that have lost volume due to aging or become deflated, as well as to treat scars and other skin imperfections.
5. It Is Fast-Acting
Juvéderm® is known for its quick onset, with some improvements visible right after a treatment and the full results often becoming visible within just a few days of the injections, after any initial swelling subside. The exact timeline can depend on various factors, including the type of filler used, the amount of filler injected, the individual’s skin type, and the area of the face being treated.
