Hyaluronic acid makes an effective basis for a dermal filler because of its unparalleled ability to attract and retain water. Within your skin cells, hyaluronic acid helps regulate a healthy moisture balance. However, as you get age, the natural levels of hyaluronic acid in your body decrease, which causes undesirable dry skin and wrinkles. At that point, your option is to either apply hyaluronic acid to your skin topically or turn to an injectable product for longer-lasting results and increased potency, compared to over-the-counter products. JUVÉDERM® is offered in different formulations for injection at different facial areas. These brands in the JUVÉDERM® family include:


In general, JUVÉDERM® is an excellent option for busy women and
men who want to achieve a younger, more refreshed and alert
appearance without any downtime or post-treatment restrictions.
Patients seeking the following results are good candidates for JUVÉDERM®:
There are some potential side effects to be aware of with JUVÉDERM®, though these are typically mild, short-lived, and easy to manage with at-home remedies such as ice packs and over-the-counter pain medication. These after-effects can include redness, tenderness, swelling, and bruising. If you are concerned about the effects of dermal filler injections, be sure to discuss these questions with Dr. Gerth at your treatment consultation. We can provide you with all the information you need to feel confident in your choice to pursue dermal fillers.
