04How To Use
Your doctor or nurse will give you this medicine. Kindly do not self administer.
05How It Works
As we age, the fat, muscles, bone, and skin on our face begin to thin. This leads to volume loss on the face and causes a sunken or sagging appearance, fine lines, wrinkles, folds, and thinning of lips. Juvederm Volite 12.5mg/3mg Injection contains hyaluronic acid and lidocaine. Hyaluronic acid is a type of temporary dermal filler. It attracts water and, in turn, hydrates the skin. It reduces the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and facial folds and provides structure, framework, and volume to the face and lips. Lidocaine reduces pain and discomfort during and after an injection is given.
