How Often Should I Get Juverderm Treatments for Frown Lines?

Frown lines can vary in depth from person to person. They are cause by the repeated motion in that area causing creases in the skin. In a person with deep from lines using a combination of botox and filler will result in the best result.  With time and repeated treatments with botox to minimize movement filler can be added if and when needed.  Juvederm last around 9-12 months and is made of hyaluronic acid.  There is no known long term side effects from filler treatment.

Your frown lines are caused by years and years of repeated contractions of the Corrugator muscles.  This in turn causes a thinning of the overlying fat and skin - creating wrinkles.  The ideal treatment will include both Juvederm AND Botox.

Juvederm is a fabulous Hyaluronic Acid filler - and will do well filling these fine wrinkles.  The problem is, that without Botox, the muscles in this area will still contract - and the Juvederm will be forced out of the area, therefore reversing a good correction. 

Adding Botox, which will smooth the collapsed wrinkles, then using Juvederm to fill in the lost fat causing the wrinkles, results in a smooth and plump area.  The Juvederm will stay put, since the Botox has temporarily paralyzed the area muscles, and the treatment will last much longer than either Juvederm or Botox used alone. 

Botox lasts about 3-6 months, Juvederm can lasts 6 months, combining the two products can actually make your treatment provides much longer results than either product would alone.

However, you need to see a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon in person, to have your unique situation evaluated and treated.
