Juvederm Cosmetic Filler

in Torrance, CA

Also serving Palos Verdes & Redondo Beach

Juvederm is the one of the latest dermal fillers introduced to the U.S. market by Allergan, the company which manufactures Botox. It is a hyaluronic acid based filler similar to Restylane. However, JUVÉDERM™ injectable gel employs its unique manufacturing process to provide the highest concentration of cross-linked hyaluronic acid of any currently available hyaluronic acid dermal filler for long-lasting results. This advanced manufacturing process also creates a smooth consistency gel that flows consistently and easily into the skin and provides a smooth, natural look and feel.

Recently approved by the FDA, Juvéderm™ injectable gel is a “next-generation” dermal filler. The smooth consistency gel helps to instantly restore your skin’s volume and smooth away facial wrinkles and folds, like your “smile lines” or “parentheses” (nasolabial folds—the creases that run from the bottom of your nose to the corners of your mouth).

With Juvederm, the results are immediate with minimal downtime. Most patients need one treatment to achieve optimal wrinkle smoothing, and the results last up to 6 months or more. Juvederm can be used virtually anywhere on the face, with most success in the lips, nasolabial folds (lines from the nose to the corners of the mouth), and the marionette lines (lines from the corners of the mouth downward to the jawline).

Juvéderm FAQs

What is Juvéderm Made Of?

Juvéderm Cosmetic Filler Torrance CAHyaluronic acid is found naturally in your body. This substance helps your body retain moisture, especially in the skin, eyes and joint fluid. Like collagen and elastin (proteins responsible for youthful, taut skin), hyaluronic acid production decreases as you get older, causing your body and skin to lose hydration and volume. Juvéderm is an injectable filler made with hyaluronic acid to physically fill the treated area, adding volume and drawing moisture to reduce lines and wrinkles.

Juvéderm Voluma uses Vycross technology to integrate the dermal filler with your natural tissues for better volume, improved contour and smoother skin. The Juvéderm family has a variety of applications, including lip enhancement and treatment of lip lines, nasolabial folds and marionette lines.

How Long Do Juvéderm Results Last?

Dermal filler treatments such as Juvéderm offer temporary results as the hyaluronic acid is slowly absorbed by your body, causing the anti-aging effects to fade away. How long your Juvéderm results last depends on the treated area and which Juvéderm filler is used. Some men and women enjoy anti-aging benefits for six months, while others may see visible improvement for a year or longer.
