How Juvéderm Fillers Work
All Juvéderm fillers are made from hyaluronic acid (HA), a substance naturally found in the skin that helps retain moisture and elasticity. As we age, the body’s natural production of HA decreases, leading to the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and volume loss.
Juvéderm fillers restore that lost volume by injecting HA directly into the skin, instantly smoothing wrinkles and enhancing facial contours.
The procedure itself is quick and minimally invasive, usually taking between 15 and 45 minutes depending on the areas treated. Most Juvéderm fillers contain lidocaine, a numbing agent, to enhance comfort during the injection process.
After treatment, patients may experience mild swelling or bruising, but these side effects typically subside within a few days.
