Juvederm for Minor Laugh Lines?

I am 31 years and I am beginning to see slight laugh lines appear. Is Juvederm a safe treatment to treat shallow lines? If yes, would an accidental higher amount injected on the area cause excessive abnormal plumping? What other alternative treatment would you recommend for shallow laugh lines?

Juvederm for "laugh lines"

Laugh lines typically refer to periorbital or wrinkles around the eyes. These wrinkles occur because the elasticity of the skin decreases as we age. Skin memory begins to establish the wrinkles. These wrinkles are best treated with paralytics such as Botox or Dysport. Fillers are rarely used.

Juvederm for Minor Laugh Lines (Nasolabial Folds), Not for Crow's Feet

Hi Tmky, Juvederm is an excellent filler for the treatment of early "laugh lines" or nasolabial lines. Botox is better for the laugh lines around the eyes (crow's feet). An experienced injecting physician should know the proper amount of Juvederm to avoid "abnormal" plumping. Should there be excessive filling, it can be treated with an injection, Vitrase or Widase, that helps dissolve hyaluronic acid fillers. Good luck and be well. Dr. P
