Juvederm Safety

Juvederm Safety: Juvederm is categorized as a hyaluronic acid filler used to reduce the appearance of lines, wrinkles, and skin folds on the face, neck, and other areas of the body. Found naturally in the second layer of human skin (the dermis), it holds up to 1,000 times its own weight in fluid, keeping the skin hydrated. 

Other fillers that use this same substance as their main ingredient include Restylane and Perlane. Juvederm Ultra and Juvederm Ultra Plus have been used for many years and have a proven record of being safe and highly effective. There have been very few allergic reactions to this ingredient, since it is already a natural component in the skin anyway. The minor side effects that may occur are often a result of superficial injections from inexperienced or untrained doctors trying to do the injections. Some of these side effects may include some pain, bruising, lumpy skin texture, or a bluish coloring to the skin. 

Juvederm safety is fairly well studied. The only known serious complication is skin necrosis and ulceration, whici s a result of an injection into an arterial vessel. This usually happens in the sensitive area between the brows and a skilled cosmetic surgeon will be aware of the dangers and how to avoid it. This is the most sensitive area for this type of injection. The laugh lines are actually the most commonly treated area with this type of injection, and it is extremely safe in those areas of the face. Overall, Juvederm injections are extremely safe, especially when used in less critical areas such as smile lines (nasolabial folds). Any serious complications are extremely low in occurrence and can usually be avoided if patients only select highly trained and experienced plastic surgeons for their procedures. This remains one of the safest DA based wrinkle line fillers on the market today. 

As long as the procedure is undergone with a skilled professional after a thorough evaluation, there is nothing to worry about for most patients. A skilled professional will never rush into this type of treatment or deliver it for the first time in a party setting. All of the possible side effects and complications should be gone over as well as a complete history of the patient. 

The best professionals will even give out social advice, such as never to have this done the day of an important engagement. Juvederm is safe and well trusted army against the unwanted signs of aging. Since it is found naturally within the body there is little risk of allergic reaction.
