Is Safe to Buy Juvederm from Online Website?

Hello, I just came up with this website to buy juvederm online (Filler contain hyaluronic acid). I just want to know is the website is safe and sell authentic product. Thank You!

A: Juvéderm®, other fillers, and BTX-A should not be purchased over the net

Juvéderm®, other fillers, and BTX-A [BOTOX®, Dysport® or XEOMIN®] should not be purchased over the net!

You will have NO way of knowing if your are getting "the real thing" or a counterfeit product.

You will also have NO way of knowing whether or not the product was stored within the necessary temperature and humidity parameters to prevent accelerated aging or decomposition.

Your physician purchases these products through the government regulated and inspected supply chain, providing you with a very high degree of confidence that you will get "the real thing" and that it will be in excellent condition when you are treated with it.

Any Sulfites in Juverne

Hello, Could somebody tell me if there is any "sulfites" as preservatives or for other reason in the Juverne composition?

A: There are no sulfites in Juvéderm®

The Juvéderm® family is made from highly purified, naturally produced hyaluronic acid, crosslinked using a simple, safe crosslinking agent, with a bit of lidocaine added to minimize patient discomfort during the treatment.

There are no sulfites or other additives.

Is Juvederm Voluma an Alternative to Radiesse?

How does Juvederm Voluma stack up against Radiesse for larger-area volumizing, such as cheek hollows? Or is it so new that not many physicians have tried it yet?

A: Juvéderm Voluma® is an excellent alternative to Radiesse®, and can be reversed.

Juvéderm Voluma® is an excellent alternative to Radiesse®, and [unlike Radiesse®] can be easily reversed by injection of hyaluronidase in the rare event of a problem.

Another advantage of Juvéderm Voluma® is that [at least in Canada] it comes with lidocaine anesthetic in it, improving patient comfort. Radiesse®, by contrast, hurts a lot unless the doctor adds lidocaine, and the process of mixing in lidocaine in the office carries the risks of contamination and/or error.

Finally, patients treated with Juvéderm Voluma® often look good compared with their baseline photos 12-18 months after treatment -- about the same duration of cosmetic benefit as Radiesse®.
