What Is Hyaluronic Acid?

Juvéderm XC is made with a modified form of something known as hyaluronic acid (also known as “HA” for short), manufactured using proprietary Hylacross™ technology. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance found in your skin, and it helps your skin retain moisture so it can look healthy and youthful for as long as possible. As you age, your body starts to produce less and less HA, eventually causing your skin to lose its sense of structure and volume, contributing to the formation of wrinkles and folds.

How long does the treatment usually take?

The injection process can be performed during a brief office visit, which will be complete in less than a full hour. Touch-up injections and repeat injections are usually needed to maintain your optimal results, and we’ll work with you to set up a schedule that works for you.
