| Hi everyone! Just wanted to tell you all a little about a popular dermal filler, Juvederm. Juvederm can be used to fill nasolabial folds, augment lips, fill in the undereye area, and more. It offers a natural way to turn back time, and reverses some of the most significant effects of age.The dermal filler is able to accomplish this because it is composed of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the skin that helps to add volume and hydration. Although other fillers also contain hyaluronic acid, Juvederm incorporates a novel cross-linking technology that provides a smooth look and feel.
Cross-linking also helps Juvederm last longer. While hyaluronic acid normally occurs in liquid form, which the body metabolizes and eliminates in less than a day, cross-linked Juvederm is a gel that lasts one year or more. This means that after Juvederm is injected, its wrinkle-reducing effects last 12 months or longer. In June 2007, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) approved changes to the product’s labeling indicating that the effects of Juvederm may last for one year. No other dermal filler is approved to last as long. Juvederm is an FDA-approved hyaluronic acid dermal filler that is proven to be safe and effective for persons with darker skin tones as well.
