But what is Juvederm?
It is the buzz word among women-in-the-know for some time now but what is it exactly this Juvederm? Juvederm is a brand name for a group of products known as facial filler or derma fillers. It is an injectable gel made of hyaluronic acid which is a substance that naturally occurs in a human’s body.
It is injected in specific areas in the face to mainly reduce wrinkles, folds and augment lips. It adds volume to the specific area which results in less noticeable lines. The over-all result is a younger fresher-looking face.
The areas that it targets are the smile lines (the lines between the nose and the corner of the mouth), the lines between the eybrows, the lines in the corner of the eyes. It also augments the size of the lips making it look fuller. When injected to the target area, Juvederm lasts for up to one year which means that the added volume will hold for that period of time.
Juvederm is approved by US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and is considered to be a less risky solution to wrinkles than facelift. It is beginning to be the first brand of choice by women who want to achieve a younger looking appearance without the risks and high cost of a facelift.
