Fillers
Fillers like Juvéderm is a popular cosmetic treatment that is used to add volume to the face and smooth out wrinkles and fine lines. These fillers are made from hyaluronic acid, a natural substance that is found in the body. Hyaluronic acid is responsible for keeping the skin hydrated and plum, but as we age, the levels of hyaluronic acid in the body decrease, which leads to wrinkles and fine lines.
Juvéderm is injected under the skin to add volume and smooth out wrinkles and fine lines. It can be used to add volume to the cheeks, lips, and jawline and to smooth out wrinkles and lines on the forehead, around the eyes, and around the mouth. The effects of these fillers typically last for several months, after which the treatment will need to be repeated.
