What is Juvederm?
Juvéderm® injectable gel is a
“next-generation” smooth consistency gel dermal filler that
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).
Juvéderm® comes in two formulations—Juvéderm® Ultra and
Juvéderm® Ultra Plus.
*Juvéderm® is indicated for injection into the mid to deep
dermis for correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles
and folds (such as nasolabial folds).

How is JUVÉDERM® injectable gel different from BOTOX®
Cosmetic?
Juvéderm® injectable gel is a “next-generation” hyaluronic
acid dermal filler that provides volume and is used to treat
wrinkles and folds resulting from a loss of volume beneath
the surface of the skin such as perioral lines and
nasolabial folds (lines around your mouth and nose).
Juvéderm® restores your skin's volume for a smooth, natural
look and feel. BOTOX® Cosmetic is not a filler. BOTOX®
Cosmetic relaxes muscle activity and is used to treat
moderate to severe lines caused by the dominant frown
muscles between the eyebrows (the glabellar area). This
allows the two vertical lines between the brows, often
referred to as the “11,” to temporarily diminish for a
smoother appearance. For important safety information about
BOTOX® Cosmetic, see below..

What makes JUVÉDERM® different from other dermal fillers?
BJUVÉDERM® is the ONLY hyaluronic acid (HA) filler FDA
approved to last up to 1 year. Ther unique manufacturing
process provides a high concentration of cross-linked
hyaluronic acid for long-lasting results. It also works to
create a smooth consistency gel that flows easily into the
skin and provides a smooth, natural look and feel. All other
hyaluronic acid dermal fillers currently on the market are
made of granular consistency gels. And, Juvéderm® is the
first hyaluronic acid dermal filler that has demonstrated
its safety and effectiveness in persons of color.

How is JUVÉDERM® injectable gel used in treatment?
We eases Juvéderm® injectable gel 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). Juvéderm® temporarily
adds volume to the skin and may give the appearance of a
smoother surface.

What will treatment with JUVÉDERM® injectable gel
accomplish?
Juvéderm® injectable gel will help to smooth moderate to
severe facial wrinkles and folds. Most patients need one
treatment to achieve optimal wrinkle smoothing. And one
treatment could smooth your lines and wrinkles for up to 1
year. Ask your doctor what you should expect from your
initial treatment and when they would recommend rescheduling
another appointment.

Does it hurt?
Injections may cause some discomfort during and after the
injection. The smooth consistency gel of Juvéderm® allows us
to administer it easily and smoothly. And, Juvéderm® is
injected directly into the skin using a fine needle to
reduce injection discomfort. We may choose to numb
(anesthetize) the treatment area to further minimize
discomfort..

Will I experience any side effects?
For the few that do, most side effects are mild or moderate
in nature, and their duration is short lasting (7 days or
less). The most common side effects include, but are not
limited to, temporary injections site reactions such as
redness, pain/tenderness, firmness, swelling, lumps/bumps,
bruising, itching, and discoloration.

Who should NOT use Juvederm?
Juvederm should not be used in the presence of infection
at the proposed injection site(s) and in individuals
with known hypersensitivity to any ingredient in the
formulation. Patients with neuromuscular disorders such
as ALS, myasthenia gravis or Lambert-Eaton syndrome may
be at increased risk of serious side effects.
