Is 21 too young for laugh line fillers?

I recommend fillers to soften the nasolabial folds themselves and also lift around the mouth and cheeks to build underlying anatomical support. In our practice we combine Sculptra with other fillers "layered" on top and lasers, skin tightening treatments such as Thermage, Fractora, and Renuvion (J Plasma), thread lifting, and peels to get the most conservative, natural look. I suggest seeing a facial sculpting expert for a formal consultation. Best, Dr. Emer

Dermal fillers are a wonderful, non-surgical option
for addressing laugh lines. In the past these treatments were viewed as something
that the older client would benefit from but we have seen an increase in a younger
clientele that wants to be proactive and head off unwanted signs of aging.
There are numerous factors that can result in
patients wanting to begin dermal filler treatments at a younger age. Patients who
have experienced a significant weight loss may require filler for added volume in
areas where fat loss has created a hollowness. Some patients have a genetic predisposition
to laugh lines or deep eyes that they’d like filler for to provide a refreshed youthful
look. Every one is different with their very own set of needs. It’s important
to meet with a qualified, reputable injector that you trust and together you
can decide upon the right treatment plan for you. All the best,

Thank you for your question. The decision to have Juvederm at 21 is an entirely personal decision and is completely up to you. Many people in their 20s have begun to use dermal fillers to prevent signs of aging and I don't think any doctor would refuse to treat you on the basis of your age. 

Dear heda44Thank you for your question!  The key for fillers and any procedure is that the provider can attain your goal and a good aesthetic sense.  There are different filler types depending on the area being treated.With Warm RegardsTrevor M Born MD

Yes, you can have fillers to improve your laugh lines. It will take up to 2 weeks for final results with fillers. Hope this helps. 

Thank you for your question.No, there is no minimal age for fillers.  If you have deep nasolabial folds (laugh lines), fillers are great options.  There are many fillers on the market.  I perform all my fillers and I like the long-lasting fillers by Juvederm - Voluma and Volift -  for the laugh line.  Using the cannula technique is important and much safer so choose your injector carefully.Hope this helps!Kind regards,Dr. Marc DuPere, aesthetic plastic surgeon

Fillers are a nice, safe, and effective, and quite natural option for improving thin lips, flat cheeks, under eye hollows, laugh and marionette lines, and much more. Typically they are useful for static, as opposed to dynamic wrinkles like Botox which is commonly used for the forehead and crow's feet area. If you have areas that would benefit from filler, then age is not a factor, although you must be of legal age to provide consent. The fillers are safe and effective at any age. Best to see a highly trained and experienced cosmetic physician such as a dermatologist for optimal safety and results. 

Thank you for your question. It’s difficult to tell without a photo but yes you can use Juvederm or Restylane to treat your laugh lines. There are no age requirements to receive a filler. Please make sure you get a in person consultation with a board-certified dermatologist. 

Yes, you are old enough for a filler treatment. I would advise consulting with an experienced injector regarding your laugh lines. They will be able to recommend what dermal filler would be best to help you realize your aesthetic goals. 

Thanks for your question. Once you are an adult and able to give consent, there are no age restrictions on having filler treatments.  When you discover you need them is the best time to get started, regardless of the age!  Best of luck to you.
