Luckily, now there's Juvederm™, a soft replenishing injectable gel. Made from hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring sugar found in your body, it adds volume to minimize the appearance of wrinkles, thinning skin and lips. Hyaluronic acid injections have also been shown to stimulate collagen production. Best of all, the results are instant and natural-looking, there’s no downtime and it has been demonstrated to be safe for all skin tones. This versatile product is an effective choice for filling in small, vertical lines around the lips, as well as deeper nasolabial folds. It can also be used for enhancing facial features, such as sculpting cheeks and chin, and adding volume to lips.
What is Juvederm® - It is an injectable filler that utilizes a colourless hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid (HA), also known as hyaluronan, exists in connective tissue, serving to cushion and lubricate, and is popularly believed to be one of the keys to maintaining youthfulness. It is a naturally occurring substance in the human body. Because of this reason, a prior skin test is not required for treatment with any Juvederm® injectable filler product.
How it works-The hyaluronic acid used in Juvederm® is in the form of a transparent gel known as NASHA™. Needles used to inject Juvederm® are pre-filled, eliminating the possibility of contamination immediately before injection. The actual substance injected is of the smoothest consistency available on the market today, designed to produce the desirable results that last as long as possible.
How it is applied-Local anesthesia or topical creams are used to numb the treatment area. Very thin needles are used to gently inject the filler beneath the surface of your skin. Results are typically seen immediately, and you can return to your regular activities the next day. Risks from injections are very minimal. The most common side effects are bruising at the injection site or swelling of the treatment area. These reactions diminish quickly and can be treated with ice packs or over the counter pain medication.
What are the possible side effects of JUVÉDERM® injectable gel?
Most side effects are mild or moderate in nature, and their duration is short lasting (7 days or less). The most common side effects include, but are not limited to, temporary injections site reactions such as redness, pain/tenderness, firmness, swelling, lumps/bumps, bruising, itching, and discoloration. As with all skin injection procedures there is a risk of infection.
Can people with different skin tones/colors be treated with JUVÉDERM®?
Yes. In fact, Juvéderm® injectable gel is the first FDA-approved hyaluronic acid dermal filler that has proven its safety and effectiveness in persons of color. Studies with Juvéderm® showed no increased risk of hyperpigmentation or hypertrophic scarring in patients of color.
