Restylane, Juvederm and other fillers can fill in the nasolabial folds.

Yes, from the photo you do have nasolabial folds and Restylane, Juvederm or Perlane are all go fillers to fill these out.  The deeper, the folds, the more filler will be required to fill out the folds.

Juvederm is a Great Solution

Juvederm as well as Restylane are excellent products for filling smile creases like yours or even ones that are much worse.  The hyaluronic acid that makes up Juvederm is a natural skin component and is very safe.  It is a simple 5 minute procedure and you can expect at least 6 months of results, but often times improvements last well over a year.  In fact, new studies have shown that filling wrinkles with hyaluronic acid causes collagen remodeling which doesn't just... more

Juvederm great choice for nasolabial folds

I think you can expect a nice result in your folds. The degree of improvement depends on the amount of Juvederm injected. You should not expect a complete disappearance of the lines and I think that would look unnatural and not pretty, but you will see a nice softening of the folds. Good Luck!

Juvederm great for parentheses (nasolabial folds)

Juvederm is an excellent filler choice for the nasolabial folds. It is safe, appears very natural and lasts anywhere from six to 12 months.

Juvederm Injections, Juvederm Smile Lines, Juvederm "Parenthesis"

You can expect a noticeable softening of smile lines, or “parenthesis.”  The degree of correction will depend on how many syringes of Juvederm are injected into the area.

Juvederm for Nasolabial folds (laugh lines)

The Nasolabial folds or laugh lines are one of the ares most responsive to treatment by fillers. While Juvederm is effective for the superficial layer, deep lines like these respond especially well to treatment by Radiesse or Perlane, which are thicker than Juvederm. I would predict good results with 2 cc's.

Hyaluronic Acid for Laugh Lines...

Since this is your first time getting a "filler" in this area, I would recommend a hyaluronic acid based injectable like Juvederm, Perlane, or Restylane. I think you will be very happy with the results if you go to a provider who has a lot of experience with injectables. One to two syringes is reasonable to soften your laugh lines. Good luck. Hope this helps. Dr. Grant Stevens

Filler for ( )

Filler placed in your nasolabial folds - the ( ) should help smooth the deep groove you have.  I recommend using Juvederm which is a great product.  I'd recommend you go to an experienced injector for a consultation.  Placed well with good technique, you should have a very nice result.   Dr. Cat Begovic M.D.

Fillers work great for reduction of nasolabial folds

Hi, A filler in this area, such as Restylane, Perlane, Juvederm or Radiesse, will work well in this area for you. The amount of reduction in the folds depends on the amount of product that is placed in the area, as well as who is performing the injection. Since you will be having a filler for the first time, I would start conservatively (half a syringe on each side) and then waiting 10-14 days for the results to take form. At this point you can decide whether you want additional product... more

Filler for parentheses

You look like an excellent candidate for filling your parentheses, or nasolabial folds.  The results will depend on the person injecting the filler.  Juvederm Ultra Plus works well for this area.  You will be able to see results soon after.

What Results to Expect from Treating the Parentheses

The results you will get will depend significantly on the skill and the artistic ability of your physician injector. Wrinkle fillers such as Juvederm and Restylane can work nicely in this area, especially for a "first time" patient such as yourself. However, I usually use Radiesse, a volumizing filler, for the nasolabial folds. Several years ago a study was done where Radiesse was injected into one nasolabial fold and, in the same patient, fillers containing hyaluronic acid such as... more

Juvederm for folds

Wichita, I think that Juvederm will make you very happy as long as you have realistic expectations. You might not be flat and without any line but you should expect an excellent correction. Enjoy.

How Much Improvement to Parentheses Lines after Juvederm

If done correctly, you should get a very significant improvement with Juvederm treatment. While no one should tell you that the lines will disappear, your lines are fairly superficial and new and should respond nicely to treatment. The correction lasts about 4-6 months in this area. See a dermatologist, plastic surgeon or facial plastic surgeon with lots of experience using soft-tissue fillers like Juvederm. Good luck.

Juvederm for parentheses

For someone who has not had fillers before, it's best to start with one syringe of Juvederm Ultra Plus, which in my opinion works better for nasolabial folds than Juvederm Ultra, divided between the two sides. Once the initial slight swelling has subsided, in about 3-5 days, you will be able to see the results of the one syringe and decide whether you want more done. Also consider the reason the nasolabial folds form in the first place - the loss of volume in the facial... more

You can get whatever degree of correction you wish

Judging by your photos, with Juvéderm®, you can get whatever degree of correction of your nasolabial folds that you wish. If you have never had fillers before, it might be best to start with one syringe of Juvéderm Ultra or Ultra Plus [half a syringe on each side], enjoy that for a few weeks, then [if you like] go back and have some more. This will give you more control over the final result, and the improvement will sneak up on the people around you, so they will... more

Smile creases and Juvederm or Restylane or Radiesse

The smile lines can be filled by using Restylane, Juvederm or Radiesse. I like to use either of the first two for the first treatment because should you not like the result it can be dissolved. You might need more than one syringe, which adds to the cost, but you might want to only have one syringe divided between both sides and let it settle in and add more two weeks later. You shouldn't expect complete flattening of the lines as that is not natural. see video

Parenthetically speaking, Juvederm works

Hi, you are an excellent candidate to soften the folds with Juvederm. Your injector will be able to place some so that you can see the initial result. The use of an ice pack or topical numbing cream, combined with the lidocaine within the product will help make the procedure comfortable. Start conservatively with one syringe and if you desire more correction (the area near the base of the nose is deeper) then you can have more injected. Good luck! more
