Q: What is Juvederm? asked by Anonymous
A:
Juvederm is a type of filler called a hyaluronic acid filler. Restylane and Perlane are two other hyaluronic acid fillers. Hyaluronic acid is naturally occurring and is found in all living things. When injected into the skin it holds onto water and plumps up the skin. It is FDA approved for use in the US around the nose and mouth. It is often used "off-label" and injected into other sites such as the lips, cheeks, and under eyes. Juvederm fills lines and wrinkles and restores volume to the face that is lost in the aging process.
The results are immediate. There may be some swelling and bruising that may last one week, but most people are able to immediately resume normal activities.
