• Lines on the upper lip or the corners of the mouth
• Nasolabial folds from the nose to the mouth
• Lines and sunken areas around the eyes
• Poorly defined or thin lips

At Cosmetic Laser Centers℠ we care about your safety and comfort. As with any medical procedure there are potential side effects. These include bleeding, redness, inflammation, and bruising.  Other potential side effects include:

  • Hardening of tissue at injection site
  • Soreness and swelling

Juvederm® is a filler gel made from hyaluronic acid.  It is similar to Restylane® but manufactured by a different company. Juvederm® products smoothe folds and wrinkles, increases volume in the midface and soften fine lines. Juvederm® has patented Hylacross™ technology which spreads smoothly and creates the desired effect. These treatments can last for up to 6 months to 2 years, depending on the product! The Hylacross™ technology provides excellent durability and can result in less treatments over time! This is what makes Juvederm® so popular.
