What is Juvederm?

Over recent years, hyaluronic acid has emerged as the miracle compound for filling in wrinkles. Hyaluronic acid is a physiological constituent of dermal tissue which maintains local moisture content and is gradually reabsorbed with time. JUVÉDERM is a hyaluronic acid in the form of visco-elastic gel, which is transparent and homogeneous and which has four major benefits :

  • It is obtained by biosynthesis and is of non-animal origin

  • It does not require any prior test

  • The molecule is highly biocompatible.

  • Juvederm is obtained by bacterial fermentation and is part of the new generation of implants, while at the same time enjoying the experience of the Corneal group, in the synthesis of cross-linked hyaluronic acid.

The smooth consistency of JUVÉDERM dermal filler also may help to minimize the discomfort that can sometimes occur during the injection procedure.
