JUVÉDERM®
DIFFERENCE

The JUVÉDERM® Collection of Fillers is specifically designed with different gel properties to create a diverse range of long-lasting products that meet a variety of patient and injector needs.1-8

RHEOLOGY AND FILLER PERFORMANCE

Why is Rheology important

Rheology of fillers helps us understand the shear stress, stretching, compression, and resistance they undergo when injected, which contribute to the overall performance and longevity in specific areas of the face.7, 9, 10

Rheological properties of each filler may help:7, 9

  • Contribute to Filler Performance
  • Combat Filler Deformation
  • Resist Dynamic Forces in Different Areas of the Face
  • Optimize Results
  • Improve Duration

Gel properties assessed in vitro. Clinical significance has not been established.

TAILORED GEL PROPERTIES WORK TOGETHER TO CREATE SMOOTH, UNIQUELY DESIGNED FILLERS1-7

Each product has a unique level of firmness, cohesivity, water affinity and HA concentration.7

Resistance to shearing/twisting; determines gel firmness7
Resistance to compression; contributes to gel spreadability7
The measure of a gel's ability to absorb water, which affects the gel's expandability or plumping7
The amount of hyaluronic acid (HA) in a gel7

JUVÉDERM® Collection of Fillers Indications and Important Safety Information

CONTRAINDICATIONS

These products should not be used in patients who have severe allergies, marked by a history of anaphylaxis or history or presence of multiple severe allergies, and should not be used in patients with a history of allergies to Gram-positive bacterial proteins or lidocaine contained in these products

WARNINGS

  • Do not inject into blood vessels. Introduction of these products into the vasculature may lead to embolization, occlusion of the vessels, ischemia, or infarction. Take extra care when injecting soft tissue fillers; for example, after insertion of the needle and just before injection, the plunger rod can be withdrawn slightly to aspirate and verify the needle is not intravascular, inject the product slowly, and apply the least amount of pressure necessary. Rare, but serious, adverse events associated with the intravascular injection of soft tissue fillers in the face have been reported and include temporary or permanent vision impairment, blindness, cerebral ischemia or cerebral hemorrhage leading to stroke, skin necrosis, and damage to underlying facial structures. Immediately stop the injection if a patient exhibits any of the following symptoms: changes in vision, signs of a stroke, blanching of the skin, unusual pain during or shortly after the procedure. Patients should receive prompt medical attention and, possibly, evaluation by an appropriate healthcare professional specialist should an intravascular injection occur
  • Product use at specific sites in which an active inflammatory process (skin eruptions such as cysts, pimples, rashes, or hives) or infection is present should be deferred until the underlying process has been controlled

  • Patients who experience skin injury near the site of implantation may be at a higher risk for adverse events
  • If laser treatment, chemical peel, or any other procedure based on active dermal response is considered after treatment, or before skin has healed from a procedure prior to treatment, there is a possible risk of eliciting an inflammatory reaction at the injection site
