Juvederm™ injectable gel is a “next-generation” smooth consistency gel made of hyaluronic acid. It helps 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). Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance found in all mammals that helps to hydrate and add volume to your skin. Juvederm™ is indicated for injection into the mid to deep dermis for correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds (such as nasolabial folds). It adds volume to facial tissue and restores a smoother appearance to the face. Juvederm™ is eased into the skin using a fine needle to temporarily fill in and augment the treatment area and smooth moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds such as “smile lines” or “parentheses” (nasolabial folds) and “marionette lines” (oral commissures). Juvederm™ temporarily adds volume to the skin and may give the appearance of a smoother surface.
