Juvéderm is a smooth replenishing injectable gel made of hyaluronic acid - a naturally occurring substance in your skin that hydrates the skin and adds volume and contouring. At Britannia Dermedics, your Calgary healthcare professional uses Juvéderm to replace the HA and natural volume that is lost with aging, while plumping out thin areas and softening fines lines to give a long-lasting, natural and refreshed look. With the addition of lidocaine, the new formulation of Juvéderm allows for a more comfortable treatment. The results are instant and natural looking with no downtime.

Restore, Rejuvenate and Renew What Nature Gave You

At Britannia Dermedics we can effectively use Juvéderm to soften facial wrinkles and folds (such as smile lines and marionette lines), and enhance thinning lips. Juvéderm can also be used for volumizing and contouring of the cheek and jaw lines, and to restore lost overall fullness due to aging.

Frequently Asked Questions About Juvéderm

What areas can I treat with Juvéderm?
Our highly experienced injectors at Britannia Dermedics use Juvéderm to:

  • smooth the lines around your mouth and nose
  • enhance the size and shape of your lips
  • fill fine lines above the upper lip
  • reduce crow's feet
  • reduce laugh lines
  • volumize your cheeks
  • smooth and contour your jaw line
  • restore tear troughs - adding volume under the eye

How long does Juvéderm last?
The unique formulation of Juvéderm provides results that last up to 1 year - longer than other HA dermal fillers.

What makes Juvéderm different from other dermal fillers?
Juvéderm soft replenishing gel filler employs its patented HYLACROSS technology to provide one of the highest concentrations of cross-linked hyaluronic acid of any currently available hyaluronic acid dermal filler for long-lasting results. This advanced manufacturing process works to create a smooth consistency gel that gives you a smooth, natural look and feel. Other currently approved hyaluronic acid dermal fillers have a granular consistency. At Britannia Dermedics we use Juvéderm for soft, subtle results that leave you looking your best!

How long before I see results?
Results are instant. You will see an immediate improvement in the treatment area. Most people need one treatment to achieve an optimal outcome. Supplemental "touch-up" treatments may be required to achieve and maintain the desired look.

How long does treatment usually take?
The injection process at Britannia Dermedics is quick and easy and takes only about 15-30 minutes. You'll also need to allow time to consult with your medical professional prior to treatment.

What is hyaluronic acid?
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a complex sugar naturally found in many tissues of the body such as skin and cartilage. It binds to water to create more volume and elasticity in the skin to correct the appearance of wrinkles and facial folds.

Is treatment with Juvéderm painful?
New Juvéderm with lidocaine lets you feel good before, during and after your Juvéderm treatment. The addition of lidocaine, an effective localized pain reliever, to the Juvéderm formula makes the whole injection process at Britannia Dermedics a more comfortable experience.

What is the recovery time following a treatment?
Treatment requires minimal downtime and most people return to their normal routine right away.
