Juvederm, Voluma, and Restylane, are similar injectable dermal fillers offered by two leading pharmaceutical companies, Allergan and Medicis.
They are used as fillers for the temporary reduction of deep facial wrinkles and folds, and the additional of volume and fullness to the skin. These clear injectable gels are made of hyaluronic acid, the most commonly used dermal filler, and is a substance that is naturally found in the body. When injected into the skin, these fillers act like an inflated cushion to restore volume, structure, and support the facial tissue.
The fillers also attract water molecules closer to the skin’s surface, giving the skin a softer and suppler appearance.
