Juvederm 101

Juvederm is a hyaluronic acid family of fillers and among the most studied and safe options available. These fillers effectively treat volume loss, wrinkles, and lip enhancement while lifting certain facial areas and defining facial contours. Different Juvederm products are specifically designed and FDA-cleared for different areas and purposes on the face. Always choose a practitioner who is highly trained—someone who not only understands the product but has comprehensive knowledge of facial anatomy, proper injection depth, and correct filler placement. In expert hands, fillers can enhance facial appearance and beauty. In less trained hands, they can lead to complications, distorting facial features and overall appearance.

While common side effects like bruising, redness, swelling, pain, and facial contour abnormalities are well-known, you should also be aware of serious complications. These include blood vessel blockage leading to skin tissue death (necrosis), blindness, and severe facial infections requiring hospitalization, IV antibiotics, and potentially permanent disfigurement. Getting filler requires in-depth understanding of proper product use, placement techniques, and advanced practitioner training to avoid adverse outcomes. Choosing less trained or untrained practitioners can be dangerous and lead to blindness, skin tissue death, and permanent facial disfigurement. Choose your practitioner wisely to protect your facial beauty and avoid serious complications. Don’t select based on the cheapest price or best Groupon deal—invest in the best injector to protect your face from complications and disfigurement.
