Juvederm Ultra Smile. Reviews, before and after photos, where to buy, how long it lasts, price

You should avoid strenuous activity for the next 24 hours and ibuprofen for the next 24-48 hours, but other than that, aftercare for the filler is minimal. Results are visible immediately upon completion of the procedure, although over the next two weeks the product settles and the area becomes more hydrated. Often for patients using fillers for the first time, a certain amount of the drug is injected, then given time to dissolve, and then the results are re-evaluated after two weeks.

In the first 48 hours after the procedure, lips tend to swell, so patients are advised to apply ice immediately after the procedure, before going to bed, and when they wake up in the morning. Lip filler may feel (but not look) uneven for up to two weeks, at which time it will usually be fully integrated into the tissue.

If bruising occurs during treatment, it is recommended to use the same icing technique and avoid alcohol and ibuprofen for another 24 hours.

It is important to note that discomfort with dermal fillers is related to the procedure itself, and pain should not persist or be present after the procedure. Bruises may occur, but they should never cause pain. If this occurs, tell your doctor immediately as it may be a sign of a complication.

Filler composition

The filler has a unique composition that gently affects problem areas, creating the desired cosmetic effect.

Filler composition:

Hyaluronic acid	It is of non-animal origin and has a high degree of purification. It is evenly distributed in the tissues of the epidermis. This allows her to carefully care for the skin of her lips and around her mouth. It also prevents dryness and prevents the formation of wrinkles.
Mannitol	It has antioxidant properties and anti-inflammatory effect. Affects cellular immunity. Neutralizes the aggressive effects of the environment.
Ledocaine	The anesthetic drug ensures painless administration of the biogel.
Phosphate buffer	Prevents implant rejection.

Juvederm HYDRATE

This is a biorevitalizant solution that is used to increase skin hydration and elasticity. This result is achieved after repeated injection of the drug into the area of the surface layer of the dermis and dermo-epidermal zone. Due to the considerable molecular weight of hyaluronic acid in the preparation (2.5x10 Dalton), the substance can remain in the skin for a long time, which means that the effectiveness of the effect will be higher. This Juvederm contains 13.5 mg of hyaluronic acid gel, which is 1000 times more than what is found in the epidermis, and 200 times more than what is present in the dermis layer. The drug also contains mannitol 9 mg, which helps hyaluronic acid remain in tissues longer. Mannitol actively acts against free radicals, especially hydroxyl radicals - OH, inactivating them. The drug is available in a 1 ml syringe.

All preparations of the Juvederm group include a phosphate buffer pH 7.2 to a final weight of 1 g, and this, in combination with osmolarity data, guarantees comfort of use, safety and excellent compatibility with body tissues.

What is it intended for?

Juvederm Ultra Smile, which has mixed reviews, is intended for lip augmentation. The filler also eliminates asymmetry and corrects drooping corners of the mouth.

It gives freshness and youth to the skin. However, this type of filler is not used to eliminate wrinkles around the eyes. The product forms a significant area of edema in the surrounding tissues.

Juvederm family of fillers

Regarding the concentration of hyaluronic acid, several types of this drug are produced.

Juvederm Ultra 3 The drug is suitable for lip augmentation, smoothing wrinkles of medium depth in the mouth area, nasolabial folds.

Juvederm Ultra 4 Gel with a fairly high degree of viscosity, which is usually recommended for women over 40 years of age. At this age, wrinkles become more pronounced and deeper. Also ideal for correcting sagging face shapes.

Juvederm Ultra XC The latest development from ALLERGAN, which they are very proud of. Very viscous, it is able to stay under the skin for more than 1 year. It is also used to correct the shape of the chin and cheekbones.

Drug safety

produces its drug like a transparent gel, packaged in disposable syringes. Which only confirms its safety. Manufacturers thoroughly purify all biopolymers. In addition, hyaluronic acid is made artificially.

The drug is created under sterile laboratory conditions. It has a high level of compatibility with human cells, as well as a fairly low likelihood of allergic reactions. Side risks are almost minimal if patients do not have health problems. But taking blood thinning medications or vitamin E at the same time can lead to bruising and swelling.

Operating principle

Hyaluronic acid, penetrating into the deep layers of the skin, significantly moisturizes and tightens it. The face is smoothed out and acquires an even color. The synthesis of natural hyaluronic acid in cells is launched. Blood circulation and oxygen saturation of the skin improves. Pores narrow, folds become less noticeable, the oval of the face is tightened, small wrinkles disappear.

Advantages over other fillers

The Juvederm line has a number of advantages. It has a more plastic consistency and an even distribution of the substance itself in the skin tissues. After using this drug, lumps and bumps rarely occur. The area being corrected is filled equally.

Other positive qualities:

the volume remains for about a year;
the product is administered easily and painlessly;
contains an anesthetic;
optimal concentration of hyaluronate;
has a short recovery period;
The drug is hypoallergenic.

Therefore, many clinics and beauty salons choose Juvederm.

In addition to Juvederm ultra smile, there is also another drug to increase lip volume - Princess filler. Both products contain hyaluronic acid of similar origin. But still, Juvederm can cause allergies due to the presence of mannitol in it. However, icecaine makes the injections painless. And when introducing Princesses, additional treatment with anesthetic cream is necessary.

Other fillers:

Volift	Gives additional volume to the lips, removes nasolabial furrows. Makes cheekbones more pronounced. Its composition is the same as all Juvederm products. It differs only in the amount of active substance. Its validity period lasts about 15 months.
Volume	It replenishes the volume of soft tissue in problem areas. The drug is highly dense, forms a frame under the skin, and perfectly retains moisture. It is used not only for lifting lips, but also cheekbones and neck. The effect lasts approximately 12–18 months.
Volbella	Creates natural contours of the mouth. They fill in the small wrinkles around it. This drug moisturizes and increases the elasticity of the epidermis. The product does not have good density. Therefore, to create volume, injections are not given into the lips themselves.
Rack	This French drug also contains hyaluron acid, lidocaine, and mannitol. Also contains sorbitol. It is much cheaper than Juvederm. It retains its effect for about a year. But according to consumers, its effect lasts no more than 8 months.

Composition of Juvederm

The filler consists of hyaluronic acid, a substance that is already produced by our body. Therefore, after the injection there is no pathological reaction of the immune system. It is important to know that acid is not only a cosmetic product, but also a real drug used for various diseases.

Indications for use

The main purpose of using fillers is to fill tissue volumes. Therefore, the drug can be used for:

increasing lip volume;
filling deep and fine wrinkles;
elimination of crow's feet in the corners of the eyes;
formation of volume of the cheeks, contouring of the cheekbones, temporal region;
adjustments to the oval of the face;
elimination of defects in the shape of the cheeks and chin.

Juvederm contains hyaluronic acid of non-animal origin. This component has properties significantly superior to fillers containing animal protein, namely, it has better density and viscosity, is completely safe, and does not provoke inflammatory or allergic reactions. The injections are easily tolerated, do not cause pain, and give a good aesthetic result, which lasts for a long time (about 8-12 months).

Classification of the drug

Of course, the same composition cannot be used equally successfully for different purposes. Therefore, Juvederm has several composition options, and the cosmetologist chooses independently which drug to administer to the patient, based on their wishes for the result and the area of administration:

for lip augmentation:
"Juvederm HV";
"Juvederm 30 HV";
"Juvederm 24";
"Juvederm Ultra 4";
"Juvederm Ultra Smile" (with lidocaine).

to fill wrinkles:
"Juvederm 24 HV";
"Juvederm 24 HV";
"Juvederm Ultra 3" (with lidocaine).

for contour plastic surgery:
"Juvederm Ultra 3" (with lidocaine).

to deeply moisturize the skin and give it elasticity:

The numerical and letter indicator next to the name indicates the degree of viscosity of the drug, and the prefix “Ultra” indicates the presence of an anesthetic in the composition, which will make the process of administering the drug painless.

An experienced cosmetologist knows that choosing between different versions of the drug is a very serious matter. If one drug perfectly smooths out wrinkles and makes the skin smooth and even, then when used as a lip plumper it will give an unnatural and unsightly result. Therefore, it is worth understanding that responsibility for the result lies with the cosmetologist and his experience in choosing drugs. But the patient also needs to know about the features of the drug in order to control the process of “beautification” of the face.

Contraindications

In order to improve this or another area of your face with the help of Juvederm, you need to remember about contraindications that can complicate the procedure:

First of all, this is pregnancy and lactation, which are an obstacle to almost any procedure.
Secondly, injections should not be given in case of severe somatic pathologies, especially in the acute stage. When visiting a cosmetologist’s office, a person should feel good and not experience any discomfort or pain.
And finally, there are local contraindications - if a person has inflammation or a sign of any dermatological disease at the site of the intended injection. In other cases, if in doubt, it is better to consult your doctor.

You can take a course of rejuvenation with the help of Juvederm preparations by becoming a client of our cosmetology clinic in St. Petersburg. The use of original fillers, extensive experience and high qualifications of our cosmetologists guarantee an impeccable result of the procedure, and also completely eliminate the occurrence of any negative consequences.

Question answer

Question: How long do the results of injections last? Answer: The effect of the procedure lasts for an average of 8-12 months. With lip augmentation, the period is slightly shorter, about 6 months.
Question: Is it possible to remove the gel after injection if you are not satisfied with the result?
Answer: You can correct the result or remove Juvederm filler completely by injecting it with a special drug based on hyaluronidase.
Question: After injecting the Juvederm gel into the lips, in the evening I noticed swelling and bruising at the injection site, what should I do? Answer: This is a normal reaction of the body to the injection; after a couple of days, the appearance of the lips will return to normal. Otherwise, contact the cosmetologist who performed the injection or a therapist.
Question: Are there any restrictions after Juvederm injections? Answer: After the procedure, you cannot visit the pool, sauna, solarium, or be under direct exposure to sunlight for 7 days. The first few days there may be itching and redness in the treated area, but these consequences quickly disappear if you do not touch or injure the skin in the injection area.
Question: Which filler is best to restore facial volume? Answer: Juvederm Voluma injections have a long-lasting and pronounced effect, allowing you to eliminate even the most significant loss of facial volume.

Indications for use

Juvederm Ultra Smile is mainly aimed at adding volume to the lips. It is suitable for the skin of women of any age, which is confirmed by multiple reviews of both mature and young representatives of the fair sex.

It is also used if:

the corners of the mouth are lowered;
facial features are asymmetrical;
lips have an unclear contour and lack volume;
there are folds, wrinkles near the mouth;
The product also corrects creases in the area of the cheeks, cheekbones, and chin.

Procedure areas

Injections in the face

The most popular area for injecting hyaluronic acid preparations is the face. You can correct either a targeted area - for example, the area around the eyes, or heal your face completely. For biorevitalization of the face, we use not only Hydrate, but also Juvederm Volite, Belotero Hydro, Neauvia, Profhilo and other drugs. Your doctor will recommend the most suitable composition for you.

Injections into the neck and décolleté area

Juvederm Hydrate for biorevitalization is often used not only to maintain healthy facial skin, but also to rejuvenate the skin of the neck and front of the chest. This procedure is especially relevant before the start of the summer season, when you really want to wear sundresses and blouses with cutouts. Injections of the drug into the neck and décolleté provide a slight lifting effect. The skin thickens and becomes more elastic. This is a great way to prevent age-related changes.

Injections into the arms

We use different methods to rejuvenate the hands. This is layer-by-layer laser rejuvenation by Fotona, radio wave needle lifting by Secret, administration of the drug Profhilo and, of course, biorevitalization.

The Hydrate composition allows you to even out the color of the skin, reduce the number of age spots, remove redness, and make blood vessels less noticeable. Biorevitalization of the hands provides good support for the skin of the hands during the cold season. Dryness, flaking, and a feeling of tightness go away.

Biorevitalization of hands is an excellent method of preventing photoaging. The drug moisturizes the skin and increases its protective functions.

These organizations must be licensed to carry out such procedures.

Only an experienced, certified cosmetologist should perform such injections. It is strictly forbidden to administer anti-aging drugs yourself at home. If the substance is not distributed correctly under the skin, it can cause various infections.

Description of the procedure with Juvederm Ultra Smile

Injections are made into the mucous membrane of the lip or subcutaneous area. Specially designed plastic needles are used for the procedure. They are introduced to the required depth. Usually, the cosmetologist himself selects the technique depending on certain goals and individual characteristics of the client.

Preparation

Before the procedure, your body must be prepared. Also, the doctor must know everything about the patient’s health, because there are restrictions on the use of the drug Juvederm.

2 weeks before injections you should stop taking medications:

antimicrobial;
anticoagulants;
antibiotics;
vitamins;
fraxiparine;
hyparin.

It is also unacceptable to use scrubs and peels. You should refrain from visiting the solarium, physical activity, and sports. Women are strictly prohibited from having beauty injections during their menstrual cycles. The day before the procedure, you should not smoke, eat salty, spicy, fatty foods, drink alcoholic beverages, strong tea, or coffee.

Administration techniques

Juvederm Ultra Smile, which has controversial reviews, is used strictly according to the instructions.

Filler is administered in several ways:

Fan method. This is one of the linear types. The needle enters completely into the dermis. The drug is delivered through continuous withdrawal of the instrument. Several injections are also carried out inside the skin at an angle (no more than 45°). As a result, the subcutaneous pattern should be like a fan.
Grid technique . The principle of execution is the same as the previous method. But they carry out several punctures. Through them, the channels of the subcutaneous filler are perpendicular.
Point by point diagram. A series of injections are performed. The substance is administered in small portions through punctures. Each of them is placed close to each other.

Stages

First, a preliminary consultation is carried out with a cosmetologist. The objectives and the amount of substance needed for rejuvenation are determined, as well as the expected site of invasion. A test for an allergic reaction is done in advance.

The procedure goes as follows:

The patient is placed in a chair.
Makeup is removed from the face. The work area is thoroughly treated with a disinfectant, such as Chlorhexidine.
For people with a low pain threshold, the skin is lubricated with an additional anesthetic cream, although the drug contains icecaine. This is done to minimize discomfort during the procedure.
After 30 min. residues are removed with an antiseptic.
Next, open the package and check the expiration date of the gel. The bottle must be intact. The filler should absolutely not be reused or sterilized.
The needle is then placed on the syringe.
The implant is inserted very slowly, following the scheme.
The correction area is treated with an antiseptic.
Then perform a light massage so that the gel is distributed evenly.
The procedure itself lasts about 20 minutes.
The client remains in the chair for another 15–30 minutes, and then the doctor allows him to get up and he returns to his normal life.

Healing period

After the implantation procedure, the first few days you may experience swelling and swelling in the affected areas.

To quickly restore the skin, you must follow certain rules:

do not use decorative cosmetics for 12 hours immediately after injections;
You should not stay outside for a long time if the temperature is sub-zero or the sun is shining brightly;
you cannot sunbathe or visit a solarium;
you must avoid going to the bathhouse, sauna, or swimming pool for 14 days;
It is contraindicated to engage in sports and active physical activity;
Do not touch the correction area with your hands for the first two days;
It is unacceptable to drink alcohol, strong coffee, tea;
You can use anti-inflammatory compresses and ointments, but only with the permission of a doctor.

Juvederm Ultra Smile - interview with a doctor about Juvederm

Procedure code	Name of procedure	price, rub.
A11.01.013.012	Juvederm Ultra Smile (0.55 ml). To correct the shape and volume of lips	11900

Cosmetologist and dermatovenerologist Alina Kalashnikova will talk today about the procedure for lip correction using Juvederm Juvederm Ultra Smile.

Question: Please tell us first, in general terms, about the lip correction procedure and Juvederm Ultra Smile in particular.

Answer: Once upon a time, in the 90s, silicone was injected to enlarge lips. This caused complications, but the Cosmetology industry does not stand still. Silicone has been replaced by hyaluronic acid. The procedure for lip correction with hyaluronic acid has become safe, because the drug is absorbable and, moreover, if all the doctor’s recommendations are followed, it does not cause complications. Before the lip augmentation procedure, you need to choose the right drug for yourself. One of my favorite drugs is Juvederm Ultra Smile from Allergan. From my experience and the results of patients, I see that the components that make up Juvederm Ultra Smile are selected in such a way that the result lasts for almost a year, does not require correction, and does not leave lumps.

Question: What components are included in the Juvederm Ultra Smile gel?

Answer: First of all, it is hyaluronic acid. It is this that moisturizes the tissue, which manifests itself in the very first days after the procedure and forms the volume of the lips. The filler component hyaluronic acid is not of animal origin, is not an allergen and, as a result, the reason for the body’s rejection of the drug. Secondly, the anesthetic is lidocaine hydrochloride. With its help, the drug is administered without pain, the patient is not nervous or distracted. Thirdly, mannitol is a phosphate booster, which ensures that the results of the procedure are preserved for a long time, and also attracts liquid molecules.

Question: In what cases is Juvederm Ultra Smile filler prescribed?

Answer: This is an injectable implant, used to smooth out wrinkles or folds around the mouth and to enlarge lips in the absence of the desired volume or asymmetry. Juvederm Ultra Smile gel is ideal for correcting cheeks, chin and cheekbones.

Question: How many treatments with Juvederm Ultra Smile filler are needed to achieve the desired result?

Answer: In situations not related to lip correction, up to three procedures may be needed to achieve the desired result, but for lip augmentation, one procedure is sufficient.

Question: At what age can Juvederm Ultra Smile be used?

Answer: Prescription of the drug is possible from 18 years of age.

Question: Are there any contraindications for using Juvederm Ultra Smile?

Answer: There are several main contraindications: 1. Juvederm Ultra Smile cannot be injected if there is another filler, such as silicone, in the correction area. 2. Autoimmune diseases are when the human immune system confuses a normal cell with a diseased one. 3. Individual intolerance to any components of the drug, which can cause allergies. 4. Inflammatory processes (sore throat or rheumatism) 5 Taking medications that affect blood clotting, which can cause bruising during the procedure with Juvederm Ultra Smile gel 6. Oncology 7. Pregnancy and breastfeeding 8. Critical days in women, as the likelihood of bruising increases and the pain intensifies.

Question: How is the lip augmentation procedure performed using Juvederm Ultra Smile filler?

Answer: First of all, the patient must prepare himself, namely: 1. Do not drink alcohol a couple of days before the procedure 2. Do not go to the solarium for a week before the procedure. 3. On the day of the procedure you should not smoke; it is better to quit altogether. Drinking coffee and strong tea is also not worth it. 4. Do not eat salty food for three days. Now to the procedure itself: 1. Makeup removal. Decorative cosmetics are removed with special disinfectants, such as chlorhexidine. In individual cases, you can apply an anesthetic gel. 2. Checking the tightness and shelf life of the filler. 3. The drug is administered very slowly, according to the chosen pattern (fan, point by point or grid), based on the lip correction plan. Slow injection avoids pain, and the filler itself is evenly distributed in the selected area. 4. After completing the administration of the drug, treatment with an antiseptic is performed. 5. At the end of the injections, the doctor very lightly and superficially massages the lip correction area and applies an anti-inflammatory gel, for example “Bodyaga-gel”.

Question: How long does the lip augmentation procedure with Juvederm Ultra Smile filler take?

Answer: The duration of the procedure is about half an hour.

Question: Please tell us about the rehabilitation period after lip augmentation with Juvederm Ultra Smile?

Answer: For the first couple of days, the body treats the gel as a foreign body. Puffiness and swelling of the lips are possible. If you follow the doctor's recommendations, the discomfort will quickly pass. And so, what needs to be done after the procedure: 1. You cannot touch your lips with your hands, it is advisable to refrain from harsh laughter and passionate kisses. 2. Refrain from hot drinks and alcohol 3. In the next 2 weeks, exclude sports training, solarium and sauna 4. Direct sunlight is contraindicated, so lip augmentation with Juvederm Ultra Smile is best done after vacation. 5. Sudden temperature changes will negatively affect the rehabilitation process, so postpone trips to places where temperature changes are more than 15 degrees relative to your place of residence.

Question: How long will the results from Juvederm Ultra Smile filler last?

Answer: When using filler to correct lips, much depends on the density of the composition. The result lasts up to 9 months. Using Juvederm Ultra Smile to smooth out wrinkles or in the area of the nasolabial triangle will allow you to maintain the results for up to a year. These terms are arbitrary, because, I emphasize once again, it is necessary to strictly adhere to the doctor’s recommendations after the procedure.

Juvederm VOLIFT with Lidocaine is a high-quality corrector that helps eliminate wrinkles of varying depths and replenish the missing volume of soft tissues. Cosmetologists and patients note a pronounced, prolonged result.

Duration of preservation of the effect of the procedure

The presence of a special stabilizer in the composition - a phosphate buffer - allows you to prolong the result as much as possible. Thus, the effect of implantation can last up to 15-18 months. The specific duration of preservation of the result depends on the speed of metabolic processes in the patient’s body. In order to maintain the result, after metabolizing the filler, it is necessary to repeat the procedure. Juvederm VOLIFT with Lidocaine filler is completely biodegradable. After the expiration date, the drug is eliminated from the body.

How to avoid fake injections?

High-quality fillers contain safe components. Such compositions have been tested and are approved for use. But it is difficult for an ordinary person to distinguish an original from a fake. Since other manufacturers imitate syringes, packaging, logos. And the contents may consist of chemicals, silicones, preservatives.

These products may cause:

severe swelling;
poisoning of the body;
sharp pain;
the appearance of scars that do not heal.

Therefore, you should not buy such products yourself. It is best to go to a clinic that has a good reputation, where they use high-quality drugs.

Where to buy original filler?

Fillers are produced in two syringes. Each of them has a volume of 0.55 ml. The cost of packaging is approximately RUB 7,500.00. Such implants are in wide demand, so there is also a risk of purchasing a fake. Real Juvederm is not sold at a low price or at a huge discount.

It is preferable to buy products from Juvederm smile manufacturers on the official website. However, they must provide a medical education diploma. Also, a certified cosmetic product can be purchased through distributors. All supporting documents are attached.

These are the official sellers:

Pharmakomplekt;
AdonisAesthetic;
Archi Med;

Detailed filler review

The drug Juvederm Volift (juvederm volift) was created using VYCROSS technology, which allows you to achieve a more uniform and low-molecular gel structure.

Buyanov Sergey Yurievich (Expert Doctor):
Low molecular weight, that is, density, as well as complete homogeneity, allow the gel to spread evenly at the injection site, without the formation of clots, compacted or sparse areas. In other words, the product envelops skin cells evenly, like bread and butter.

One syringe contains 1 ml of filler. The gel-like mass fills deep wrinkles, including those in the nasolacrimal groove, and corrects the lips and chin.

A new product, Juvederm Retouch, has also been developed - thanks to which it is possible to refine the filling of soft tissues after the first procedure and maintain the initial effect.

Injections with contouring gels are considered the most effective; they are used as an alternative to surgery and hardware methods.

Compound

The drug includes three main components.

Low molecular weight hyaluronic acid (occupies up to 90% of the total volume). Minimum weight promotes uniform and active distribution of the substance in the deep layers of the skin.
The phosphate buffer stabilizes hyaluronic acid, protecting the molecules from rapid decay;
Anesthetic - lidocaine . Allows you to do without additional painkiller injections.

The synthesis of hyaluronic acid is carried out in laboratories using a special biocompatible method to prevent the occurrence of allergic reactions.

Manufacturer

Juvederm Volift filler is produced by Allergan in the USA, which produces a whole range of cosmetic products.

This company is considered one of the best in its field. And it was she who stood at the origins of the Botox procedure.

Preparations from the Juvederm line have proven themselves to be a safe means of non-surgical rejuvenation. And the Volift filler itself goes well with other products in this series.

Indications for use

Transverse grooves in the forehead and bridge of the nose.
Expression wrinkles near the eyes.
Deep nasolacrimal cavity.
Wrinkles on the neck.
Skin dehydration.
Lack of soft tissue in the cheeks, cheekbones, chin.

Filler is also used to enlarge lips and correct their shape. At the same time, lips are moisturized and become brighter.

For correction after the primary procedure, the drug Volift Retach was developed. It has a smaller volume (0.55 ml), which avoids wasteful costs during repeated use.

Efficiency

This filler reduces the risk of pigment spots forming. The result is noticeable immediately after the cosmetic procedure.

Particularly suitable for women with a thin build.

It has a long validity period of 15 months, and complete removal of the gel from the deep layers of the skin occurs after 2 years.

Advantages

The positive qualities of the product, according to cosmetologists and other specialists, include a non-allergenic composition that is close to a natural skin moisturizer.

The special texture of the drug promotes uniform distribution of the active substance and a long-lasting pronounced effect.

The phosphate buffer included in the composition significantly reduces swelling. And the presence of lidocaine helps to carry out an absolutely painless procedure without resorting to additional injections.

A contouring gel based on low molecular weight hyaluronic acid is easily absorbed by the skin and is completely broken down without harm to health.

Precautions when administering Juvederm Ultra 3

The drug is not recommended for use on the skin of the eyelids. The gel should only be administered by a specialist in the field of cosmetology, which eliminates the possibility of damage to blood vessels and the development of subsequent complications. You should not resort to massive facial correction.

It is imperative to follow the recommendations for storing Juvederm Ultra. It should not be exposed to temperatures less than +2 and more than +25°C.

The price varies and depends on the volume of the drug used. The effect of the procedure lasts for 18 months, while with Botox correction it lasts only for six months. Accordingly, this price for Juvederm Ultra 3 is quite acceptable.

The use of the drug is absolutely safe, which is due to the high class of purification from the oxidizing agent added to the hyaluronic acid solution. The filler returns the natural beauty of the skin, moisturizing it and restoring it at the cellular level.
