Juvederm for dynamic wrinkles?

Question

I went to a medspa that I've received disport before. They offered me Juviderm for my 11's, forehead and crows. Is that even what's it's for? This would be for dynamic wrinkles as I don't have static lines

Anna Chacon, MD, FAAD · Answer

Juvederm is a hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler primarily used to add volume and smooth out static wrinkles, such as nasolabial folds and marionette lines. It is not typically used for dynamic wrinkles, which are caused by muscle movement and are best treated with neuromodulators like Dysport or Botox.

For dynamic wrinkles, especially in areas like the "11's" (glabellar lines), forehead, and crow's feet, Dysport or Botox are more appropriate as they temporarily relax the muscles responsible for these wrinkles, reducing their appearance.

Using Juvederm for dynamic wrinkles might not provide the desired effect and could potentially lead to overfilling or an unnatural look. It is essential to use the appropriate treatment for the specific type of wrinkles you wish to address. If you have concerns or questions about the recommended treatment, discussing them with a qualified professional who can tailor the approach to your needs would be beneficial.

Juvederm is an HA filler and is used to add volume to areas such as the cheeks, lips, jowls, etc.  To treat dynamic wrinkles such as the "11's", forehead and crows feet you will want a neuromodulator such as Botox or Dysport.  I've included a video that I hope you find helpful.

If you have a static lines on the face, then treating you with the filler is an excellent approach. On the other hand, if your wrinkles are purely of dynamic nature, I would not do that with a filler as it will create additional problems. If Botox is not sufficient and you’re not a young individual, and there’s a significant volume loss in the face, then I would consider restoring facial volume by means of autologous fat grafting. When fat grafting is performed by a plastic surgeon with a great deal of experience in fat grafting techniques, the results are extremely natural impractically permanent. I hope this helps and good luck from Leonard Grossman, MD, organic plastic surgery.
