Juvederm is an injectable filler that is composed of hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the body. Therefore no skin testing is required. It is used to soften wrinkles and folds associated with the face. The most common areas treated are the lips, nasolabial folds also known as smile lines, marionette lines and smoker lines. However it is also implanted in the lower eyelid to create fullness.
