What is Juvéderm®?
Over recent years, hyaluronic acid (HA) has emerged as the miracle compound for filling in wrinkles.
HA is a natural substance that is found throughout your body. It gives volume to the skin, lubricates
the joints and gives the eyes their shape. HA is a naturally occurring substance (complex sugar) found throughout the body in all
living organisms. In the skin, HA fills the space between collagen and elastin fibers -- replenishing the natural support layers lost
with aging -- while delivering essential nutrients and hydration Over time, HA is gradually reabsorbed in the body.The active
ingredient in JUVÉDERM® dermal filler, hyaluronic acid, is a naturally occurring,biodegradable complex sugar found in the human
body and in all living organisms. Among other things, hyaluronic acid hydrates the skin and adds volume,contributing to the overall
appearance of the skin.
Like BOTOX®, which has been available for more than 16 years and is approved to treat 20 conditions in more than 75 countries around the world, hyaluronic acid has been used for more than 20 years to treat multiple medical conditions, including those associated with the eye and the knee.
