Can Botox be used to eliminate nasolabial folds compared to Juvederm. What is the average cost and anyone know of a skilled injector (reputable doctor) and reasonable at the same time? (Nashville, Hendersonville, Gallatin area) Thanks

Answer: Juvederm versus Botox for Smile Lines Smile lines are best treated with facial filler such as Juvederm. Smile lines are typically filled with a material such as Juvederm to lessen their appearance.Botox is a neuromodulator which can decrease muscular activity. Since our smile is important, typically Botox is not injected in this area.

Answer: What is best treatment for deep Nasolabial folds? Botox or Juvederm? One of the main issues confusing many people who have never had a treatment with Botox or Juvederm, is what areas do each target? I usually tell people, think about it this way; Botox is used for the sides of the eyes and above on your face (between your eyes and forehead) and Juvederm is used for anything below the eyes. This is an oversimplification, however it is basically true. For the nasolabial folds, the best treatment is the filler, Juvederm. This is not an area that is targeted with botox as the wrinkle in this area is not due to abnormal muscle contraction (which Botox treats) it is due to the effect of gravity on your face. Fillers, do just that, they fill space. Typically, we inject some filler into your cheeks to help pull the fold apart slightly, then inject directly into the fold so it softens it. People can have dramatic results. I've posted a link to a more detailed editorial on the difference between Botox and Fillers. James P.
