More About Juvederm
As you age, time can diminish your skin's natural volume. The result can be wrinkles, nasolabial folds and laugh lines at the sides of your nose and mouth. Although it's no laughing matter, it's a natural part of the aging process. To naturally diminish these lines, there's Juvederm. From the makers of BOTOX® Cosmetic, Juvederm can restore volume to your skin while at the same time re-hydrating it. And, because it's made of naturally occurring hyaluronic acid, Juvederm does not require a skin test for allergies - or the long wait for test results - prior to your cosmetic medical treatment.
Juvederm is injected into the dermis in a 15 to 20 minute procedure. The results are both immediately apparent and long-lasting, up to 6 months or even more. Following your injections, it's not uncommon to experience minor redness, as well as some discomfort, itching and swelling in the area treated; most side effects subside by the end of the first week. To lessen the risk of such side effects, you are advised to avoid activities that can tax the body such as overexposure to the sun and to heat, the consumption of alcohol, as well as laborious exercise.
