Juvederm is made from cross linked hyaluronic acid. This hyaluronic acid is also present in the human body. The hyaluronic acid provides the skin its elasticity as well as smoothness. As we age this acid gets depleted and the kin loses it firmness. To make sure that skin retains its elasticity the hyaluronic acid is injected and that acid absorbs water and gains volume which helps in filling up the severe wrinkles.

Since hyaluronic acid is already present in the body the newly injected hyaluronic generally does not have any side effects.

Some patients tend to get some lumps underneath the skin and in some cases they may also have the gel spreading to some other areas of the body after it was injected at the intended area. Now these lumps can easily be dissolved using special enzyme injections.

You have to be a bit careful after the injections are done so that the affected area is protected from sun or any steam bath. This helps to avoid any sort of adverse reactions.

Again if you think you have redness or itching then you can out an ice pack on the affected area to feel better.

Juvederm is FDA approved and it is very safe for use and side effects are minimal.
