The fashion for plump lips arose many millennia before the beginning of our era. Of course, it was impossible to radically change the volume at that time. Therefore, the ancient Egyptians, imitating the king Nefertiti, used red paint to outline the contour of the lips and make them visually fuller. French women did the same in the 13th century. A modern woman is able to change the shape and volume at her discretion, Juvederm lip fillers help her in this.
Injectable implants
The human body contains approximately 15 g of hyaluronic acid. It is part of the nervous, epithelial and connective tissue. It is also found in saliva and other body fluids. In addition, it is an essential component for articular cartilage, responsible for its resistance to compression.
Hyaluronate is also part of the skin. It plays a huge role in hydrodynamics and tissue regeneration. With a lack of hyaluronic acid, the skin becomes wrinkled and less elastic. Its microrelief is deteriorating.
Injectable implants based on hyaluronic acid can restore skin elasticity and smooth out wrinkles. And fillers such as Juvederm for lips can change the shape and volume. At the same time, such an improvement in appearance is completely safe for the patient's he alth.
The history of injectable implants begins at the end of the 19th century. Doctors of that time used vaseline and paraffin. In the early 20th century, they were already experimenting with fillers based on vegetable and mineral oils. Also beeswax. Then came the turn of liquid silicone. A few years later, collagen-based preparations came into fashion. And also gelatin.
In modern cosmetology, fillers based on hyaluronic acid are used. They are considered the safest and most effective. The first drug was named Hylaform. It was purified hyaluronate, which was extracted from a cock's comb. Unfortunately, such drugs were often rejected by the human body and provoked the development of a strong allergic reaction.
Fillers "Juvederm" for lips and other types of contour plastics contain only hyaluronate of non-animal origin. It is a product of microbial synthesis. Once obtained, the substance is specially purified and used to produce injectable implants of various densities.
