Juvéderm: the “liquid facelift” that will have people guessing about your age
By Thomas T. Nguyen, M.D
What is Juvéderm, and how does it work?
Also called a “liquid facelift,” Juvéderm is a dermal filler that is primarily composed of hyaluronic acid, a sugar molecule that naturally occurs in the body and helps keep the skin plump and hydrated by binding water to collagen. When injected in strategic locations in the face by an experienced provider, Juvéderm can help revitalize your appearance by filling in lost volume and thereby providing lift to sagging, wrinkled skin. Juvéderm injections are:- FDA approved
- Fast, with immediate results
- Convenient
- Comfortable
- Good for patients who are seeking mild to moderate results that look natural
- A great option for patients who want a minimally invasive anti-aging treatment option
Actual Patient Results
Additionally, there is no downtime after your injections, and most patients experience only mild side effects such as redness, swelling, bruising, firmness, lumpiness, or mild discomfort in the injection sites that typically dissipate within about a week. The treated area may look “over-treated” for a few days until swelling in the area resolves.
