JuvédermTM Injectable Gel

As you age, you may develop wrinkles and folds around your mouth commonly known as “laugh lines.” Now the laugh is on them, thanks to Juvéderm Injectable Gel. Juvéderm is considered a “next generation” breakthrough in anti-aging treatment. Made from natural products, Juvéderm is gently eased under the skin to restore skin volume, smooth away wrinkles and bring sunken skin back to the surface.


Whether you call them “laugh lines,” “parentheses,” or “marionette lines,” you don’t have to live with them anymore. Juvéderm instantly helps erase facial lines and folds with beautiful, lasting results.

How Juvéderm works

Juvéderm is a dermal filler made of hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring compound that exists in a liquid form.  Cross-linking makes it a gel ideal for anti-aging treatment. HA is one of the major components of the dermis, along with collagen and elastin. HA retains water like a sponge to keep your skin firm and healthy. Through age and exposure to the sun, your cells gradually lose their HA which dehydrates your skin and decreases its volume, causing folds and wrinkles to form. Juvéderm temporarily replaces lost HA with its own natural HA formulation. FDA-approved, Juvéderm rejuvenates your skin naturally without using animal products.

What treatment involves

Correcting facial lines with Juvéderm is a quick in-office procedure at Skin Solutions from Plastic & Hand. One of our board-certified plastic surgeons gently injects Juvéderm into the dermis using an ultra-fine needle. Because of its smooth consistency, Juvéderm flows easily into the skin. This minimizes the discomfort that can sometimes occur with injectable treatments and creates a noticeably smoother, more natural look than other formulations.

At Skin Solutions from Plastic & Hand, we offer Juvéderm in two formulas:

  • Juvéderm Ultra for contouring and adding volume to smooth wrinkles and folds
  • Juvéderm Ultra Plus, a stronger formulation used to correct deeper wrinkles and folds

You and your Plastic & Hand plastic surgeon can decide which Juvéderm formula is best for you.

The results you can expect

You’ll see results immediately after your Juvéderm procedure. And because there’s no downtime, you can be back to your regular routine right away.

One of the most remarkable things about Juvéderm is how long it lasts. You can expect to enjoy the results for six months or more, even up to a year!

Possible side effects

There may be a little redness and minor discomfort right after your procedure. Any side effects you experience will be mild and of short duration.
