A key ingredient known for its hydrating properties is hyaluronic acid. It has been in topical skincare for ages. This smart little ingredient basically tricks the skin into thinking that it needs moisture in the area it is applied (or in this case, injected gently under the top layer of skin). The body rushes water to that area and eliminates a dehydrated, sallow, saggy skin. The dermal filler in Juvederm, comes from the smooth gel-like substance injected, with its Hyaluronic Acid, and uses your natural body elements to hydrate and tone up the skin. As age takes its toll on our skin, we are less hydrated and need an extra boost from outside sources.
