What is Juvéderm?
As we age, our skin transforms. Over years, the natural volume of youthful skin begins to diminish as wrinkles and folds develop. But, with Juvéderm™ injectable gel, you don’t have to just sit back and let this happen! Recently approved by Health Canada, Juvéderm™ injectable gel is a “next-generation” dermal filler. The smooth consistency gel helps to instantly rejuvenate your skin’s volume and smooth away facial wrinkles and creases, like your “smile lines” or nasolabial folds, which are the creases that run from the bottom of your nose to the corners of your mouth.
Juvéderm™ is a smooth consistency gel made of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring matter in your skin that works to add volume and hydration. Our medical director, Dr. T.H. Yu, will inject the Juvéderm™ injectable gel under the skin to provide a natural look and feel so everyone will notice (but no one will know)! In fact, studies show superior results of Juvéderm™ compared to other collagen-based dermal fillers. Almost 90% of all study volunteers who were treated with both Juvéderm™ injectable gel and another dermal filler preferred Juvéderm™! In addition, Juvéderm™ injectable gel is the first Health Canada approved hyaluronic acid dermal filler that is proven to be safe and effective for persons of color.
With Juvéderm™ the injection procedure takes about 15 minutes and results are immediate. You will need to come in for a consultation and take pictures of your face before the injection appointment. Additionally, there’s minimal recovery or downtime. So you can step into your doctor’s office for treatment and step right back out into work or normal activities.

How Juvéderm Works
Juvéderm™ injectable gel is a nonsurgical, physician-administered treatment. A doctor or nurse eases Juvéderm™ under the skin using a fine needle to augment, or fill, the soft tissue of the dermis—the dense inner layer of skin beneath the epidermis—to add volume and diminish wrinkles and folds. Juvéderm™ injectable gel is used most effectively for those wrinkles and folds in the lower portion of your face, like your “laugh lines,” “smile lines” or “parentheses” (nasolabial folds), or “marionette lines” (oral commissures).
Juvéderm™ is a “next-generation” filler. It is made from hyaluronic acid—a naturally occurring substance in your skin that helps to hydrate and add volume. Hyaluronic acid may diminish with age, contributing to the formation of wrinkles and folds. Juvéderm™ injectable gel works to correct this by restoring hyaluronic acid in your skin, helping to smooth wrinkles and folds.
Juvéderm™ 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 works to create a smooth consistency gel that flows easily into the skin during the injection process and provides a smooth, natural look and feel—so everyone will notice (but no one will know!) Juvéderm™ injectable gel is the only filler available with this smooth consistency gel—other existing hyaluronic acid dermal fillers are made of granular consistency gels.
