The time has come and you’ve started considering different anti-aging procedures. After thorough research, you’ve come to a conclusion that the best wrinkle treatment is a treatment with a dermal filler Juvederm. The question you might be asking yourself now is: is it safe for me to use?

Therefore, if you’re looking for something to enhance your cheeks and cheekbones, remove the lines running from the corners of the nose to your mouth known as nasolabial folds, improve contour of your face or enhance the look of your lips, then you’ve chosen the right product. But.. is Juvederm safe for you to use?

It took a while to determine whether they were safe to use and only certain brands received FDA approval. One of those brands is Juvederm: it was approved by the FDA in June 2006.

Third, do not use Juvederm if you have a history of allergies to Gram-positive bacterial proteins.

The best thing to do is consult your doctor prior to treatment with Juvederm or in fact, any other dermal filler, just to fully understand what exactly the procedure involves and the kind of side effects you should expect.

Furthermore, don’t forget to check the statistics: according to it, a little more than three-quarters of the patients who were treated with Juvederm returned for a repeat treatment. This is a pretty high satisfaction rate!

To get the best results and minimal side effects, dermal fillers Juvederm must be administered strictly by a licensed medical professionals with a good reputation, excellent knowledge of facial anatomy and vast experience.
