Juvederm HYDRATE
This is a biorevitalizant solution that is used to increase skin hydration and elasticity. This result is achieved after repeated injection of the drug into the area of the surface layer of the dermis and dermo-epidermal zone. Due to the considerable molecular weight of hyaluronic acid in the preparation (2.5x10 Dalton), the substance can remain in the skin for a long time, which means that the effectiveness of the effect will be higher. This Juvederm contains 13.5 mg of hyaluronic acid gel, which is 1000 times more than what is found in the epidermis, and 200 times more than what is present in the dermis layer. The drug also contains mannitol 9 mg, which helps hyaluronic acid remain in tissues longer. Mannitol actively acts against free radicals, especially hydroxyl radicals - OH, inactivating them. The drug is available in a 1 ml syringe.
All preparations of the Juvederm group include a phosphate buffer pH 7.2 to a final weight of 1 g, and this, in combination with osmolarity data, guarantees comfort of use, safety and excellent compatibility with body tissues.
Corrector composition
The filler consists of only three basic components, each of which ensures the effectiveness of the final result. So, it contains:
- hyaluronic acid (has minimal weight, due to which it spreads in the deep and middle layers of the skin as quickly and evenly as possible);
- lidocaine (is a powerful anesthesia, thanks to its presence no additional injections are required, the effect occurs much faster, in addition, it is better expressed);
- phosphate buffer (used to stabilize hyaluronic acid and also protect it from degradation processes).
The price for 1 ml of product is 17 thousand rubles. This is an approximate cost and is typical for the capital region of Russia. Real reviews about this product indicate that the indicated amount is justified.
You have to pay for beauty - the price of 1 ml of Juvederm Volift is about 17,000 rubles.
