Does Juvederm Contain Preservatives?

Question

Does Juvederm have any preservatives in it. Thank you.

Sam Naficy, MD, FACS · Answer

There are no preservatives listed on the Juvederm package insert, but the best advice is to call Allergan and ask Medical affairs directly at 1-877-345-5372

Thank you for your question. Juvederm is an injectable gel made out of hyaluronic acid with 0.3% lidocaine.  Juvederm should be used cautiously with patients on immunosuppressive therapy to reduce risk of infection.  I would recommend getting a medical clearance from your oncologist and/or primary MD and consulting a Board Certified Dermatologist or Plastic Surgeon for safest treatment option. I hope this helps.

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

Neither Juvederm nor any of its contents have been linked to cancer, and this should not pose any risk.

Benjamin Barankin, MD, FRCPC · Answer

Juvederm is a hyaluronic acid filler (biocompatible) which simply replaces the hyaluronic acid we all lose as we get older. It is incredibly safe and widely used, and does not contain any preservatives nor have any of the fillers ever been associated with cancer.

Steven Swengel, MD · Answer

It appears all the hyaluronics only contain product, water, phosphates to adjust pH and can come either with or without lidocaine.
