Juvederm is one of the most well-known and popular products for contour plasty. Like most fillers, it contains a synthetic analogue of natural hyaluronic acid obtained by bacterial synthesis in a sterile laboratory environment. The manufacturer is the largest US company Allergan whose products have proved well in practice.
Juvederm (you can find Juvederm online here) is highly appreciated not only by patients, but also by cosmetologists. And there are objective reasons for that – the dermal filler is distributed under the skin as evenly as possible and is distinguished by its long-lasting effect.
Distinctive characteristics of Juvederm fillers
The Juvederm fillers contain hyaluronic acid in record high concentrations. For this reason, experts use them in cases when it is necessary to achieve a pronounced effect.
The products are transparent, viscous gels of different density. Such a rich selection of products enables cosmetologists to choose the most suitable product in each individual case.
The gel inside the syringe is hydrated (saturated with moisture), so it is better assimilated and absorbed by organic tissues. In addition, the gel has a cumulative effect – the ultimate result of the procedure is visible only a day later, and it is almost always a pleasant surprise to patients.
Juvederm can be combined with other preparations, which is also a significant advantage. You do not have to wait for the filler you have previously been given to be absorbed in order to have a new intradermal filler injected. Two or more products from the line are usually used to correct several facial areas.
Juvederm is used not only for light contour plasty, but also for volumetric face modelling. Thus, it can be used for non-surgical rhinoplasty, to make cheekbones or cheeks bigger, to correct the shape of the chin. This is especially important for those who want to ‘try on’ a new image in advance before a proper surgical intervention.
