JuvedermT / JUVÉDERM®
Juvederm™ consists of Hyaluronic acid, a plant derived substance
that helps to add volume in a smooth natural looking way. Hyaluronic acid is
a naturally occurring substance in your skin, so there is no need for allergy
testing. Juvederm can be used to add volume and is especially good for
lip augmentation. It is used for different cosmetic concerns such as; scars,
tear troughs (under eyes), nasolabial folds, marionette folds, jowls and
others. Studies show superior results of Juvéderm™ compared to collagen-
based dermal fillers.
JUVÉDERM® XC is manufactured using HYLACROSS™ technology
and is infused with lidocaine to improve comfort during treatment. In addition,
Juvéderm™ injectable gel is the first FDA-approved hyaluronic acid dermal
filler that is proven to be safe and effective for persons of color. Dr. Hamilton
also chaired the opinion paper for the ASDS on Juvéderm™ (co-authors Gary
Monheit, M.D. and Kimberly Butterwick, M.D.).
