What makes Juvederm different than other dermal fillers?
Juvéderm employs its unique manufacturing process to provide the highest concentration of cross-linked hyaluronic acid of any currently available hyaluronic acid dermal filler for long-lasting results. This advanced manufacturing process works to create a smooth consistency gel that flows easily into the skin and provides a smooth, natural look and feel. All other currently approved hyaluronic acid dermal fillers 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 does Juvederm differ from Botox?
Juvéderm 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, it relaxes
muscle activity in order to treat moderate to severe wrinkles.

Is treatment with Juvederm painful?
Injections may cause some discomfort during and after the injection. The smooth consistency
