The Juvéderm® facial fillers are made using advanced technology, they have a good safety profile and give you highly natural-looking and long lasting results. There have been more than 26 million treatments worldwide with Juvederm® facial fillers.
Juvéderm® facial fillers use a unique crosslinking technology, called VYCROSS, that allows for longer lasting results and a better lift. When a facial filler is injected, it’s essential that it integrates with your tissue. Juvéderm® facial fillers are known for their exceptionally smooth consistency and their ability to integrate with your own facial tissue to get that natural look.
Each Juvéderm® facial filler serves its unique purpose, whether it’s to smooth away wrinkles, restore volume for a gentle lifting effect or to reshape and redefine the lips. Your practitioner will likely use several products from the Juvéderm® range to create a tailored treatment plan for you.
When injected, Juvéderm® facial fillers have minimal swelling, allowing the results to be seen immediately. In addition, most Juvéderm®facial fillers include lidocaine, an anaesthetic, that minimises pain during injection.
