How Does Juvederm Work

Young, healthy skin has plenty of hyaluronic acids. The hyaluronic acid in Juvederm is cross-linked. It replenishes the supply of hyaluronic acid in the areas where it is injected. The dermatologist injects Juvederm into the skin with a precise needle. It is a smooth gel. It is made through biosynthesis and patients do not need to pass an allergy test before using it. The doctor will apply a topical anesthetic cream to reduce the pain of the injection. It comes in a variety of formulas with different strengths depending on the patient's needs and where the filler is injected. There is no downtime associated with the use of Juvederm.
