I use juvederm xc for some depression on skin and nasolabial and i like it. A new detmatologist said that vollure would be better to smooth things out. Is vollure smoother than xc? i tried juvederm ultra plus once and i hated it because it was too thick and you could actually see it? i do not have major issues or deep folds.

Answer: Vollure Allergan has created a competitive product to fillers such as Restylane that did not draw water into themselves. These fillers, such as Vollure, tend to be longer lasting and more suited to certain areas on the face. Vollure is softer, but we find it better suited to smaller lines, that are less deep, ie. such as those around the mouth. Ultimately, an experienced injector can go over all of the pros and cons of each filler with you so that you can make the best decision. It's unusual that the Juvederm you had injected was so thick. This may have been the result of too much product placed in that area, rather than the product itself.

Answer: Filler options Thank you for your question. Juvederm Vollure is a more malleable filler than Ultra. I use many different fillers on my patients depending on what I see. The most critical point in determining your proper fit for a filler is finding an experienced treatment professional.. I am a board-certified dermatologist and I receive referrals from many of the medspas who use inexperienced injectors and run into problems. An experienced board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon I believe would be your best avenue for treatment. They would know, after examining your situation, what the best filler options would be as well as the pros and cons of the various options. Dr. Adrienne Stewart MD FAAD
