FDA has updated its dermal fillers Web site and [list](https://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/ProductsandMedicalProcedures/CosmeticDevices/WrinkleFillers/ucm227749.htm?source=govdelivery&utm%5Fmedium=email&utm%5Fsource=govdelivery) of approved dermal filler products to warn the public that unapproved versions of Juvederm, such as Juvederm Ultra 2, 3, or 4, are being sold and distributed illegally in the U.S. The agency says Juvederm is a prescription device that should only be injected and sold by or on the prescription of a licensed healthcare provider.

“Consumers should not buy Juvederm online because the products available to buy without a medical license may not be safe or work as promised,” FDA says. “Healthcare providers and consumers should avoid products labeled as Juvederm Ultra 2, 3, or 4 because these products are not approved by FDA for use in the U.S., and their safety and effectiveness cannot be assured.”
