What Is JUVÉDERM™
Injectable Gel?
As we age, our
skin changes. Over time, the natural volume of youthful skin
begins to diminish as wrinkles and folds form. But, with
Juvéderm™ injectable gel, you don't have to just sit back
and let it happen!

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 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—so everyone will notice
(but no one will know)! In fact, studies show superior results
of Juvéderm™ compared to a collagen-based dermal filler.†
