My expression and laugh lines bother me. Can Juvederm injections fill these in and still leave me looking natural, not like work was done?

Juvederm for Laugh Lines and Expression Lines
Yes, these nasolabial folds can be filled in using Juvederm, Restylane, Juevederm Ultra, Juvederm Ultra Plus, Perlane, or Radiesse which are listed in the increasing order of filler thickness for descriptive purposes. The deeper the folds, the thicker the material that I like to use in order to fill them out.
IMHO, Perlane or Juvederm Ultra Plus are ideally suited for deeper folds because they add volume without creating a noticable cord, within the...

Juvederm is Excellent for Lines Around Mouth
Yes. Juvederm is a great soft tissue filler and it works well for lines around the mouth. Many people like Juvederm because it gives a very natural, not overdone look and the results can last up to a year.

Juvederm and other hyaluronic acid fillers work great for smile and laugh lines
Juvederm and other hyaluronic acid-based fillers such as Restylane work very well for the lines from the nose to the mouth and the parenthesis around the mouth or, in medical terms, the nasolabial folds and marionette lines. I use both of these fillers on a daily basis in my Beverly Hills practice with great success. These are safe and effective materials and, while temporary, I can get them to last 6-12 months, depending upon where I inject them.
But beware of permanent fillers such as...

Juvederm needs to be done in tiny amounts around the eyes
Juvederm and Restylane have been great fillers for laugh lines of the face but they both need to be done in tiny amounts at a time and often in a couple of sessions a few days to a week apart to get the best results. They last 6-9 months and cost roughly $550 per syringe.

One cannibal said to the other, "Does this clown taste funny to you?"
Juvederm is a great soft tissue filler. It works very well on the "laugh lines" around the mouth, the nasolabial folds. The laugh lines around the eyes or "crow's feet" are better treated with Botox.
So keep on laughing; remember that smiling is the best form of "plastic surgery".

Juvederm for Laugh Lines
Juvederm can give excellent results when it comes to getting rid of laugh and expression lines. Another dermal filler I would recommend for this purpose is Radiesse, which has a firmer consistency and also gives natural looking results.
The choice between the two fillers may depend on whether structural improvements are needed versus volume in the skin. Radiesse is ideal for structural enhancements. Juvederm adds volume and hydration to the skin as it works to augment tissue.

Juvederm works great for laugh lines
Juvederm, a hyaluronic acid filler, works great for laugh lines or nasolabial folds around the mouth. The end result looks natural and not "over done". You might have bruising and swelling to the area treated for 5-7 days but it can be covered up using make-up. The laugh lines or crow's feet should be treated with Botox.

Juvederm and other FDA approved fillers provide natural results for laugh lines
The key is to find an experienced board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon who listens to your priorities and takes his or her time performing the procedure. In good hands,all filler injections should provide a natural result that should not draw attention to the areas of injection but rather garner you compliments about how rested you look, your hairstyle or the nice cloth you are wearing.

Combination treatments
As the panel members stated, knowing if the condition is best treated with Botox and/or fillers is a good first step. The second step is having the right technique to provide the most natural but effective outcome. Some expression lines that are subtle may require techniques that are designed to pull, lift, support vs. volumizing only. A good injector will listen to your goals, explain the recommended treatment plan, and deliver good outcomes.

Botox more effective than Juvederm for laugh lines.
Hi.
1) Botox relaxes the muscle that causes the laugh lines. So it is the most effective treatment by far, and you look natural.
2) For the occasional patient who does need a filler in the laugh lines, Restylane is safer than Juvederm.

Juvederm for a natural improvement on facial lines
Juvederm works immediate wonders on deep lines and wrinkles without looking fake or obvious. It's a quick procedure and topical numbing cream and/or nitrous (laughing gas) is available upon request to make it a more comfortable experience. Some patients have Juvederm injected in the lips to make them fuller or just on the lip borders to help stop the annoying "lipstick bleeding." Juvederm will last you up to a year, which is well worth it!

Juvederm Helps Smooth Laugh Lines and Restore Facial Volume
Juvederm Ultra and Juvederm Ultra Plus are two types of injectable filler materials derived from hyaluronic acid (HA).
Juvederm Ultra is a lighter material and is used to fill mild lines or grooves as well as to enhance lips.
Juvederm Ultra Plus is made of a heavier material and is better for deeper grooves. It is also used to restore facial volume that is lost with age, most notably in the midface.
These materials last 6-9 months. They will last longer in less mobile areas.
Some...
