Juvederm is a hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler. The substance is found naturally in our skin and tissues, and works to hydrate and add volume to the face. The gel formula is designed to smooth nasolabial folds, or smile lines, and add volume and definition to the cheeks and lips.
Juvederm fillers are used to treat a number of facial wrinkles and folds, including nasolabial folds (the folds that extend from the corners of your nose to the corners of your mouth) and marionette lines (the lines that extend from the corners of the mouth to the chin). Juvederm fillers are also commonly used for lip augmentation.
