JUVÉDERM®
Advanced Fillers…
JUVÉDERM® is a collection of 6 unique hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers that temporarily add volume for different needs in seven specific areas of the face.
Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is a sugar naturally produced by the body that retains moisture in the skin. The main ingredient in JUVÉDERM® fillers is a modified form of HA. JUVÉDERM® fillers temporarily restore volume loss in certain areas of the face and help provide long-lasting, natural-looking results.
JUVÉDERM® filler is injected into the treatment area by a licensed specialist using a needle or cannula. JUVÉDERM® fillers add volume to the treatment area. Results with JUVÉDERM® fillers are not permanent, and retreatment is usually needed to maintain your results.
Vycross® Technology is a proprietary technology designed by Allergan Aesthetics for use in the JUVÉDERM® Collection of Fillers, specifically JUVÉDERM® VOLUMA® XC, JUVÉDERM® VOLBELLA® XC, and JUVÉDERM® VOLLURE® XC.
The unique Vycross® Technology process cross-links the hyaluronic acid (HA) molecules in these JUVÉDERM® fillers (pictured right), that results in a specialized, smooth gel filler. The safety and effectiveness of Vycross® Technology has been widely studied. Ask your licensed specialist about Vycross® Technology to learn more.
