Are Dermal Fillers Suitable for Vegans?

Are Dermal Fillers Suitable for Vegans? There are many types of dermal fillers available on the market and surprisingly no restrictions on importing product from overseas.

These injectables are certainly not all the same, so do check what product your provider is using. I personally use the products from the Juvederm range, made by Allergan, which are highly reputable.

Juvederm products are made of a synthetic form of hyaluronic acid created from bacterial fermentation called Non-Animal Stabilised Hyaluronic Acid. The ingredients are completely vegan (non-animal based).

It is important to note that Juvederm and all fillers will still have been tested on animals, as is required due to the laws and regulations surrounding such medicines. The manufacturer, Allergan, seeks to minimize animal testing and has been pushing to reduce and eventually get rid of it in the future. It is down to individual choice to decide whether dermal fillers are right for you.
