Hyaluronic acid is a fascinating substance. It is bio-identical across mammalian lines so, for all intents and purposes, purified hyaluronic acid from my pet schnauzer could be safely used in my face. Hyaluronic acid causes no significant allergies (because we are all composed of this stuff!) and in the correct hands, it is a very moldable substance that yields lovely results.

Juvederm is very safe, so you can be very confident fixing those lines that bother you. Juvederm is made from Hyaluronic Acid, an important building block of your skin. When you receive Juvederm injectons, you are simply adding this hyaluronic acid gel into areas where you have lost collagen. You could inject collagen instead, but the Hyaluronic Acid products (Juvederm, Restylane, Perlane) all last longer than collagen does. I have been injecting Juvederm since it hit the aesthetic market and have never seen an allergic reactions or safety issues arise.
