Juvederm for Laugh Lines and Expression 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... more

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.

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, 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.

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.

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.

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 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 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... more
