Dermal fillers, like Juvederm, are made of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body.
Hyaluronic acid (HA), also referred to as hyaluronan, is a naturally produced substance by the body. It’s a gooey substance that is mostly found in your skin, eyes, and connective tissue. It’s the substance that helps your tissues retain water and remain moist and lubricated. HA has several other uses as treatments for the body.
Dermal fillers, like Juvederm fillers, are made of HA
Juvederm fillers are some of the most popular dermal fillers on the market. Made by Allergan (the makers of Botox), Juvederm is a hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler treatment that was FDA-approved for cosmetic use in 2006, and more than 2.4 million HA treatments were done in 2016 alone. When injected into the skin, dermal fillers like Juvederm add plumpness and volume to the skin and help to reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles.
Lips can also be plumped with Juvederm lip filler. Many ask about Restylane vs. Juvederm, considering they are both HA fillers. Work with your injector to determine whether Restylane vs. Juvederm is the best option for your needs.
HA is used in supplements
As we age, HA decreases in our bodies. Supplements with HA in them might help to provide your body with additional amounts of HA that can be used by your body’s skin.
Hyaluronic acid is used in Serums for wrinkles and redness reduction
Serums and creams that HA are incorporate into can help skin look firmer, reduce redness, reduce dermatitis, and reduce wrinkles.
