Juvederm: Q&A
Ask a QuestionIs Juvederm Effective for Deep Nasolabial Lines?
Consulted with hospital cosmetic clinic to take Juvederm injections for deep nasolabial lines, and finer lines/wrinkles around mouth including lip's short/vertical lines. I was told injections may not be enough. To try laser on lower or entire face, or silicon. I'm reluctant to the much more invasive laser, and read silicone migrates.
I wonder if anyone with very deep lines (and finer lines around lips) tried Juvederm with success? Or any other fillers? Thanks so much for your opinions!

Deep folds require more filler...
It is not that fillers like Juvederm, Perlane, and Radiesse will not help deep nasolabial folds, it is just that it requires more filler to the fold as well as the cheeks to lift the area. It therefore may not be "cost-effective". Fine lines are fine with Juvederm or Restylane, but lasers like the Deep FX will give more permanent improvement. One thing I think: avoid silicone. Over the years, it results in a muzzled, "monkey" look to the mouth area that gets worse, not...

Is Juvederm Effective for Deep Nasolabial Lines?
There are several formulations of Juvederm, some of which are better suited to deeper areas of volume loss of filling deeper folds or lines. Radiesse can be used as well for these purposes. There are other options as well, and a lot of this depends upon surgeon preference. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Using Juvederm for Deep Nasolabial Folds
I have successfully used Juvederm Ultra & Ultra Plus, Restylane, Perlane, Radiesse and Artesense for deep nasolabial folds/lines. Most importantly, you want an expert injector (e.g. dermatologist) who understands your skin and how much and which filler to inject, and at what depth, and in combination with what other treatments.

Deep and fine lines with Juvederm
Juvederm will work very well for the deep nasofacial lines.The improvement will last 6 to 8 mopnths, possibly longer.
Radiesse (Calcium Hydroxyappatite) can last longer: 10to 12 months or possibly longer.
For fine wrinkles on the upper lip, a few units of Botox followed in 1 week by Traditional Laser Resurfacing would be the best treatment. Unfortunately, there is a long period of downtime (7-9 days or longer). Alternately, Botox followed by Fractional Laser Resurfacing...

Radiesse, Beverly Hills Radiesse, Los Angeles Radiesse, Juvederm
Yikes, I'm not a fan of injecting free silicone into the face or body because of the very real risk of serious complications. You can do a quick search on the web to see the reported silicone complications. For deep smile lines also called nasolabial folds you may consider:
Radiesse
Perlane
Juvederm Ultra Plus
All of these are thicker fillers than Juvederm and should give greater filling effects to the folds. For the fine smile lines, around...

Juvederm and folds
Juvederm or Perlane is great for the nasolabial folds. It helps reduce the deep depression. It is not good for fine lines.

Radiesse ,Perlane and Juvederm Ultraplus are better choices for deep nasolabial folds
When we are treating deep nasolabial folds robust fillers such as Radiesse, Perlaneor Juvederm Ultra plus work much better than Juvederm and Resylane
They will add volume as well as filling the folds.
For very deep folds we add Juvederm or Restylane on top in a layered fashion for better outcome

Juvederm is very effective for the nasolabial lines. You may also want to inquire about Radiesse, this works great for very deep folds; and Radiesse lasts between 12 to 18 months.

Juvederm use common for nasolabial lines
One of the most common uses for Juvederm is for the nasolabial lines (from the corner of the mouth to the corner of the nose). I would discourage you from trying more extensive procedures if you are unsure yet of what you are trying to achieve.
Start out slowly and pick your doctor carefully.

Soft tissue fillers like Juvederm work for nasolabial folds
Deep nasolabial or mentolabial (marionette lines) folds can be treated quite effectively with hyaluronic acid soft tissue fillers such as Juvederm Ultra Plus or Perlane. Finer lines/ wrinkles such as those around the mouth and lips can be addressed using Juvederm Ultra or Restylane.
Depending on the severity of your lines/ folds, you may require more than one syringe or a combination of soft tissue fillers to optimize your results. Consult with a reputable board certified plastic...
