WHAT IS JUVEDERM?

Juvederm is an injectable facial filler that is used by certified professionals to soften deep folds and reduce wrinkles in faces with no recovery time. The substance is largely hyaluronic acid (HA), a substance normally found in skin and body. As you age, you start to lose HA, which causes the skin to lose structure and volume, contributing to the formation of wrinkles and folds. Juvederm is a non-surgical, FDA-approved facial filler that is ideal for removing nasolabial folds, or “smile lines”, creases of skin which run from the corners of the nose to the corners of the mouth. Older faces take on more youthful appearance because HA is known to bind with collagen—the material that supports human facial skin—and elastin to move more basic nutrients into the skin.

WHAT IS VOLUMA?

Voluma is part of the Juvederm range and is a hyaluronic acid based dermal filler. It differs from the other Juvederm dermal fillers because it is much thicker as it is used for re-contouring and restoring lost volume in the face rather than to plump out specific lines and wrinkles as would a basic dermal filler. It combines with collagen and elastin to improve the skin’s structure and elasticity for results lasting up to two years with optimal treatment.
