Juvéderm

JUVÉDERM is the only hyaluronic acid dermal filler developed using a proprietary, technologically advanced manufacturing process that results in a malleable smooth gel that flows easily into the skin, creating a smooth, natural look and feel. All other currently approved hyaluronic acid dermal fillers utilize a gel particle suspension formulation. These gel particles can be visibly seen as opposed to the smoother formulation used in JUVÉDERM dermal filler.

In addition, JUVÉDERM contains the highest concentration of non-animal, cross-linked hyaluronic acid of any dermal filler currently available. These unique attributes provide optimal results with a single treatment in the majority of patients and deliver sustained results for up to six months or longer.

JUVÉDERM dermal filler is natural, biodegradable and currently the only hyaluronic acid dermal filler that has demonstrated its safety and effectiveness in patients of all skin types and colors.

It demonstrated no increased risk of hyperpigmentation or hypertrophic scarring in patients of color.

This dermal filler can be administered in a smooth-flowing injection, providing physicians with a high level of control for individualized, tailored facial contouring and for achieving a smooth and natural look.

How JUVÉDERM^™ Works

The active ingredient in JUVÉDERM™ dermal filler, hyaluronic acid, is a naturally occurring, biodegradable complex sugar found in the human body and in all living organisms. Among other things, hyaluronic acid hydrates the skin and adds volume, contributing to the overall appearance of the skin.

Like BOTOX® (Botulinum Toxin Type A), which has been available for more than 16 years and is approved to treat 20 conditions in more than 75 countries around the world, hyaluronic acid has been used for more than 20 years to treat multiple medical conditions, including those associated with the eye and the knee.

The ability of cells to produce hyaluronic acid diminishes with age, often resulting in the formation of facial wrinkles and folds as the skin loses volume. JUVÉDERM™ is administered in small doses by intradermal injection directly into facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds (the folds running from the sides of the bottom of the nose to the outer corners of the mouth), temporarily filling and augmenting the treated area.

BOTOX® Cosmetic works differently -- by relaxing the dominant frown muscles between the eyebrows (the glabellar area). This allows the two vertical lines between the brows, often referred to as the “11,” to temporarily diminish in appearance. BOTOX® Cosmetic was approved by the FDA in 2002 for the temporary improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines between the brows in people 18 to 65 years of age.
