Juvederm vs. Other Fillers? Comparison

If you are looking for one filler for all three areas such as the lips, nasolabial areas, and under eyes, then Juvederm is the one for you. It's at $550 per syringe and usually takes 2 syringes for the nasolabial areas and one for  the lips and one or 2 for under the eyes. 

As a physician, I have found
that I prefer to use Juvederm products. I would recommend that you find an
injector that you trust, and ask him/her for advice regarding which products
would be right for you.

Juvederm has many applications including filling the lips, nasolabial folds, and areas around the eyes. In some cases, we use Radiesse such as the nasolabial folds since the results last much longer. However, in the lips Juvederm Ultra or sometime Ultra Plus provides a smoother result.

There is no one filler right for all places and all patients. Therefore, we stock a variety of fillers to create the right personalized solution for our patients. To learn more visit our site below.

Juvederm in my experience is the preferred filler for the lips to augment them. It seems to last the longest there and gives the smoothest and most natural feel there. In the nasolabial folds, I find restylane or juvederm to be equally efficacious or effective. I hope this information helps.

Juvederm and Restylane are both excellent production and can be used in similar ways. The most important factor is what your doctor is more comfortable with. Personally, I am more comfortable with Restylane under the eyes, but find that either filler works well in the lips and nasolabial fold (smile lines). I often suggest giving each filler a try to determine which works best for you.

I personally use Juve for my lips and tear troughs. Yes, it can accumulate a small amount more fluid than Restylane (I have used that on myself also) but one injection per year vs. 2-3 for Restylane makes it worth it to me. All hyaluronic acid fillers (Juve, Restylane, Perlane, etc) can be contoured with hyaluronidase (a quick injection) so if you are lumpy or over-corrected it is an easy fix. Fewer injections means less downtime overall.
Enjoy!

Juvederm is soft, supple and long lasting in the lips. I use Restylane, Juvederm, Perlane and Radiesse in other areas around the face, depending on the patient's needs and anatomy.

Many physician injectors have found Juvederm to be slightly less inflammatory and less likely to cause swelling or bruising on lips and/or tear trough areas underneath eyelids. The key is to go with the filler that your board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon is comfortable with. You do not want the physician injector to go beyond his or her comfort zone either with choice of fillers or location of injections.

The properties of the hyaluronic fillers, Juvederm and Restylane and their denser formulations Juvederm Ultra Plus and Perlane, make them very popular. They are soft and malleable, easy to inject so placement is more precise, and if you don't like the look, they go away in a reasonable amount of time.
I, and most of my colleagues, generally turn to Juvederm for lips simply because it is so soft. But that is for the lip "body" - you can easily use Perlane or Restylane above the lip to achieve some very pretty results without even injecting into the lip itself. Often combined with a tiny enhancement of the philtral columns.
One of my favorite techniques is to place filler in a way that causes a little bit of lip eversion. In that case you can show more of your own lip and often entirely skip the lip body injection.
The lip body itself is like a sponge, so any material injected can cause you to feel the differences in product take-up in the various little chambers in the lip tissue since the mucosal lining is so thin and sensitive to variation. Although your outer lip looks smooth, you can sometimes feel a little of the filler from the inside. Certainly properly placed filler will look natural and even when kissing, you shouldn't feel like there is anything there.
Under they eyes? For the most part, I'd say Restylane or Juvederm. If you have very light skin, Juvederm can cause a slight bluish tint, so for the very pale, Restylane is probably better. Stay away from the dense fillers or permanent fillers.
Evolence is gone - it was a great product and wonderful to support drooping mouth corners. I hope it comes back, but for now it's not available.
Naso labial folds? Perlane, Radiesse, Juvederm Ultra. Because the injection depth is different, you can use dense products in this area.
Sculptra used for volume correction higher in the face can often offset the need for fillers in the nasolabial folds.

There are a lot of fillers on the market, but to simplify things, think in terms of thin and thick. The hyaluronic acid fillers are all very similar and are good for under the eyes and augmenting the lips. I also use these products for wrinkles within the skin. Radiesse, made of tiny calcium spheres, is thicker and should not be placed in these areas. This product is great for correcting contours or folds, as opposed to wrinkles within the skin. I like to augment the nasolabial folds with Radiesse as it lasts longer than the HA's.
FYI, Evolence, which is a porcine collagen filler, has been removed from the market for financial reasons.
Good Luck!

Being that most cosmetic dermal hyaluronic acid fillers are comparable, most practioners will agree that they reach for whichever product they are the most familiar with. We've found that Restylane is a far better choice when performing tear trough injections whereas Juvederm provides a nice, smooth look to other areas. Oftentimes, we use whichever product offers the best promotional for our patient and their budget. We tend to use more Restylane because the variety of options such as 0.4cc, 1cc, and now a 2ml syringe. This choice allows us more flexibility when designing a treatment plan.
