Fillers for fine lines

I prefer Juvederm for fine lines. The product is an excellent filler for mild to moderate fine lines, wrinkles, and depressions.( The Juvederm plus product is bulkier, better for deeper depressions.) I would treat your smile lines, corners of mouth, and any other area around your mouth with Juvederm. I prefer Juvederm to Restylane, I feel it less, it therefore is a bit more natural to me, and personally it seems to last longer than Restylane in the majority of my patients. It is my... more

Fillers for smile lines

Restylane or juvaderm are both great products to fil in small depressions. Very fine lines may be hard to correct. The products are best for deep depressions.

Fillers for fine lines such as restylane and juvederm

If juvederm ultra or restylane is used for fine smile lines you will have a comparable result but some doctores have their own preference. Juvederm ultra plus would be too thick as would Perlane for fine lines. Lines the are only seen with simiing near the mouth may not improve with filler because it may look lumpy at rest. Forehead lines are best treated with botox. No cream works well to improve forehead wrinkles that are related to muscle movement. see video

Choice of fillers is often doctors preference.

Hi NHK I am a huge Restylane and Perlane fan. However, others love Juvederm. One of advantages of Juvederm is its "smoothness" allows less than perfect treatments to soften afterward and is less likely to have lumps or bumps. On the other hand, Restylane seems to hold much better when a specific volume effect is needed. For the issues you are concerned with, you should do well with either product. For the forehead wrinkles, the glycolic peels... more
