"Juvederm" is a monophasic implant, therefore it is able to evenly distribute under the skin, which is why multiple corrections are not needed.
The agent is injected under the skin and into the intradermal layers with a thin needle. The procedure lasts 15-30 minutes. The effect of lip augmentation "Juvederm" will be noticeable immediately. But the injected gel is only partially hydrated; after injection, it actively absorbs water and therefore expands. Therefore, the final effect is noticeable only after a day.
