Juvederm is the latest, most advanced FDA approved soft issue filler.  Made by the makers of Botox®, Juvederm consists of hyaluronic acid (a substance within all of our skin) and is prepared in a manner that gives it an extremely smooth consistency.  The smoother properties of Juvederm make it easier to administer and more effective for filling creases and plumping lips.  It also contains the highest percentage of cross-linked material, making it last for six months and longer.  The end result for our clients can be summed up by the following testimonial of a client of Dr. Ahn:

"It's night and day better compared to Restylane.  It feels more natural, is smoother, and did not hurt at all.  I just had a little redness and swelling that day.  I love it and won't use any other filler in the future."    -M.E., Nurse Practitioner

As a clinical trial participant, Dr. Ahn was asked by the makers of Juvederm to report his experience and thoseof his clients with the new filler.  Dr. Ahn feels that Juvederm is a smoother, more natural feeling filler and expects to use it as his primary choice of filling lips, folds, and creases.

Because he was an investigator in the trial, Dr. Ahn is now able to offer Juvederm to his clients well before most other physicians.  Whereas Dr. Ahn can provide Juvederm now, others will not be able to do so until its release in early 2007.
