Juvederm

What is Juvederm XC?
JUVÉDERM^® XC is the smooth gel filler that your doctor uses to instantly smooth away wrinkles around your mouth, nose and other areas with volume loss. With just one treatment, you’ll get smooth and natural-looking results that last up to a year.

JUVÉDERM^® XC is manufactured using HYLACROSS™ technology, creating a smooth-consistency gel. It is infused with lidocaine to improve comfort during treatment. With JUVÉDERM^® XC you get the smooth results you expect, with the improved comfort you want.

Everyone will notice, but no one will know.

Where Does It Work?
Everyone’s skin ages differently and JUVÉDERM^® XC may be used to rejuvenate multiple problem areas.* From smile lines, to vertical lip lines, you can smooth away unwanted wrinkles and restore natural contours.

Young, healthy-looking skin contains an abundance of a naturally hydrating substance called hyaluronic acid (HA). But as you age, sunlight and other factors can reduce the amount of HA in your skin. The lack of HA causes your skin to lose structure and volume, creating unwanted facial wrinkles and folds - like those parentheses lines around your nose and mouth.

Using a dermal filler like JUVÉDERM^® XC is a safe and effective way to replace the HA your skin has lost, bringing back its volume and smoothing away facial wrinkles and folds.

Read on for more details about how JUVÉDERM^® XC makes those parentheses disappear:

1 Understanding Where Wrinkles Form
Your skin consists of two layers known as the epidermis and the dermis. The epidermis, or outer layer of the skin, acts as the skin’s primary defense against the environment. The dermis, or innermost layer of the skin, is composed primarily of connective tissue and provides the skin with a support network. Most facial wrinkles and deeper nasolabial folds occur within the dermal layer of the skin.

2 Our Skin’s Natural Moisturizer
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring molecule. Much like a sponge, its primary function is to bind and absorb water, which creates volume in the face. In this way, Hyaluronic acid can be thought of as the body’s internal moisturizer. But, as we age, HA diminishes, which contributes to the presence of lines and folds. JUVÉDERM^® XC injectable gel works to correct this by restoring hyaluronic acid in your skin, helping to diminish wrinkles and nasolabial folds.

3 Experiencing Rejuvenation
JUVÉDERM^® XC dermal filler is a nonsurgical, physician-administered treatment for nasolabial folds and other facial wrinkles. Using a fine needle, your Dr. Smith eases JUVÉDERM^® XC under the skin to fill the soft tissue of the dermis. This adds volume and diminishes the appearance of wrinkles and nasolabial folds instantly.
While there are a variety of hyaluronic acid fillers, JUVÉDERM^® XC is uniquely formulated. A next generation HA filler, JUVÉDERM^® XC uses a manufacturing process called HYLACROSS™ technology. HYLACROSS™ gives JUVÉDERM^® XC its special smooth-gel structure that holds up over time. That’s why JUVÉDERM^® XC is the first smooth-consistency HA gel and the only HA filler that’s FDA approved* to last up to one year with only one treatment.

Why Juvederm XC?
We’re glad you asked! Four easy answers.

1. It’s long-lasting.
JUVÉDERM^® XC is the ONLY hyaluronic acid (HA) filler FDA approved* to last up to one year with one treatment (did we just say a year?). That’s right, up to a year.

2. It’s smooth and more comfortable.
Not all HA dermal fillers are created equal. Only JUVÉDERM^® is so smooth. Other hyaluronic acid fillers currently on the market are made of granular consistency gels, but our unique manufacturing process (HYLACROSS™) creates a smooth-consistency gel that flows easily into the skin and provides a smooth, natural look and feel—so everyone will notice (but no one will know)!

3. It’s safe and effective for different skin types.
JUVÉDERM^® injectable gel is the first FDA-approved hyaluronic acid dermal filler that has proven its safety and effectiveness in persons of color. Studies with JUVÉDERM^® showed no increased risk of hyperpigmentation or hypertrophic scarring in patients of color.

4. It’s personalized.
One size doesn’t fit all when it comes to wrinkle treatment. A customized treatment plan is important for achieving the best results. That’s why JUVÉDERM^® XC is available in two formulations—JUVÉDERM^® Ultra XC for versatility in contouring and volumizing facial wrinkles and folds, and JUVÉDERM^® Ultra Plus XC, a more robust formulation for volumizing and correcting deeper folds and facial wrinkles. This allows Dr. Smith to tailor treatment to meet your unique needs.

There are plenty of dermal wrinkle fillers on the market today, but we think you’ll agree JUVÉDERM^® XC is special. (After all, there’s a reason JUVÉDERM^® is the #1 selling dermal filler in the U.S.).

For a smooth, comfortable experience combined with long-lasting results, don’t wait!

The Evolution of Injectable Fillers

We live in exciting times when it comes to the science of beauty. Injectable fillers can replace the lost collagen and volume, giving us the full cheeks and firm skin of youth. That's something all those expensive creams, lotions, and serums just can't deliver.

Facial fillers have come a long way from the days when collagen was the only injectable, and was typically only an option for aging celebrities and socialites. Women today have a variety of good options for injectable fillers, but when it comes to your face, good just isn't good enough. RADIESSE^® wrinkle filler does more than just "fill-in" lines and facial wrinkles – it replenishes volume and stimulates the production of your own natural collagen with results that last up to a year or more.

Out with the Old, In with the New You

With all of the dermal filler options out there, it can be hard to determine what actually is a "breakthrough" and what is just the same old product with a different name. Be sure that you're in the know when it comes to choosing the most advanced filler to replenish what time has taken away.

Out:	In:
Injectable fillers that are short term and just fill in lines	RADIESSE® wrinkle filler, proven to stimulate the growth of your own natural collagen
Time consuming and costly touch up treatments every 3 to 6 month	Instant results that last a year or more in many patients with a single RADIESSE® wrinkle filler treatment
Animal-derived fillers that may be rejected by the body	Biocompatible RADIESSE® wrinkle filler, which works with your body to restore facial volume

If you want more than just instant wrinkle correction, choose the only filler that stimulates collagen production and brings back your natural, youthful appearance with long-lasting results. To learn more about RADIESSE wrinkle filler for restoring lost volume

RADIESSE^® Wrinkle Filler - How It Works

Healthy young skin contains collagen that gives it volume, flexibility and strength. As part of the aging process, your own natural collagen breaks down, diminishing facial volume. This loss of elasticity and volume results in the wrinkles, facial lines and skin laxity that rob your skin of its youthful appearance.

Welcome Back Your Own Natural Collagen

The ideal way to achieve wrinkle reduction is by replenishing lost volume. With RADIESSE^® wrinkle filler, you welcome back your own natural collagen to smooth out the signs of aging. That's because RADIESSE^® wrinkle filler's unique formulation stimulates collagenesis – the production of new collagen – which results in increased volume for natural looking wrinkle correction that may last a year or more in many patients. It's also why more and more cosmetic surgeons, estheticians, and other medical professionals are choosing RADIESSE^® wrinkle filler for long-lasting facial rejuvenation.

The RADIESSE^® wrinkle filler difference:

· Stimulates the body's own natural collagen production
· Instantly corrects wrinkles
· Results that may last a year or more in many patients
· Now FDA approved to enhance patient comfort1 with lidocaine mixing

In just one syringe, many patients can achieve long-lasting youthful results. And now you can ask Dr. Smtih about the RADIESSE^® treatment option that significantly improves comfort. Because treatment with RADIESSE^® wrinkle filler is simple, quick, comfortable and convenient, with immediately visible results that last, more and more people are discovering that it is the natural choice for maintaining a more youthful appearance.
