How Does JUVÉDERM® XC Injectable Gel Work?

Our skin loses its elasticity with age, resulting in wrinkles and fine lines. This can lead to a tired and aged appearance that many people find unappealing. Cosmetic advances have made it possible to reverse these signs of aging and restore a youthful appearance. One such treatment is JUVÉDERM® XC Injectable Gel.

The JUVÉDERM® XC Injectable Gel contains hyaluronic acid, which helps hydrate and plump the skin. The gel helps add volume to the skin, which can help smooth out wrinkles and folds. In this blog, we’ll explore how JUVÉDERM® XC Injectable Gel works to give you a better understanding of this popular cosmetic treatment.

What is JUVÉDERM® XC Injectable Gel?

JUVÉDERM® XC Injectable Gel is an FDA-approved dermal filler that helps to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, folds, and volume loss due to aging. The gel, which consists of hyaluronic acid, works by replenishing what our bodies naturally produce less of as we age. A fine needle injects the gel directly into the target area for immediate results. Hydrating and plumping the skin with hyaluronic acid helps to maintain a youthful appearance.

Results typically last up to one year, making it an ideal solution for those seeking a non-surgical option to alleviate signs of aging.
