Juvederm
Juvederm is a injectable dermal filler based on naturally occurring hyaluronic acid. Juvederm injection is used to fill fine lines and wrinkles. Juvederm relies on this substance as it is responsible for hydrating and smoothing skin. As the body ages it loses the ability to produce hyaluronic acid and as a result skin will wrinkle and lose its fullness. Juvederm replenishes these diminished substances and returns the skin and facial areas to a more youthful appearance.
Juvederm's blend of hyaluronic acid is non-animal in its origin. This is a key factor as many choose to avoid animal products due to both allergic and ethical reasons. Juvederm's natural formula does not require mandatory allergy testing that some dermal fillers require.
Juvederm injections are tailored to your individual needs.
There are several types of Juvederm injections based on an individual's treatment needs. This sets a Juvederm injection apart from its dermal filler competition in that it avoids the once size fits all approach. Juvederm is produced in three specialized formulas that are highly refined and smooth in their composition. Other dermal fillers can exhibit a granular appearance, Juvederm is clear.
