ABOUT LOS ANGELES JUVEDERM
top of page
Juvederm is a facial filler made from hyaluronic acid (HA). Hyaluronic acid is a substance that already exists in the human body, and helps to hydrate and add volume to the skin. HA has been used for more than 20 years for injection into arthritic joints to aid movement as well as for eye surgeries and wound repair. Juvederm is the first hyaluronic acid dermal filler that has demonstrated its safety and effectiveness in persons of color. Studies with JUVÉDERM® showed no increased risk of hyperpigmentation or hypertrophic scarring in patients of color.
The injection process takes only about 15 minutes. You'll also need to allow time to consult with the doctor prior to treatment, but from beginning to end, may patients are able to work it in on their lunch break or on their way to/from work.

Most side effects are mild or moderate in nature, and their duration is short lasting (one week or less). The most common side effects include, but are not limited to, temporary injections site reactions such as redness, pain/tenderness, firmness, swelling, lumps/bumps, bruising, itching, and discoloration. As with all skin injection procedures, there is a risk of infection.
*Juvéderm™ is indicated for injection into the mid to deep dermis for correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds (such as nasolabial folds).
