Will Juvederm Work on Shallow Wrinkles? I have significant nasolabial lines not just to my mouth, but down past my lips. I went to a local plastic surgeon, paid my $500 only to see absolutely no difference (except to my wallet). I went back to him and he said that the Juvederm I received isn't really for the kind of lines I have, that it is intended for "folds" (this being after he's paid). I think it has everything to do with technique and how it is injected, but since I really didn't see any change, I'm wondering is he right?

A: Juvederm and nasolabial folds and shallow wrinkles

Dear Rae, I'm sorry to hear you didn't notice an improvement. Juvederm usually is effective in treating the nasolabial fold area, however, it can often take 2 or even 4 syringes of the material to see the effect. You can add to the amount you already had injected without harm.

Darkened Purple Colour Under Eyes (Hemosiderin?) - Can I Do Juvederm? Apparently an existing purple colour under eyes caused by hemosiderin can darken purple if fillers are used. I have tear troughs. Very noticeable. I am 27. I have lost fat under eyes as well. I also developed chronic rhinitis & a post nasal drip in the last 6 months. I just started medication 4 this. PND can contribute 2 dark circles. Should I do IPL or vbeam for purple colour? Could Fraxel also help? How will I know if the purple colour under my eyes is from hemosiderin? I want 2 do Juvederm.

A: Juvederm and hemosiderin inlower eyelids

Juvederm will not improve the purple color - hemosiderin deposition - in lower eyelids. In fact, if there is bruising or bleeding associated with the injection it could make it worse. There is no prefect answer for this problem, however, eyelid surgery - blepharoplasty or fat transposition - may help.

	“Totally Worth It for Me - San Jose, CA” I was getting Botox and a girl friend swore by having fillers. I had my labial folds and some frown lines at the bottom sides of my chin. It has been over 7 months and I still see the results. Everyone tells me I look younger. It was totally worth it for me, as it seems to last. You need someone very experienced to get it exactly in the area you want it. I only needed on syringe,this time.... more
	“Juverderm Ultra - YES! for Acne...” One in October with two viles. I am really surprised how long it's lasted. I would say I still have 70% of the results and it's now July. I completely removed the scars that were treated. I am thrilled. I plan on doing this forever. Yeah! more
	“Juvederm in Tear Troughs-don't Do It!” I'm 43 and had some bags under my eyes. Went to a plastic surgeon to discuss surgery options. She suggested I could buy some time with filler and asked if I had a preference for restylane or juvederm. I did not know the difference and she injected 1 syringe of juvederm. She also said that more
	“Juvederm Great the Second Time!” First experience of Juvederm in November. I had a "frown" line in my chin and marionette lines round my mouth. It was done by my dermatologist so I trusted her.I bruised very – very bad on my chin. A dark purple like I have never seen, and there was nothing to cover it up. After about 10 days it went away and the results were OK, not great. Glutton for punishment, I... more
	“Not Worth It” I have had juvederm done twice now. The first time she said that it just sucked it in and saw very little results. I was getting it done for smoker lines around my lips. She suggested I come back which I did two weeks later and she would use the stronger juvederm. Well, I was really puffed up for a while and once the swelling was gone my lips looked barely any different and the wrinkles are... more
