Botox & Fillers in Downey, California

Juvederm is a Hyaluronic Acid that is injected into static wrinkles, deep folds, and lips in order to reduce wrinkles, soften folds, and give the lips a more plump appearance. Often times, Juvederm is injected into the smile lines (nasolabial folds), marionette lines (angles of the mouth), lips, vermillion border of the lips, and philtrum lines to increase volume in these areas.

Hyaluronic Acid is a naturally-occurring sugar in the body that holds water at the injection site, acting as a cushion. When we age, our skin loses elasticity like a balloon loses air. Dermal fillers essentially pump your skin back up the way air pumps up a deflated balloon. In this way, dermal fillers like Juvederm can instantly remove years off the face.
