Reviews of Juvederm Hydrate cosmetologists
There are many reviews about biorevitalization Juvederm Hydrate not only from patients who have already successfully completed the course of introducing the composition, but also from professionals who have their own opinion on this matter.
Marina Vladimirovka (cosmetologist, 37 years old):
“Often women who have planned a biorevitalization procedure are asked which composition to choose. Despite the high cost, I usually recommend Juvederm, which is effective and long-lasting.
In what cases is the use of the drug recommended? It successfully smoothes wrinkles, moisturizes epidermal tissue, and significantly increases elasticity. I recommend its use to ladies suffering from pigment spots or enlarged pores - they become almost invisible or disappear completely.”
Veronica (cosmetologist, 35 years old):
“I would like to tell you about the peculiarity of the drug - it does not just relieve skin problems that arise with age. The composition creates a special barrier that completely prevents the loss of moisture from the epidermis - the cells remain saturated for a long time. This also affects the condition of the skin – it looks fresh and young.”
Svetlana (cosmetologist, 28 years old):
“I don’t have as much experience in the field of cosmetology as many experienced colleagues, but I often have to deal with Juvederm. Why do many ladies prefer this composition? I believe that it’s all about effectiveness; not every drug can not only get rid of age-related problems, but also protect the skin from harmful external influences. The only drawback of Juvederm, in my opinion, is the high cost. There’s nothing you can do about it – if you want to look beautiful, you have to pay.”
Biorevitalization procedure in the clinic
bioexpander
First of all, the cosmetologist will conduct a detailed consultation, talk about the peculiarities of the action of the cosmetic product, the process of the procedure, contraindications, and individual sensitivity to the product. There is no special additional preparation for the cosmetic procedure. Mesotherapy, according to surveys, can be useful before biorevitalization. But these are matters of a purely individual approach.
The procedure for administering a cosmetic injection takes a little more than half an hour. Conventionally, the procedure takes place in three steps.
- Treatment of the area undergoing the procedure with antiseptic agents.
- Slow injection under the skin.
- Carrying out a massage procedure that promotes uniform distribution of the cosmetic product.
After the massage, the cosmetologist will advise you to limit any impact on the skin. This applies to cosmetics, natural or artificial tanning, as well as saunas (baths), self-massage and going to the pool. Failure to comply with these rules will result in redness and mild itching. Like any intervention in the body, the use of cosmetic procedures is not immune to side effects of varying nature and severity. According to surveys, women who used Juvederm Hydrate experienced side effects such as:
- Hematomas.
- Local seals.
- Bruising.
- Swelling.
- Lack of expected effect.
Side effects can occur either a short time after the injection or several days later. Everything should go away in a week. If the side effect does not go away or worsens, urgent consultation and medical intervention is necessary.
Indications for use
After micropapular administration, the drug spreads in the epithelial layer, penetrating damaged cells.
Juvederm effectively fights against:
- age-related skin changes;

- the presence of age spots, dark circles under the eyes;
- excessive dryness of the skin.
Biorevitalization with Juvederm Hydrate restores elasticity and firmness to the skin, significantly improves color, and gives a natural matte finish.
At the age of 25-40 years, the cosmetic product is recommended to be used as the main restorative procedure. Application after 40 years should be combined with other restorative procedures.
Review of Juvederm Hydrate for biorevitalization
Juvederm Hydrate is manufactured in the USA by Allergan. It is used for biorevitalization: injections into the upper layers of the skin - but it is not a filler, so it is not used to enlarge any part of the face.
Juvederm lingers in the tissues for a long time, improving the overall appearance of the skin: it becomes moisturized, elastic, wrinkles are smoothed out.
For what zones and ages is it suitable?
Although the drug is relatively new, it is already actively used in cosmetology, it has passed all the relevant tests. Usually, biorevitalization is performed with Juvederm on people of both sexes, aged 25-40 years.
The composition of the drug is very simple, it contains only two active substances:
- hyaluronic acid;
- mannitol
Hyaluronic acid fills skin voids and retains moisture, making skin softer and more elastic.
Mannitol is an antioxidant that slows down the breakdown of hyaluronic acid, making the results of the procedure last longer.
Juvederm Hydrate is used both for several parts of the body and for small local areas. So, most often corrected:
- facial zones;
- décolleté area;
- neck;
- stomach;
- Hands.
Important: before deciding on the procedure, make sure that you do not have an individual allergy to the active ingredients of the drug.
How long does the effect last?
All the advantages of biorevitalization over plastic surgery are that the result is achieved instantly, lasts a long time - and the rehabilitation period is several days.
The result is noticeable immediately, but the long-term effect varies for each part of the body:
- lips – 4-6 months;
- cheeks – year;
- wrinkles around the mouth and eyes – a year.
Lifestyle also affects: with an unbalanced diet, alcohol abuse, smoking, stress, physical activity and other similar factors, the time until results are visible is significantly reduced.
Juvederm breaks down naturally in the tissues - and is naturally excreted from the body without creating any toxic compounds. But if for some reason the patient does not like the result, he can contact a cosmetologist, who will dissolve the gel using the enzyme hyaluronidase.
List of contraindications
Like everything, there are certain contraindications to the biorevitalization procedure:
- individual intolerance to the composition of the drug (hyaluronic acid and mannitol);
- lactation and pregnancy;
- presence of fillers under the skin;
- recent chemical peeling;
- mental illness (epilepsy);
- skin diseases, fungus;
- weakened immune system;
- psoriasis;
- the presence of deep scars at the injection sites;
- tendency to form scars;
- hemophilia.
There may be more contraindications for use for a particular person: therefore, it is very important to be examined by a doctor before signing up for the procedure.

There are a number of side effects that may become noticeable immediately, or may only become apparent after the procedure.
So, immediate side effects are:
- papules at the injection sites (should resolve);
- tissue swelling;
- skin redness;
- hematomas;
- itching;
- the effect of the procedure is poorly noticeable;
- allergy;
- pinched nerve.
Over time, the following complications may appear:

Important: keep the packaging of the drug that was administered to you - and in case of unexpected complications, contact your cosmetologist. He must break down the drug and remove it - and notify the manufacturers.
Description of the procedure technique
First of all, you need to verify the authenticity and quality of the anti-aging product. The box must be without signs of damage. The expiration date must be compared with the release date to ensure Juvederm is not expired.
After eliminating the possibility of complications and the absence of contraindications, the rejuvenation procedure can begin. First, the skin of the treated area must be thoroughly cleaned using special antiseptic agents.
Injections are given using the micropapular method, without deep penetration into the skin. The product must be administered slowly, following ultra-precise rejuvenation technology.
The procedure must take place in a specialized clinic. Independent manipulations at home are strictly prohibited.
After the injections, the specialist massages the treated area of skin with light stroking movements to evenly distribute the drug.
Administration technique
The Juvederm Hydrate corrector for biorevitalization is used after careful preliminary preparation. The doctor must know which drug to choose, its dose, structural features of the skin, age and health status of the patient.
No less important is the technique of using biorevitalizant. The doctor must understand the mechanism of action of the drug. Juvederm is injected into the upper and middle layers of the epidermis. Microimplants are used to correct facial contours and add volume to the chin area. To remove wrinkles, a linear technique is used, when the needle is inserted the entire length parallel to the wrinkle.
To correct the corners of the mouth and enlarge the lips, the fan technique is used. The injection area is pre-treated with an antiseptic composition. The doctor makes the decision on choosing a drug for pain relief together with the patient. The syringe package is opened in the presence of the patient, and recommendations are given after the procedure. The session lasts no more than 30 minutes, the patient may experience redness and slight swelling at the injection site.
Questions and answers about using Juvederm Hydrate
Can I have Juvederm Hydrate injections during pregnancy?
The rejuvenation procedure is strictly prohibited during pregnancy and lactation. The active substances of the drug can negatively affect the mother’s body, the formation of the fetus, and the health of the child.
How many procedures are needed for greater effect?
The rejuvenation course consists of three procedures with an interval of 3-4 weeks. However, the number of manipulations may be more or less (this is determined by a specialist). It all depends on the condition of the skin and the expected effect.
Which is better: hyaluronic acid or Botox?
Two completely different cosmetic preparations in terms of pharmacological properties and methods of influence. Hyaluronic acid nourishes the skin and moisturizes it. Botox blocks the mobility of facial muscles. Each client determines for himself what is better and safer.
Can Juvederm Hydrate be used for injections in places with implants?
The compatibility of the drug with various implants can only be determined by a qualified specialist. The procedure has a number of contraindications, with an increased percentage of risk. It is better to avoid combining. More detailed instructions can be obtained from a cosmetologist.
What is the difference between Aquashine and Juvederm Hydrate?
Both drugs are based on hyaluronic acid. Their excipients are different. Aquashine and Juvederm combine similar properties aimed at deeply moisturizing the skin and restoring elasticity. Cosmetic products have different manufacturers (USA, South Korea) and prices, but the effect of Juvederm lasts longer than that of Aquashine and other analogues.
Recommendations for further care
To maintain the rejuvenation effect longer, the following rules must be strictly followed:
- immediately after the procedure, it is strictly forbidden to use cosmetics or medications without proper advice from a specialist;
- you cannot visit saunas, baths, swimming pools;
- You should not sunbathe in a solarium or be exposed to direct sunlight for a long time.
Do not worry if redness appears on the skin at the injection sites. This is a natural reaction to the insertion of a needle and will go away on its own within a few hours after the procedure.
Reviews of biorevitalization Juvederm Hydrate
Lyudmila, 37 years old, Moscow:
I have been using Juvederm Hydrate for several years now. I carry out biorevitalization once every six months. Children, work, everyday life are exhausting, I get very tired, which undoubtedly affects my appearance. Everyone chooses to take care of their appearance for themselves. The procedure is not cheap, but I’d rather not buy an extra skirt for myself, but I won’t miss the next procedure.
Ksenia, 34 years old, Astrakhan:
I undergo procedures with Juvederm Hydrate to smooth out transverse creases on the neck. Three injections are enough for 6-8 months, then I repeat. This winter I made up my mind and made injections in the area of the hands. I was very pleased. Moreover, the effect on the hands lasts longer than on the neck. I recommend Juvederm rejuvenation for those who have not yet chosen their method.
Olga, 42 years old, Belgorod:
Often women are asked which composition to choose for the biorevitalization procedure. I recommend Juvederm; it differs from its analogues in its effectiveness and longer exposure time. Despite the high cost, the drug is very popular among experienced cosmetologists.
It quickly smoothes out wrinkles, acts as a natural hydrant of the epidermis, and increases elasticity. I recommend its use to ladies suffering from age spots, enlarged pores and excessive dry skin.
Side effects of the drug
Peels Laboratory Cytolife
After administration of the drug, there is a risk of developing the following side effects:
- The appearance of bruises;
- The appearance of edema;
- Drying of the skin;
- Formation of compactions in the injection area;
- The appearance of noticeable nodules from punctures;
- Formation of bruising;
- Exacerbation of chronic pathologies;
- Lack of the desired effect;
- Burning skin;
- Necrosis on very thin areas of skin.
To reduce the possibility of complications, it is necessary to refuse the procedure if one of the contraindications is present.
How often to inject the drug
The course should not be shorter than 2-3 months. Injections are performed once every 2 weeks. After completing the rejuvenation course, it is advisable to carry out maintenance treatment - one procedure every 2 months.
Duration of effect
Complete resorption of hyaluronic acid occurs within six months or a year. Reviews confirm that at the end of the full course, the effect lasts for 8 months. During this time, the injected substances, as a rule, are absorbed, and the effect of the drug ceases.
This does not mean that the skin will return to its original state before treatment, but the hyaluronic acid will be excreted from the body and will not maintain moisture in the skin, which means it will begin to fade again.
It is worth knowing that the duration of the effect is significantly reduced when leading an unhealthy lifestyle: smoking, drinking alcohol, nervous stress, and the like.
Average cost of the drug
The cost of biorevitalization using this drug depends on the duration of the course. Basically it is about 30 thousand rubles. If we talk about the cost of the drug itself, then 1 milliliter will cost about 10 thousand rubles. This amount is enough to treat the face or neck.
Care Tips
To avoid side effects of using this biorevitalizant, you should follow the advice of cosmetologists:
- If allergies or severe itching occur, consult a doctor;
- Apply a cold compress;
- Do not use decorative cosmetics, as they can cause allergies;
- Use creams recommended by a cosmetologist;
- Do not sunbathe, as age spots may appear and inflammation may develop;
- Do not visit the pool during the treatment period.
Efficacy of the drug
Practice shows that Juvederm Hydrate is quite effective. It can really reduce the number of wrinkles and normalize the condition of the dermis. By completing the whole course, you can get rid of dark circles under the eyes. Thin eye skin becomes tightened and radiant. The drug also helps solve the problem of skin unevenness.
Juvederm hydrate is popular because it temporarily improves the structure of the lower layer of the epidermis and makes the skin more hydrated. Well-hydrated skin produces more elastin and collagen, which make it glow. The procedure awakens the activation of the cell restoration process.
Unlike peelings and creams, this drug acts from the inside. Superficial products cannot give the same effect as biorevitalization. Therefore, if you want to stop the aging process and return the skin to the condition it had several decades ago, you cannot do without hyaluronic acid injections. The procedure creates a frame, thanks to which the turgor of the dermis is restored, that is, the skin becomes elastic, deep wrinkles disappear, the oval of the face improves, and the skin tone is evened out.
The cosmetic drug Juvederm Hydrate has been on the cosmetology market for more than 10 years. During this time, he gained adherents among doctors and patients.
