Product overview
Juvederm ultra smile is considered one of the most popular drugs for lip sculpting. Its effectiveness has been proven by more than 10 million procedures.
The gel delicately fills the intercellular matrix of connective tissue, lips become plumper and seductive. In addition, the result is natural, there is no “duck” effect.
Compound
The active substance in the composition is hyaluronic acid, which is removed through the synthesis of raw materials of non-animal origin.
It is the absence of animal proteins that helps fill the missing volume without the body rejecting the implant.
The peculiarity of this filler is that when it acts, the hydrobalance is replenished at the cellular level, thanks to this:
- lips are smoothed;
- it turns out to eliminate wrinkles;
- natural collagen and elastin are synthesized, which are responsible for the elasticity of the skin.
An additional component in the composition is mannitol (phosphate buffer with pH 7.2). It guarantees the longevity of the results of the contouring procedure and enhances the ability of hyaluronic acid to attract liquid molecules.
Like all preparations in the Juvederm Ultra collection, the product contains lidocaine, which minimizes pain during the invasion process.
Manufacturer
The patented formula of Juvederm filler for lip augmentation belongs to the American company Allergan.
Production is carried out under strict control, so there is no risk of harmful substances and toxins entering the dermal filler.
Juvederm Ultra Smile
Juvederm Ultra Smile
- a filler based on hyaluronic acid Juviderm Ultra Smile was created specifically for a spectacular, comfortable increase in lip volume and correction of their contour. The drug is also used to correct wrinkles and create a renewed contour.
Packaging: 2 syringes x 0.55 ml
Filler based on hyaluronic acid Juvederm Ultra Smile (Uvederm Ultra Smile) is a transparent, monophasic, viscous gel designed specifically for correcting the shape, adding volume and relief to the lip area. The composition of the drug includes hyaluronic acid of non-animal origin 24 mg, lidocaine hydrochloride 3 mg and phosphate buffer pH 7.2.
The filler manufacturer, Allergan, developed this product to obtain an ideal, lasting effect while adding natural volume to the lips, giving them a clear, even contour and smooth surface.
Juvederm Ultra Smile (Uvederm Ultra Smile) composition and action
The high degree of purification of hyaluronic acid allowed Juviderm Ultra Smile to pass quality certification according to US standards, which is the best proof of the highest quality of this product.
Hyaluronic acid of non-animal origin allows the gel to ideally interact with the patient’s tissues without causing rejection or allergic reactions, and also completely biodegrade over time under the influence of natural hyaluronidase, which breaks down HA molecules. The active substance HA in Juvederm Ultra Smile not only fills the relief from the inside, forming subcutaneous depots of the active substance, but also accumulates and retains moisture in the cells, providing long-term hydration of the surface of the lips.
Due to the content of lidocaine in the drug, the procedure is painless, and the result is the most natural and delicate, since the patient’s muscles are maximally relaxed at the time of drug administration.
The phosphate buffer is intended to reduce swelling after the procedure, as well as to prolong the effect obtained.

Benefits of Juvederm Ultra Smile (Uvederm Ultra Smile)
It is not for nothing that the gel has earned such popularity among cosmetologists and patients of cosmetology clinics. According to the results of an internal study by Allergan, 91% of patients were satisfied with the effect of using the drug.
The main advantages of the gel are:
Prolonged results for 3-12 months. The lips are the area where filler lasts the least amount of time due to the active blood supply. In general, the result depends on the individual characteristics of the patient’s body, but usually clients are satisfied with the duration of the effect.
Safety. The high technology of production of the drug, the company’s quality standards and the non-animal origin of the synthesized hyaluronic acid provide the gel with the highest level of safety.
Ease of use of the filler due to its soft homogeneous structure. Convenience of work is also facilitated by the relaxation of the patient’s muscles during insertion.
The procedure is comfortable due to the analgesic properties of lidocaine hydrochloride.
The naturalness of the result is ensured by the high plasticity of the gel, which helps the filler to be distributed evenly under the skin.
Juvederm Ultra Smile indications for use:
- increasing lip volume; — correction of vertical wrinkles in the circumlabial area; — correction of drooping corners of the lips; - restoration of the symmetrical shape of the lips; — correction of the shape of the lips by filling and smoothing the surface; — some specialists use this soft plastic gel to correct soft tissues in the chin, cheeks and cheekbones.
Due to the fact that the drug is not completely hydrated, it needs time to show its full effect. That is, final conclusions about the result of the injection can be made only after 3-4 weeks.
Contraindications and precautions:
Despite the fact that contour plastic surgery is not a major surgical intervention, like any injection procedure, it has a list of contraindications and possible side effects. The individual reaction of the patient's body is unpredictable in each individual case.
Before use, the specialist must familiarize the patient with a list of precautions when using the drug.
It is prohibited to introduce the gel into the skin of the eyelids, into blood vessels, and into muscles. Not used for volumetric facial correction. A doping test can give a positive result, which is important for athletes to know about. It is impossible to use the drug while taking certain medications (see detailed package insert).

Buyanov Sergey Yurievich (Expert Doctor):

Advantages
The global cosmeceuticals market offers many specialized drugs, but the Juvederm Ultra Smile filler has significant advantages. Among them:
- short rehabilitation period and minimal risk of side effects;
- painlessness of the procedure due to the anesthetic included in the composition;

General information about the filler
Juvederm Ultra Smile is one of the classic products from the American company Allergan. All components included in the composition are optimally selected and are designed to provide long-lasting positive results, after which you will not need to make corrections for a whole year. Among the ingredients of the product are:
- Hyaluronic acid (a substance of non-animal origin that does not cause rejection or allergies. Forms volume, promotes maximum tissue hydration).
- Lidocaine (Anesthetic. Neutralizes pain and ensures easy insertion of the implant, thanks to which auxiliary injections are not required).
- Phosphate buffer (Additional component responsible for the duration of the result).
After we have determined the composition and properties of the product, it is time to talk about its cost. The price of one milliliter of filler in the capital region ranges from 9 to 13 thousand rubles. Usually this amount is quite enough for one lip modeling session, that is, for a period of 8 to 12 months.
Purchasing the drug
The filler is available in the form of two syringes with a volume of 0.55 ml each. The average cost of a package fluctuates around 7,500 rubles.
Juvederm smile is widely in demand, so there is a possibility of buying a fake.
You should be wary of a price that is too low or a huge discount. Even if it is original, it may have been stored or transported incorrectly.
The best option is to purchase the product on the manufacturer’s official website, but they need to provide a diploma to confirm their medical education.
Therefore, the second option is to buy a certified drug with all accompanying documents through official distributors. They are:
- A410;
- Archimedes;
- Pharmservice;
- Irwin 2;
- Pharmaceutical kit;
- FC Pulse;
- Adonis Esthetician;
- Mega pharma.
Main characteristics and scope of application
The group of hyaluronic fillers also includes Juvederm preparations. They contain a high concentration of HA and are used when necessary to obtain the most noticeable effect . The manufacturer of these products is the well-known American company Allergan. Fillers are available in the form of gels packaged in disposable syringes.
Juvederm fillers have a high degree of safety because they contain hyaluronic acid of non-animal origin, produced using biosynthesis . They do not contain any additional inclusions. Thus, when using the drug, there is practically no rejection or allergic reaction.
The scope of application of the Juvederm filler line is quite wide:
- elimination of wrinkles and folds;
- correction of lip contour, increasing their volume;
- giving additional volume;
- correction of facial asymmetry;
- modeling and restoration of facial contours.
Juvederm products have a minimum of contraindications and side effects characteristic of all types of hyaluronic fillers.
Contraindications
The occurrence of side effects is minimized. But they can appear in the presence of certain contraindications, which are identified at an appointment with a cosmetologist and are considered by a specialist on an individual basis.
Restrictions for carrying out invasion:
- the presence of another dermal filler in the correction area;
- autoimmune diseases;
- individual intolerance to the component composition, which may result in allergic manifestations and anaphylactic shock;
- streptococcal infections (rheumatism, sore throat, etc.);
- taking anticoagulants (they thin the blood, so the risk of bruising increases);
- the client is undergoing therapy with drugs that inhibit liver metabolism, such as beta blockers and simethidine;
- pathologies of the cardiovascular system;
- psychosomatic disorders;
- oncology;
- pregnancy;
- epilepsy;
- tendency to form atrophied scars;
- lactation;
- minority;
- inflammatory processes in the area of correction;
- critical days;
- exacerbation of chronic diseases.
Buyanov Sergey Yurievich (Expert Doctor):
Almost every manufacturer of cosmetic correction products includes “critical days” or “menstruation” in the list of contraindications. This is a completely reasonable requirement. The fact is that any planned surgical interventions are recommended to be done in the first phase of the cycle, but not during menstruation, but on 1-5 “dry days”. At this time, the woman’s hormonal background is tuned to regeneration; in the second half of the cycle, healing is sluggish, because all body tissues are filled with fluid, blood flow in the capillaries is reduced to a minimum. A woman is in the same state during “critical days” and pregnancy.
Reviews from patients and cosmetologists about Juvederm preparations
Ekaterina, 20 years old, Zlatoust:
Six months ago I got married. Of course, on such a day I wanted to look good, so I decided to enlarge my lips a little. The cosmetologist recommended Ultra Smile. I don’t know how much filler was injected, but the effect was wonderful. The volume lasted a long time, there were no complications. I want to repeat the procedure.
Svetlana, 42 years old, Kaluga:
My skin quality is good, there are no pronounced wrinkles, but the nasolabial folds spoil everything. I decided to use Juvederm Ultra 3. First I read the reviews, chose a good clinic, and consulted with a cosmetologist. There was no pain during the injections, the effect of the drug lasted for 10 months. I liked it very much. It's like she's 7 years younger.
Yulia, 45 years old, Novodvinsk:
I constantly go to the beauty salon for massages. Not long ago, the doctor suggested trying fillers. I agreed and really regretted it. The fact is that I have fairly allergic skin, so I even use creams with great caution. But I really wanted to get rid of wrinkles. As a result, I got a lot of troubles - my face became swollen, red, and then itching began. Horror. I can’t go out into the street like this, but I have to go to work. It’s a shame that this happened, because the wrinkles really smoothed out, but I definitely won’t repeat the procedure.
Precautionary measures
The result of the procedure depends not only on the quality of the filler. The qualifications of the specialist also play an important role. Only a certified cosmetologist will be able to identify a complete picture of the client’s health condition and correctly perform the plastic surgery itself.
In most cases, complications arise in the presence of contraindications, due to medical error or due to the incompatibility of hyaluron with benzalkonium chloride, which is used in some clinics for processing instruments.
Possible side effects after Ultra Smile invasion:
- bruises in places where the skin is punctured;
- allergy;
- granulomas;
- abscess;
- soft tissue necrosis;
- changing skin tone to lighter or darker;
- inflammatory processes (erythema, swelling, redness);
- soreness;
- hematomas;
- seals and nodules at the point where the needle enters.
During the first few days, redness and swelling are normal; everything goes away on its own, without additional therapy.
If symptoms intensify or persist for a long time, you should consult a specialist as soon as possible.
Active ingredients of Juvederm
A feature and at the same time an advantage of Juvederm biopolymers is their high-quality composition. The unique formula of the drugs contains:
- highly purified hyaluronic acid of non-animal origin;
- auxiliary components - phosphate buffer and mannitol - providing an anti-inflammatory effect and lasting results;
- local anesthetic lidocaine, which helps to easily and painlessly introduce the biogel.
The base component of Juvederm is the best natural moisturizer for epithelial tissues. Hyaluronic acid is a part of our body and is essential for maintaining healthy skin, ligaments and joints. The remarkable ability of the substance to attract and retain large amounts of moisture has found application in aesthetic cosmetology.
Operating principle
Dryness, thinning and sagging skin are a direct consequence of insufficient synthesis of organic hyaluronate. Losing polysaccharide reserves, the dermis becomes covered with wrinkles and folds, sags, and loses its brightness and radiance. And first of all, these unpleasant changes appear on the face and neck. Juvederm injections will help cope with them.
Getting deep into the epidermis, the filler begins to gradually split, attracting water molecules. Thus, a moisturizer depot is created at the injection site and active renewal of the body’s own cells occurs. The tissues receive additional volume, the bottom of the creases is raised and the skin is evened out.
If a person is not prone to edema, the effect of administering the drug will be remarkable. The face will become young and fresh, completely maintaining naturalness and facial expressions.
For patients suffering from excess accumulation of fluid in tissues, hyaluronic biopolymer is unlikely to benefit - severe swelling will be created at the injection site and the face will become puffy. Therefore, before introducing filler, you should eliminate all existing diseases and only then take care of your appearance.
Purposes for which Juvederm is ideal:
Lip augmentation | |
Filling nasolabial folds | |
Nose correction without surgery | |
Raising the corners of the lips | |
Cheek augmentation |
The main purpose of using Juvederm fillers is to create volume and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Therefore, the introduction of biogels is indicated in the following cases:
- pronounced nasolabial folds;
- thin or asymmetrical lips;
- purse-string wrinkles around the mouth;
- creases in the forehead and bridge of the nose;
- clown smile;
- crow's feet;
- dark circles under the eyes;
- deepening of the nasolacrimal duct.
In addition to eliminating various wrinkles and folds, Juvederm fillers can correct the shape of the cheekbones and the shape of the face, fill the missing volume in the cheek area, and even correct the nose after rhinoplasty.
Another purpose of Juvederm preparations is intensive moisturizing and healing of the skin, preventing the first signs of aging. It is for these purposes that biorevitalizant gels are used..
Description of the procedure
The drug is injected into the mucous membrane of the lips or directly into the subcutaneous space.
The procedure must be carried out by a cosmetologist. Doing this at home is strictly prohibited.
In the process, special plastic needles are used, which are inserted to the required depth. The cosmetologist chooses the technique based on the task at hand and individual characteristics.
Preparation
Another decisive factor for achieving the desired result is preparing the body for the upcoming procedure. A picture of the client’s health is also compiled to identify limitations.
In the next few weeks it is prohibited:
- drinking alcohol;
- eat excessively salty or fatty foods;
- smoke;
- visit the solarium;
- exercise.
Administration techniques
According to the instructions, filler can be administered in several ways.
- Fan technique . One of the varieties of linear. The needle is immersed completely into the skin, the drug is introduced as the instrument is withdrawn in a continuous line. They also make several injections inside the epidermis at an angle (no more than 45 degrees). As a result, the subcutaneous pattern resembles a fan.
- Net . The principle is the same as the previous method. However, a series of punctures are made through which the lines of dermal filler are placed perpendicularly.
- Point by point . The essence of the technique is a series of injections. The gel is administered in small portions through punctures, each of them is made close to the previous one.
Stages
- Makeup remover Thorough treatment of the surface of the corrected area with a disinfectant.
- Opening the package, checking the expiration dates and integrity of the bottle. Reusing the drug is strictly prohibited, as is additional sterilization.
- Installing a needle on a syringe.
- Slow introduction of filler according to the indicated scheme.
- Antiseptic treatment.
- Light massage to evenly distribute the dermal gel.
The whole process takes no more than 20 minutes.
Operating principle
Fillers, which include Juvederm preparations, are transparent biogels intended for intradermal injections. To understand how these products work, you need to understand the causes of skin aging and wrinkles.
A comparison of dermal tissue with an orthopedic mattress would be appropriate here. Its elasticity depends on the strength of the springs and the quality of the filler, which fills all the free space inside the mattress cover. While the mattress is new, all its parts hold their shape well, the cover is taut, and in the event of any dent, it immediately returns to its original position. But as soon as the spring stretches, the inner layer sag, and the appearance is completely different. Folds, depressions, and creases appear.
Similar processes occur in our skin. Important here are collagen and elastin fibers, which hold the tissue frame like springs. But the main role is played by hyaluronic acid, which is part of the intercellular substance that fills the space between the protein threads. HA is able to attract and hold a large number of water molecules near itself, transforming the liquid into a gel-like state. Thus, it moisturizes the skin and creates a viscous, elastic environment, holding the main components of connective tissue in the correct position.
Understanding the importance of HA for maintaining optimal skin condition, many manufacturers of anti-aging and modeling products have relied on using it as the main active ingredient in their products. This substance is also included in the composition of gel fillers that are used in contour plastic surgery.

Necessary recommendations
Women decide to undergo anti-aging procedures with some apprehension, but always hope for a positive, or even better, stunning result.
In order for the real effect to justify all your aspirations and wishes, you need to remember some precautions. You should definitely take into account the list of contraindications and refuse the procedure during the following periods:
- pregnancy and lactation;
- exacerbation of chronic diseases;
- presence of inflammatory processes in the area of filler injection;
- emergence of infectious diseases.
Besides:
- An important contraindication is the patient having problems with blood clotting.
- Several weeks before the procedure, you must stop taking blood thinning medications that can lead to increased bleeding or bruising.
- You need to make sure that you are not allergic to the components of the drug, including lidocaine or mannitol.
- After the procedure, the area where the filler was introduced should not be exposed to sunlight or high temperatures.
- In the first days, you should try not to strain the muscles on your face. Any touching of the face or massage are also contraindicated.
Following these basic rules will help you get lasting results without any complications.
Healing period
To speed up the process of skin restoration, it is recommended to adhere to a number of rules:
- do not use decorative cosmetics for the first 12 hours after the invasion;
- You can’t sunbathe or go to the solarium;
- do not stay outside for a long time at sub-zero temperatures;
- do not visit the sauna, steam bath or swimming pool for the next 14 days;
- give up physical activity.
- do not smoke, do not drink alcohol and strong coffee.
- do not touch the affected area for the first couple of days.
It is permissible to use anti-inflammatory ointments and compresses, but only in consultation with a cosmetologist.
Pros and cons of Juvederm drugs
Experts note a number of positive qualities of Juvederm products, which make it possible to distinguish these fillers from a number of similar drugs:
- Durability of the results obtained. The introduction of Juvederm fillers allows you to obtain results that last for a long period - from 6 months to 1 year. Even on the lips, which due to their high mobility are considered the most aggressive environment for fillers, the achieved effect lasts up to 8 months. Please note that this parameter depends on the type of tool selected.
- Gel plasticity. Juvederm preparations have a homogeneous structure. This makes it easy to inject it under the skin. But the main thing is that, thanks to its softness, the gel spreads evenly inside, filling all the necessary space. In this way, it is possible to avoid asymmetry, heterogeneity, and the formation of tubercles.
- Compatibility. Since the fillers of the entire Juvederm series are absolutely safe, it is possible to use several drugs at the same time. This way you can solve several problems in one procedure, for example, get rid of wrinkles around the eyes and increase the volume of your cheekbones.
- Comfort of the procedure. The process of using Juvederm fillers is no different from similar procedures with other gels. However, in many cases, the patient needs to be numbed by applying an anesthetic cream to the skin. The soft structure and the presence of lidocaine in many preparations of the Juvederm series makes this unnecessary, and allows the entire procedure to be completed faster.
- The ability to select the exact dosage of HA. It has been established that hyaluronic acid is produced by the body independently for a long time, and this process occurs with varying intensity over the years. If additional doses of GC do not correspond to age, then the own mechanism is suspended. A wide variety of preparations from the Juvederm line with different dosages of acid allows you to accurately select a product that will not disrupt the natural processes in the body.
Along with these positive qualities of Juvederm fillers, there are also some problematic issues that the patient should be aware of :
- Applying the gel too superficially can give the skin a bluish tint.
- The desired result may not always be achieved after the first procedure, and it will need to be repeated one or two more times with an interval of 7-14 days. This, of course, will affect the cost of the cosmetologist’s services, so this possibility should be foreseen in advance.
The result of the injections will be fully formed 3-5 days after the procedure. The Juvederm gel that is injected under the skin is not completely saturated with water. After entering the tissue, HA begins to intensively attract water molecules and thereby leads to an increase in volume at the injection sites. Ignorance of this feature may lead to the introduction of an excessive amount of filler, which will have a negative effect . You need to be especially careful when increasing lip volume.
The difference between juvederm smile and princess filler
Princess filler and Juvederm ultra smile are often compared. These are the two most popular drugs for lip augmentation.
Both products contain hyaluronic acid of identical origin, which indicates their safety and high efficiency.
Juvederm loses a little due to the presence of mannitol, which can cause allergic reactions. However, in its favor, one can emphasize the painlessness of the session due to the lidocaine content.
Princess infestation requires additional treatment with anesthetic cream.
Possible side effects
Lip augmentation is a fairly simple procedure, however, as reviews indicate, quite often it is accompanied by various complications. Most often, after the introduction of the corrector, its uneven distribution may be observed, which, in turn, leads to the formation of an unnatural shape of the treated area. Among other things, side effects include bruising and bruising, an allergic reaction in the form of a rash and itching, mild pain, swelling, induration, red dots from the syringe at the injection site.
To reduce the risk of complications, it is necessary to follow a number of simple safety rules. As a rule, the specialist always warns about them at the consultation stage, but many patients prefer to safely forget about them. Reviews from real people confirm that this can indeed lead to additional complications. So you shouldn't:
- use decorative and cosmetics for skin care on the first day after using filler (in particular, lipstick or lip gloss);
- sunbathe under the natural sun or in a solarium;
- visit steam rooms, saunas, baths, expose your skin to high or extremely low temperatures;
- carry out aggressive cosmetic procedures immediately after the introduction of the corrector (peelings, additional injections);
- In the first few days after the injection, do an independent massage of the problem area.
Reviews from many women contain information about possible side effects. Remember, the body's reaction can be unpredictable. If you experience discomfort within one week, be sure to consult a specialist for help. But most often, side effects disappear within 4–5 days after the filler is administered.
Juvederm Ultra Smile increases lip volume, creates symmetry and balance
Opinion of cosmetologists
Juvederm Ultra Smile is one of the flagships of injection cosmetology. Many experts note its effectiveness and natural results. However, we should not forget about the individual characteristics of each.
Buyanov Sergey Yurievich (Expert Doctor):
A very good product, easy to work with, the results are always natural. Of course, it is not suitable for radical lip augmentation; you should take a denser product from this line. The goal of Juvederm Smile is natural moisturized lips.
What fillers are included in the series, and what is each of them intended for?
Juvederm fillers are widely known due to the wide range of drugs produced under this brand. This aspect is an indisputable advantage, since it makes it possible to implement an individual approach to solving the problem of each patient. The products differ from each other in their density and amount of hyaluronic acid content. There are several main lines of Juvederm fillers.
First generation drugs are numbered; the higher the number, the higher the concentration of hyaluronic acid..

- correction of linear wrinkles;
- combating wrinkles on the skin.
Juvederm 24 HV (Juvederm 24 HV) – used for:
- correction of nasolabial folds;

Juvederm 30 HV is the thickest filler in this group. It is applied for:
- correction of facial oval;
- increasing lip volume.
The new series of Juvederm preparations is developed based on the innovative patented 3Matrix technology. They contain intermolecularly bound hyaluronic acid and lidocaine. Fillers are marked Ultra . The numerical code indicates the degree of effectiveness - the higher the number, the higher the degree of complexity of the problems being solved.
Juvederm Ultra 2 is intended for introduction into the superficial layers of the dermis to:
- remove fine wrinkles on the forehead, around the mouth;
- eliminate crow's feet near the eyes.
Juvederm Ultra 3 is injected into the upper and middle layers of the dermis. Is used for:

Features of the correct choice and procedure
The Juvederm® line of preparations differs in composition, concentration of the active component and consistency density, which allows local action on a specific problem.
The choice of the correct injection of the drug is characterized by the general situation in the facial area. For example, if the patient is young and needs a slight increase in volume in the area of the upper or lower lip, then you should not inject a product with a rather dense consistency with a high acid content.
The same principle can be followed if correction of age-related changes in the lip area is required in combination with adding volume and outlining the contours of the lips.

In any case, the drug is administered only in specialized cosmetology rooms by qualified specialists. The dosage is determined, the patient’s general clinical history is examined, and an anesthetic drug is selected if necessary. Sometimes a specialist decides to combine several types of drugs to achieve a better result.
The procedure itself takes no more than an hour. If the aesthetic impact is minor, the procedure will take about 30 minutes. If a certain type does not contain anesthetic components, then a light anesthetic emulsion is used. The injection is administered with a very thin needle into problem areas of the skin. The effect is achieved almost instantly.
Wrinkles are smoothed out and the required volume appears. The final result is assessed a week after the cosmetic procedure.
After manipulation, slight hyperemia of the skin (redness), swelling in the area of local administration of the drug, and erythema are possible. All these effects are temporary and, if the process technology is followed, disappear within the next day.
The duration of action of Juvederm® is about a year. After the cessation of exposure, the drug finally disintegrates to residual neutral molecules (water + carbon dioxide). Juvederm® can be combined with other procedures, for example, chemical peeling and Botox injections.
Indications for the procedure and relative contraindications
The non-animal origin of the drug allows injections without a preliminary compatibility test. This is due to the high biological compatibility of the molecular composition of Juvederm® with the human body.
Depending on the task, injection technique and localization of facial imperfections, specialists determine which type of drug should be used.
Juvederm® is indicated in the following cases:
- wrinkles of different directions;
- wrinkles in the periorbital area, including crow's feet in the outer corners;
- severe creases near the mouth and between the eyebrows;
- deep nasolabial folds;
- natural defects of the chin, cheekbones;
- loss of contours of the oval face and volume of the cheeks;
- age-related changes.
Despite the absolute safety of the implant and the non-animal origin of the main components, the procedure may not be possible for patients with a clinical history of the following conditions:
- gestation (all trimesters) and breastfeeding period;
- high allergic response of the body to various pathogens;
- sensitivity to any components;
- immunodeficiency states;
- diseases of the nervous system:
- scar formation :
- other implants;
- aggravated medical history of the patient;

Temporary contraindications include chemical peeling or laser skin resurfacing. After such procedures, some time must pass.
There is also the possibility of complications and uneven distribution of the drug with congenital defects of the jaw bone, soft tissue of the lips or deformation of the skull bones. Lip augmentation with Juvederm® should be performed in specialized beauty salons. This will avoid unwanted risks to the patient’s health and external attractiveness.
