What it is: A dermal filler (cosmetic injection) FDA approved for the correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds. Juvederm is a hyaluronic acid gel and is available in various formulations, including Juvederm Ultra and Juvederm Ultra Plus.
Juvederm injections are absorbed by the body over time but results may last up to one year. Juvederm products are manufactured by Allergan, the same pharmaceutical company behind Botox Cosmetic.
What it addresses:
- Thin lips
- Hollow cheeks and under-eyes
- Facial wrinkles and folds
- Some nose irregularities
- Acne scars and skin depressions
I had Juvederm injected in my tear trough region because of the slight hollowness I was experiencing. The injection created a ridge and made my eyes look worse. It's been over a year and the swelling (that's what it looks like) still hasn't gone away.
What should I do? I thought Juvederm was supposed to naturally deteriorate over time.
