Juvederm XC is an injectable filler that is commonly used to add fullness to the lips and to fill in the facial folds that appear from the corner of your nose to the corner of the mouth - the parentheses.
Young, healthy-looking skin contains an abundance of a naturally hydrating substance called hyaluronic acid (HA). As you age, time, sunlight and other factors deplete the amount of HA in your skin, allowing skin to lose structure and volume - creating unwanted facial folds and wrinkles, like those parentheses around your nose and mouth.
Juvederm XC helps replace the HA your skin has lost, adding volume in the depth of the folds and wrinkles to smooth their appearance. Juvederm XC is the only filler that has been FDA approved to last up to 1 year.
