JUVÉDERM® Treatment
Placement for JUVÉDERM® is determined after carefully evaluating the wrinkles present on your face. If necessary, areas to be treated may be numbed with a topical anesthetic to make the procedure comfortable. Using a fine needle and special technique, your plastic surgeon injects JUVÉDERM® to correct the contour irregularities present on your skin.
For most patients, the results of JUVÉDERM® last 9-12 months. You will need touch-ups and repeat treatments to maintain skin volume and wrinkle correction over the years.
