Juvederm is a filler.  So it does not act on muscles.  It fills in an area that needs volume.  These are most commonly the nasiolabial folds or the lines that run from the corners of the nostrils down to the corners of the lips, the lips themselves and the cheeks.  Juvederm works by replacing Hyaluronic acid in the skin.  This acid accounts for skin volume and absorbs water.  The levels of this acid reduce with age creating lines, folds and thinner lips.  So juvederm works by replacing the acid and giving these areas the volume they lost.  Some of you may have heard of Restylane.  This is an earlier generation filler that many doctors still use but Juvederm has a smoother consistency so it is less prone to clumping and it more often then not the better choice.  Juvederm can also be used under the eyes to get rid of lost volume that has created sagging or bags.  Fillers are rarely used in the upper part of the face due to the fine lines that occur there.  So fillers will most commonly be used in the lower and sometimes mid parts of the face. Juvederm lasts for anywhere from 6 months to a year depending on the site of injection.

I hope this has cleared things up for some of you.  If you have any other questions, please feel free to call the office or shoot me an email.
