I am 31 and I am beginning to see frown lines. Once I start getting Jeverderm treatments, how often should I get them? Is there a health risk to getting these treatments over a long period of time?

How often should you get Juvederm treatements for frown lines?
Your frown lines are caused by years and years of repeated contractions of the Corrugator muscles. This in turn causes a thinning of the overlying fat and skin - creating wrinkles. The ideal treatment will include both Juvederm AND Botox.
Juvederm is a fabulous Hyaluronic Acid filler - and will do well filling these fine wrinkles. The problem is, that without Botox, the muscles in this area will still contract - and the Juvederm will be forced out of the area,...

Juvederm frequency of treatments for frown lines
You should start with Botox which stops the movement of the muscles that cause the frown lines. Wait a few weeks and if the lines are still prominent, you can have a filler such as Juvederm injected into the lines. If you keep up with your Botox injections about every 4 months or so, the Juvederm may last for years. You should be treated by a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon.

Juvederm treatment for frown lines is often best when combined with BOTOX
Juvederm treatment for frown lines is often best when combined with BOTOX. This way you often don’t need to repeat the Juvederm treatments. The BOTOX can simply be continued about 3 times a year. Or, if you’re young, even twice a year will suffice. Juvederm by itself in the frown lines doesn’t work as well because the muscle action causes it to absorb. On average it lasts about 6 months, but combining it with BOTOX makes it last longer and additional treatment is needed...

Frown lines best treated with Botox
The frown lines are best treated with Botox. Fillers would be my second choice only after Botox did not give sufficient response.

Fillers
All of the fillers such as Juvederm and Restylane will help to treat the nasal fold lines and marionette line and fine lines around the mouth. They work well over time. Most patients will have this done once or twice per year.

Frown Lines and Juvederm
For the frown lines (creases between the eyebrows) I would highly recommend a neurotoxin like Botox or Dysport as first choice before resorting to fillers like Juvederm. If the line can't be smoothed out to your satisfaction with the Botox/Dysport then Juvederm can be added to the creases to improve them further but most patients are quite happy without the addition of filler. You shouldn't have any issues with long term use of either Botox/Dysport or Juvederm. You...

Newport Beach Botox before Juvederm
I would first treat the frown line area with Botox and try and relax the muscles that are contracting which are the cause of the frown lines. In Newport Beach, California where I practice we have a lot of the same issues with our patients from down under concerning frown lines and squinting lines due to sun exposure. Botox or Dysport are both ideal for treating these areas. The treatments usually last three to four months. Juvederm I typically use for the nasolabial or smile lines, lips, and...

Juvederm for Frown Lines
Unless you have frown lines without forehead movement, I would not use Juvederm. I would use Botox to limit the lines of animation. Juvederm lasts about 1 year, the Botox is effective for about 3-4 months. There are no problems with repeated injections.

Botox, Dysport, Wrinkle Treatment, Beverly Hills Botox Dysport, Los Angeles Botox Dysport, Juvederm
I have used Botox for over 20 years to soften frown lines and don't recommend fillers like Juvederm, Restylane or Perlane for their treatment for the following reasons.
The muscles causing the frown lines respond very well to injections of Botox or Dysport that take only a few minutes with very little if any bruising and swelling. The effects last about 3-4 months and can be repeated as often as needed. Millions of Botox treatments have been performed worldwide and...

Frown lines
Try Botox first. Usually the hyperactive muscle is the cause of the lines. This muscle can be relaxed with Botox.

Health Risk For Long Term Juvederm
Since Juvederm is made of hyaluronic acid, a natural substance found within the skin, there are no known health risks with long term treatment. Juvederm or Restylane are excellent choices for treating this area. If further loss of volume occurs, Radiesse may be more effective and longer lasting in the future.

How often to get Juvederm treatments and what are the risks?
Juvederm injections last approximately one year. If you get a reapeat injection in somewhat less than a year, let's say 6-9 months, some Juvederm would still be present and less Juvederm is needed to maintain correction.
So I recommend reinjecting approximately 9 months after the original injection. There is no limit as to how many injections you may receive. Juvederm is made of hyaluronic acid, a natural substance normally found in the skin.

Best Treatment for Early Frown Lines
Gid Day Sidney,
Juviderm for frown lines is very safe. The effect can be enhanced by returning to you injector about 3 to 4 months after your initial session and getting whatever additional treatment is deemed necessary at that point. Depending on the area treated, and the individual patient, Juviderm injections generally last anywhere from 9 months to 2 years. If you are beginning to show signs of volume loss in your face, you may also wish to consider Sculptra volume...

Juvederm uiltra plus will last about 9 months to a year. Depending upon the severity of the depression, you may need one to three syringes. Uusally I start with one or two and then sometimes "top it off" a few weeks later once the swelling subsides.

Botox increases longevity of Juvaderm in frown lines up to one year. With less muscle movement there is less reduction of volume of the Juvaderm over time.

Most people like to have Juvéderm every 12-18 months
Hello Sydney,
Most of my patients still look good compared with their baseline photos when they return for followup one year after treatment with Juvéderm Ultra XC for nasolabial folds, marionette lines and volume restoration or enhancement in the upper cheeks. The duration of cosmetic benefit when glabellar frown lines are treated depends on how active your frowning muscles are. If you don't naturally do a lot of frowing [if the creases are "static" creases] then...

Botox injections are the best treatment for frown lines but juvederm ultra can be used
Botox is best for frown lines (the creases in the glabellar region between the eyebrows) as these are formed by muscular contraction. For those patients whose lines do not improve enough after botox then restylane or juvederm ultra (not ultraplus) can be used. There has been no evidence of long term problems. The juvederm may last a year, give or take. Juvederm and Restylane are more commonly used in the smile creases than the frown lines.

Juvederm
Hyaluronic fillers tend to last from 6-10 months when injected into the nasolabial folds. Studies done on Restylane show that a reinjection of filler in or before the end of the ninth month, will extend the length of the second treatment to up to 18 months! So, mark down the date and come in for a tune-up within the ninth month. As for side effects, beware! It is addictive! Once you see the immediate and natural improvement, you will never want to be without...
