Juvederm™

Juvederm™ was approved in 2006 by the FDA as a safe option for softening wrinkles, plumping lips, and maintaining a youthful appearance - and since then, its popularity has skyrocketed.

The Juvederm™ procedure is simple, painless, and requires little to no recovery time. Juvederm™ uses hyaluronic acid, which is naturally found in our bodies and absorbs 1,000 times its weight in water. When this is injected into the problem areas of the face, it adds volume to the area, smoothing out wrinkles, lines and folds.

Hyaluronic acid has also been found to maintain or even accelerate the forming of new collagen. Our clients have been thrilled with the results, which are immediately visible and last up to one year.
