The biggest misconception is that Juvederm is equivalent to Botox. This is simply not the case. Think of Juvederm as a volume-adding agent and BOTOX as a line-smoothing product.

  • Juvederm softens lines and wrinkles by essentially filling them in
  • BOTOX achieves a similar effect by lessening the folding of the overlying skin by the underlying facial muscles
