Juvéderm^®

You can add volume to facial features such as the lips and cheeks, and fill in lines, wrinkles, and creases with Juvéderm^®. This popular injectable treatment has proven to be highly-effective with long-lasting results. Juvéderm^® is a smooth gel dermal filler offering a natural look and feel with results lasting for up to six to twelve months. Juvéderm^® is administered by our board-certified dermatologist, Deborah H. Atkin, M.D. This dermal filler flows easily into the skin, creating a smooth, natural look.

Juvéderm^® is composed of hyaluronic acid, a substance that occurs naturally in the human body, and therefore does not require allergy testing. This means there should not be a waiting period before treatment. The smooth consistency of Juvéderm^® dermal filler also may help to minimize the discomfort that can sometimes occur during the injection procedure.

JUVÉDERM VOLUMA^® XC

The new “true” liquid lift is here…

JUVÉDERM VOLUMA^™ XC is the first and only hyaluronic gel filler approved by the Food and Drug Administration to treat facial aging in the mid face. The fact that it works instantly to replenish volume, lift the cheek area and lasts up to 2 years, puts Voluma in a class of its own. Treatments are designed to smooth moderate to severe wrinkles and folds and enhance volume lost over time due to aging and sun exposure. Treatment with Voluma is a wonderful way to enhance the overall natural shape of your face, giving your face a softer and more youthful look.
