Higher viscosity and potent concentration of hyaluronic acid produce longer effects. Some as long as 12 months. Some products contain lidocaine to prevent discomfort during injection.

Juvederm binds with water from the body to give the volumizing effect. The gel particles disintegrate gradually and it absorbs water to replace it. Complete disintegration occurs over a period of time and it is unnoticeable. Less concentrated gel attracts more water. This provides a longer lasting result. The ingredient is sourced from non-animal products which decrease the risks of allergies from common foods such as dairy products, chicken and beef.
