Manufactured by the same company that makes BOTOX Cosmetic�, JUV�DERM XC dermal filler is a smooth gel filler used by Dr. Tuma, at Plastic Surgery Associates of New Jersey, to treat moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds.
JUV�DERM XC replaces hyaluronic acid your skin has lost. As hyaluronic acid levels diminish with age, skin becomes less hydrated and loses volume. The result can be nasolabial folds (the �parentheses,� or smile lines, along the side of the nose and mouth), marionette lines (vertical wrinkles and folds that form below the corners of the mouth) and/or vertical lip lines (wrinkles above and around the lips).
Injected directly into wrinkles and folds, JUV�DERM XC temporarily fills and smoothes out the treated area providing immediate, natural-looking results that can last up to a year. JUV�DERM XC is formulated with the local anesthetic lidocaine, providing enhanced patient comfort during treatment.
