1 Understanding Where Wrinkles Form

Your skin consists of two layers known as the epidermis and the dermis. The epidermis, or outer layer of the skin, acts as the skin’s primary defense against the environment. The dermis, or innermost layer of the skin, is composed primarily of connective tissue and provides the skin with a support network. Most facial wrinkles and deeper nasolabial folds occur within the dermal layer of the skin.

2 Our Skin’s Natural Moisturizer

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring molecule. Much like a sponge, its primary function is to bind and absorb water, which creates volume in the face. In this way, Hyaluronic acid can be thought of as the body’s internal moisturizer. But, as we age, HA diminishes, which contributes to the presence of lines and folds. JUVÉDERM^® XC injectable gel works to correct this by restoring hyaluronic acid in your skin, helping to diminish wrinkles and nasolabial folds.

3 Experiencing Rejuvenation

JUVÉDERM^® XC dermal filler is a nonsurgical, physician-administered treatment for nasolabial folds and other facial wrinkles. Using a fine needle, your healthcare professional eases JUVÉDERM^® XC under the skin to fill the soft tissue of the dermis. This adds volume and diminishes the appearance of wrinkles and nasolabial folds instantly.

While there are a variety of hyaluronic acid fillers, JUVÉDERM^® XC is uniquely formulated. A next generation HA filler, JUVÉDERM^® XC uses a manufacturing process called HYLACROSS^™ technology. HYLACROSS^™ gives JUVÉDERM^® XC its special smooth-gel structure that holds up over time. That’s why JUVÉDERM^® XC is the first smooth-consistency HA gel and the only HA filler that’s FDA approved^* to last up to one year with only one treatment.^†
