JUVEDERM XC

Laugh lines aren’t very funny. As your skin ages the tissues beneath the skin lose the natural reoccuring hyaluronic acid (HA) causing laugh lines and unwanted wrinkles. JuvedermXC® is a safe and effective way to replace the HA your skin has lost, bringing back its volume and smoothing away facial wrinkles and folds. JuvedermXC® has the highest concentration of HA available on the market, for longer lasting effects, and is only derma-filler that comes in a smooth gel formula.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

JuvedermXC® with the active ingredient, hyaluronic acid, the natural substance already present in your body, is injected beneath the skin to replenish the naturally reoccuring substances your skin has lost over the years. Juvederm® brings back the volume and instantly smooths away wrinkles around the mouth and nose.

HOW LONG DOES IT LAST?

Results vary by patient, but JuvedermXC® generally lasts up to 12 months.

FDA APPROVED?

JuvedermXC is FDA Approved and a natural, biodegradable substance of non-animal origin.

WHAT TO EXPECT?

Injection-related reactions such as swelling, redness and tenderness may occur. You should avoid strenuous exercise, and extreme hot or cold after treatment for 48 hours. With lip treatment you should avoid puckering your lips for the first two days after treatment.
