One of the most popular means of non-surgical facial rejuvenation is face contouring. It is based on special gel injections that help to smooth wrinkles, tighten the oval of the face, change the contour of cheekbones, lips, eyebrows, or cheeks due to their volume.
Modern fillers contain hyaluronic acid, a substance that can retain water in the cells. Under the influence of external factors like the sun, temperature changes, and the environment, water leaves the skin, leading to aging. Cosmetologists began using products based on hyaluronic acid to restore skin tone and make it elastic in the 1970s, meaning such fillers can be called time-tested.
Juvederm fillers are one of the most reliable products used in modern cosmetology today. They are produced by the American company Allergan and have an impeccable reputation. Juvederm fillers include non-animal-based low-molecular hyaluronic acid, produced by bacterial fermentation of a natural strain of Streptococcus equi, which is not dangerous for humans. The filler also includes lidocaine, a local anesthetic.
Juvederm products have been repeatedly tested and approved by the FDA, the U.S. medical organization that oversees quality control of medical products.
