Juvederm is a dermal filler that is composed of hyaluronic acid of non-animal origin, which is naturally found in the human body. This eliminates the risk of allergic reactions or other complications. It has a soft, jelly-like consistency and is available in several products, each with different binding and concentrations of hyaluronic acid. These products are designed to address facial signs of aging when injected into different areas and depths.
Before undergoing a Juvederm treatment, it is important to discuss your goals and aesthetic expectations with a medical professional. Serious side effects are usually associated with unprofessional handling, such as inadvertent injection of Juvederm into a blood vessel.
