How is Juvederm used most effectively? Juvederm is used for reversing signs of facial aging and is extremely effective as a part of your overall facial rejuvenation plan. It can not only soften lines and wrinkles but also add volume lost through the aging process. Another filler, Restylane, was recently shown to stimulate collagen formation. Theoretically, Juvederm may do the same. As such, repeated treatments may help prevent age-related volume loss. The best way to decide if Juvederm is... more

Juvederm is a naturally occurring soft tissue filler

Juvederm, along with Restylane and a few other brands, is a naturally occurring substance called hyaluronic acid, or HA for short. HA is a sugar that occurs naturally in your tissues (including skin) and is most commonly known as the lubricant in your joints. The HA that is Juvederm and Restylane is synthetic, meaning that it is manufactured and not harvested from any animal. It has been modified by a process called cross-linking. This cross-linking... more

Juvederm, Restylane, what is a Filler?

Juvederm is a temporary filler used to diminish deep wrinkle lines of the face, and augment areas such as lips. Juvederm and Restylane are two popular products used as skin fillers to soften or eliminate deep wrinkles of the face, as well as enhance the size of lips. Unlike Botox, which paralyzes muscles, preventing skin from moving and thereby causing wrinkles, fillers like Juvederm act more like a scaffolding to push up the skin from underneath, eliminating wrinkles or... more

Juvederm is a versatile dermal filler

Juvederm, like Restylane, is made from a natural material called hyaluronic acid, so they are known as "HA fillers." They are clear gels that are injected into wrinkle lines and other areas where adding volume is beneficial. Allergic reactions are extremely rare, and they are reversible by injection of an enzyme that dissolves them if needed, though this is not very commonly done. They have a natural feel. Key is to recognize that dynamic wrinkles such as the verical lines... more

Juvederm is a good option for fine lines

Juvederm is a hyaluronic acid filler marketed by Allergan, the same company that brings you Botox and Latisse. Best usage of Juvederm is for lip augmentation, tear trough injection, nasolabial folds and fine lines everywhere else on the face. Longevity is about 4-9 months and avoid massaging the area injected for 24 hours to minimize swelling or bruising.

Effective use for Juvederm

We do recommend coming in for a consultation to determine if Juvederm is the right choice for you. Areas that Juvederm is used most commonly: Nasolabial folds (the parathesis from your nose/mouth), marionette lines (puppet lines), lips, and tear trough (under eyes).
