Juvéderm® is a nonsurgical, physician-administered treatment for nasolabial folds (also known as smile lines) and other facial wrinkles. This treatment is available for patients in Waterloo, Cedar Falls, Waverly, Independence, Grundy Center and the surrounding communities at Cedar Valley ASCENT from facial plastic surgical specialist Dr. Kenny Rodriguez. Typically injected into the cheek, facial tissue, lip or perioral (the lower third of face) areas, Juvéderm® uses hyaluronic acid to add volume to the skin (as opposed to more traditional collagen-based injections). Hyaluronic acid naturally occurs in the human body and is modified for use in Juvéderm®, allowing the treatments to augment lips, eliminate wrinkles and smooth out facial folds to provide a greater facial volume and fullness.
