Juvederm and the Prevention of Facial Folds in a 25 Year Old

Michael A. Persky, MD answers: Can Juvederm prevent the worst folds?

I'm 25 years old and I can see the folds on my face when I smile. If I stay getting Juvederm, can this prevent future folds on my face?

Hi Smiley,

Juvederm will not prevent you from forming "future folds" on your face.  It can effectively add volume to your face to support your skin so that folds are not seen.  It is like inflating a beach ball, the folds come out as the ball is filled with air.  Same thing on your face, just with a properly and strategically placed filler.

Enjoy your youth.  There is no filler available that can "trump" youth.  Good luck and be well.
