A: Touch up lip injection with Juvederm

For touch ups I use Restylane as it makes a small syringe 0.4ml only. Juvederm does not have any syringe less than 1ml and that is too much for touch ups. Regards

A: One Juvederm syringe at least

It is not possible to divide a syringe between patients so one syringe is the least unit that could be used. Better to get the full correction than a small touch up followed by more injections.

A: Use of Juvederm touch up or correction syringes.

The standard an only dose of Juvederm comes in 0.8 cc. It is generally recommended that you use once a syringe is opened, it should only be used at a single setting on a single patient. You may find practitioners who divide the commercially available Juvederm dose but this is not consistent with the product... more

A: Was it Saved?

Arnold R. Oppenheim, MD

   If your Juvederm was saved from your initial treatment, you can have a touch up pretty easily. Most of us do not charge for that.    However, Juvederm does not come in a smaller syringe than the standard 0.8 cc. So you must purchase the whole syringe if you need the touch up... more

A: Juvederm Touch-up

As far as I know, Juvederm does not have a "touch up" syringe and you are charged for a full syringe.  Radiesse does make a touch up syringe (0.3cc).  This is great so that the expense is minimized.
