Juvederm is the world’s top-selling family of dermal fillers that can smooth moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds such as vertical lip lines, corner lines and marionette lines that appear around your nose and mouth.
YOUR SKIN CHANGES OVER TIME
There are several different types of facial lines that form around your nose and mouth. These include the parentheses lines, vertical lip lines, corner lines, and marionette lines. As you age, these lines may become more noticeable.
As you age, your skin loses elasticity and moisture. This normal aging process, plus environmental factors like sun exposure, cause different facial lines to form, including moderate to severe wrinkles and folds.
Your doctor can choose the Juverderm formulations that can meet your needs to fill in moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds or for volumizing and correcting deeper facial wrinkles and folds.
