JUVÉDERM® Injectable Gel

JUVÉDERM® Injectable Gel is a dermal filler comprised of Hyaluronic Acid (HA) in a natural gel.  HA naturally occurs in the body and it works by drawing fluid to the area to fill the wrinkle.  JUVÉDERM® Injectable Gel is typically used around the lips to fill in unwanted lines or to create more fullness.  It can also be used in most areas of the face to treat deep wrinkles.  The results of JUVÉDERM® Injectable Gel are soft and natural, just how your face and lips should look and feel.
