How it Works
The main role of dermal fillers is to fill. As we age, we tend to lose volume in our face and lips. Dermal fillers such as JUVEDERM fill in those hollowed-out areas, plumping and smoothing skin and restoring volume.
What is the JUVEDERM Procedure Like?
The actual injection only takes a few minutes and results in manageable discomfort. Juvederm formulations are infused with lidocaine, an anesthetic that will help mitigate discomfort once injected. After your treatment you will be able to return to everyday life with zero downtime!
