PRESENTATION 
_Juvéderm_
_® _
_VOLUMA_
_® _
injectable gel implant is a sterile pyrogen-free physiological
solution of cross-linked 
hyaluronic acid which is not of animal origin. The gel is presented
in a graduated pre-filled and disposable 
syringe. 

USES 
_ACTIONS _
_Juvéderm_
_® _
_VOLUMA_
_®_
 consists of hyaluronic acid (HA) a
polysaccharide naturally present in the body at 
different concentrations, especially in the skin, muscular system and
skeleton. 
The concentration of HA in the skin naturally decreases with age. The
result is a decrease in the skin’s 
elasticity and ability to hold water. This renders the dermis less
voluminous and increases the tendency of 
the skin to form wrinkles. 
In its natural unmodified state, implanted exogenous HA rapidly
degrades quickly _in situ_. It is cross-linked 
to enhance _in vivo_ persistence when used as dermal filler.
By chemically cross-linking molecules of HA 
more stable macromolecules are formed which have the
same biocompatibility as native HA. 
Because HA cannot penetrate into the skin when applied topically HA
derivatives are injected into the 
dermal tissue to provide a space-occupying viscoelastic matrix of
the connective tissue.
