JUVÉDERM™ Injectable Gel
For a Smooth, Natural Look & Feel that lasts
What a wrinkle is
With time, exposure to the sun and other elements, skin components break down. The skin loses structure and volume. Unwelcome lines and wrinkles appear. Healthcare professionals now can correct wrinkles and facial folds, reversing the signs of aging.
How wrinkles are corrected
The appearance of wrinkles and facial folds can be smoothed by adding structure and volume underneath and bringing sunken skin back up to the surface. Generally, this is done by injecting materials into the skin, to achieve a temporary effect. When administered by a trained healthcare professional, you can be sure that the materials have been proven safe to use. One example is hyaluronic acid.
What hyaluronic acid is
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a natural complex sugar found in all living cells, and one of the major components of the dermis connective tissue matrix, along with collagen and elastin. HA retains water like a sponge, absorbing more than 1000 times its weight. This helps to attract and maintain water, hydrating your skin and increasing its volume and density. Allergan, Inc. has found ways to produce, purify, and package HA to make it available for wrinkle correction.
What JUVÉDERM™ Injectable Gel is
JUVÉDERM™ injectable gel is a smooth gel filler your doctor eases under your skin to instantly smooth out those wrinkles or folds that look like parentheses along the side of your nose and mouth. Results aren’t just instant, they are so smooth and natural, everyone will notice but no one will know. Your doctor can tell you which JUVÉDERM™ Injectable Gel formulation is right for you: JUVÉDERM™ Ultra injectable gel, optimally formulated for versatility in contouring and volumizing wrinkles and folds. JUVÉDERM™ Ultra Plus, a robust formulation for volumizing and correcting deeper wrinkles and folds.
What makes JUVÉDERM™ Injectable Gel different
JUVÉDERM™ Injectable Gel is produced through HYLACROSS technology creating a high degree of cross-linking and promoting duration for up to 6 months or longer.
