Hyaluronic Acid Facial Injection is a non-surgical treatment that uses hyaluronic acid – a substance naturally found in the body – to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. By injecting it directly into areas of concern like the cheeks, chin, lips, or under the eyes, it lifts and hydrates the skin from within, resulting in a more youthful, refreshed appearance. Each Juvederm product is tailored for specific concerns, offering natural-looking, immediate results with minimal downtime.

Hyaluronic Acid Facial Injection using the Allergan Juvederm Series (Volite, Voluma, Volift, and Volux) are performed by injecting a soft, gel-like substance – hyaluronic acid – directly into targeted areas of the face. Using a fine needle or cannula, the doctor of our affiliated clinic carefully injects the appropriate Juvederm product based on the treatment area. With little to no downtime, the hyaluronic acid instantly fills and lifts the skin from within. Local anesthesia may be used to minimize the discomfort during the procedure.

1. Consultation and assessment will be conducted.
2. The treatment area will be thoroughly cleaned.
3. Local anesthesia may be applied to minimize discomfort.
4. Hyaluronic acid products will be precisely injected into the targeted areas.
