What is Juvederm? Juvederm is a popular dermal filler composed of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body. When it is injected in the treatment area, it lifts, smooths, and plumps the skin for a more youthful and vibrant appearance.
It is often recommended for:
- Lip enhancement
- Filling out hollows beneath the eyes
- Plumping up gaunt facial features (eg. the cheeks)
- Eliminating upper lip lines

How Exactly Does Juvederm Work?
Juvederm is a dermal filler made from hyaluronic acid, a sugar-based substance found naturally in the body. Its role is to maintain hydration and act as a cushioning agent for your skin. When this is injected in the treatment area, it works to plump up areas of your face that have lost volume due to age, resulting in a more youthful appearance.
Juvederm can be used to effectively treat multiple anti-aging concerns, such as:
- Smile lines
- Marionette lines
- Thin lips
- Nasolabial folds
- Undefined facial contours (eg. cheeks, chin, and jawline)
How long does a treatment take? Typically, a Juvederm treatment can be completed in 15 minutes and you will be able to return immediately to your daily activities.
How is it administered? Your Juvederm specialist will use a fine needle to administer the gel beneath your skin. You may elect for topical anesthesia in the area for greater comfort.
