What is JUVÉDERM® XC?

Aging, and other universal elements, cause our skin components to break down and lose natural volume and structure. As this occurs, lines, facial folds and wrinkles become visible. Dr.Rudderman recommends JUVÉDERM® XC to patients who are concerned with lines and wrinkles around the mouth (parentheses), vertical lip lines, corner lines, and those who would like to enhance their lips, naturally.

JUVÉDERM® is made from a substance that occurs naturally in all human bodies – hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is highly attracted to water and has the ability to bind to it. As we age, hyaluronic acid is depleted, the skin loses volume and lines, wrinkles and folds are formed. JUVÉDERM® is one of today’s most popular in-office, “lunch-hour” treatments.
