What is Juvederm™ ?
Juvederm™ Ultra and Ultra Plus is a hyaluronic acid dermal filler. This injectable is a “smooth gel” that flows consistently into the skin to smooth away wrinkles, folds and to restore volume.
What areas are treated with Juvederm™ ?
Juvederm™ is being used to correct those areas of the face and jaw line that need to be rejuvenated.
What’s different about the Juvederm™ formulations from other
dermal fillers?
J
uvederm™ is available in two injectable gel formulations – Juvederm™ Ultra and Ultra Plus. The Juvederm™ Ultra gel allows for more versatility in restoring contour and volume to your face and smoothing away wrinkles and folds. Juvederm™ Ultra Plus is a more robust formula, which allows for treatment of deeper wrinkles and folds while restoring volume as well.
Is Juvederm™ suitable for persons of color and different skin tones?
YES. Juvederm™ is the first hyaluronic acid dermal filler to be approved by the FDA for safe, effective treatment for persons of color and different skin tones – without the risk of hyper-pigmentation and hyper-tropic scarring?
How does Juvederm™ differ from Botox Cosmetic®?
Botox is not a dermal filler – it is a muscle relaxant generally used in the upper facial area to relax that area between the eyes that cause those two parallel lines.
What is hyaluronic acid and cross-linking?
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in all mammals that helps keep the skin hydrated. As we age, production slows down and lines, wrinkles and folds begin to appear. Cross-linking is a unique manufacturing process that makes Juvederm™ effective and longer lasting.
Are Juvederm™ treatments painful and how long does it take?
Since it is a smooth gel that flows easily and consistently into the skin, there is very little to no discomfort. A treatment generally takes 15 minutes or more.
How long do the results from a Juvederm™ treatment last?
Results last 6 months or longer. Follow-up treatments may be needed for maintenance.
Can I get financing for Juvederm™ treatments?
Yes – today there are many cosmetic procedures that can be financed with Care Credit financing.
