Since the beginning of time, humankind has sought the mythical “fountain of youth.” While there’s no such magical cure for aging, medical technology has produced some exciting anti-aging innovations. One such technology is a product called Juvederm.
About Juvederm
The hyaluronic acid-based filler known as Juvederm helps reduce signs of facial aging. There are several products in the Juvederm family featuring different concentrations and bonding formulations of hyaluronic acid. These products include:
Juvederm Voluma XC: This product provides additional volume under the surface of your skin, increasing the size of your cheeks.
Juvederm Vollure XC and Juvederm XC: These two combined products help reduce the loss of skin elasticity. They also help smooth out lines and wrinkles around your nose, chin, and mouth (also known as smile lines).
Juvederm Volbella XC and Juvederm Ultra XC: These formulations are used for lip enhancement treatments, which do not require surgery.
