Juvederm (Hyaluronic Acid Gel)

Juvederm is an over-the-counter dermal filler medication that effectively treats wrinkles, face lines, and skin folds without requiring a prescription. It is administered as an injection and can also be injected into lips with a lip augmentation procedure. Juvederm contains hyaluronic acid, which helps to retain water at the injection site and gives a plumping effect that makes the skin appear smoother. It's important to note that the results of Juvederm injections are temporary, and most people will require a reinjection within 9 months to 1 year of the initial one.

Directions

Juvederm injections are placed into the mid-to-the-deep dermis layer of facial skin and are always administered by a cosmetic medical professional. You should not attempt to self-administer this dermal filler injection.

Ingredients

The active ingredient in Juvederm is Hyaluronic Acid Gel.

Cautions

Juvederm gel injections must not go into blood vessels because of the risk of blood vessel blockage.

The injection may cause temporary discomfort or even stinging pain during administration.

Any swelling resulting from an injection is normal and is not a cause for concern. Use an ice pack or cold compress over the injection site if needed to reduce swelling.

Individuals with any history of severe allergies or anaphylaxis may not be suitable for using Juvederm and should obtain a doctor’s approval before proceeding to buy Juvederm online. Patients with excessive scarring or skin pigmentation disorders will also consult with a doctor or dermatologist before starting on Juvederm.

Avoid extensive sun or heat exposure, strenuous exercise, or alcohol consumption for 24 hours after injection.

It is best if women refrain from applying makeup to the face for several days or up to a week after each Juvederm injection.

Interactions

No significant drug interactions between Hyaluronic Acid and Rx medications have been established, but if you have concerns, you may want to speak with a dispensing pharmacist and tell them of the medications you are currently using before you buy Juvederm.

Side Effects

Juvederm side effects may occur, and some users may experience redness, pain or tenderness, firmness, swelling, lumps or bruises, itching, or discoloration. If you experience any side effects that become unbearable or worsen, it is recommended that you stop using the product and consult a dermatologist for alternative skin wrinkle reduction treatments.
