Juvederm is made from a substance calledHyaluronic acidNatural sugarspolymerIt is made of hyaluronic acid, which is also commonly known as hyaluronic acid. This substance is one of the inherent components of human skin. The hyaluronic acid raw material used in Juvederm® injection gel isMicrobial fermentationIt is made in accordance with the law, not derived from animals, and is safe and effective. [1]
Currently, there are three series of Juvéderm® products on the market in China, namely Juvéderm ULTRA®, Juvéderm ULTRA PLUS® and Juvéderm VOLUMA®.
Juvederm Brilliant® and Juvederm Ultra® are manufactured using HYLACROSS™ technology and are soft, smooth and homogeneous. The gel does not contain particles and has a natural and smooth touch after injection. The three-dimensional gel matrix gives it high cohesion that other hyaluronic acids do not have, and it has strong lifting and shaping capabilities, is not easily degraded, and lasts a long time.

HYLACROSS™ Technology

HYLACROSS technology refers to the use of high-concentration hyaluronic acid in a highly cross-linked process to produce a homogeneous, particle-free gel that has a highly cohesive three-dimensional structure.

Strict aseptic control in the production process enhances the ductility and long-lasting effect of hyaluronic acid. The smoothness reduces the resistance of pushing the needle, thus reducing the pain of the customer during injection.

What is hyaluronic acid? Hyaluronic acid is a substance that exists naturally in human tissue. It can absorb water efficiently, increase skin volume, and make the skin look plump and elastic. Natural hyaluronic acid molecules will be decomposed and metabolized in the human body after about 1-2 days, so the hyaluronic acid molecules in human skin are constantly replaced. However, as we age, the loss rate of hyaluronic acid will greatly exceed the rate of its growth and replacement, making this replacement mechanism unable to function normally. At this time, the skin will gradually lose its water storage capacity and fine lines and wrinkles will appear. Hyaluronic acid is often used in cosmetic plastic surgery to improve the skin quality of customers. At the same time, hyaluronic acid is also used in joint treatment and eye surgery.

Of course, no matter what, Juvederm injections fall within the scope of the medical field, so when injecting Juvederm products, patients must carefully select the doctor who will perform the injections, his or her qualifications and treatment experience, as well as personal aesthetics. These aspects all represent the doctor's level of performance. Experienced injection doctors are familiar with the anatomical layers, blood vessels and distribution of facial muscles of the human body. After a facial assessment, they will select the appropriate dose and site for the injection.
