Juvederm, The Latest Line Filler

Allergan, Inc., the makers of Botox®, are now marketing their latest facial enhancement product: Juvedermâ„¢ injectable gel.

Made from naturally occurring hyaluronic acid, Juvederm offers another nonsurgical option for smoothing out creases, wrinkles, and folds that come from living a full life. The company website describes a smoother consistency gel is unique to Juvederm, resulting in a more natural feel. Like other hyaluronic acid products, skin allergies to treatment are not expected.

Injections directly into the sites are performed in exam rooms within about 15 minutes, using either topical or injectable anesthesia, with little recovery time. Results are said to last up to six months.

Studies showed adverse events of usually mild to moderate severity, not requiring intervention, and lasting a week or less. Most common side effects reported were related to temporary injection site reactions such as redness, pain, firmness, swelling, lumps, bumps, and bruising.
