What is JUVÉDERM? The JUVÉDERM collection is a family of highly effective injectable dermal fillers designed to restore a more youthful appearance by restoring lost volume, smoothing out lines and wrinkles, and addressing additional signs of facial aging.
Botox Cosmetic is a purified protein that relaxes the muscles that cause fine lines, wrinkles and folds. In contrast, Juvederm is a line of fillers rather than a relaxer, that works by filling in the grooves and lines to eliminate wrinkles and smooth the skin.
Juvéderm Vollure XC and Juvéderm XC are the treatments we recommend most frequently for cheeks and in this application Juvéderm Vollure XC can last up to 18 months while Juvéderm XC can last up to one year with optimal treatment.
Juvederm costs an average of $550 per syringe; a single syringe may be suitable for those targeting lines around the lips, though other areas will usually require two or more syringes per treatment.
Restylane and Juvederm are hyaluronic acid-containing dermal fillers used for treating signs of skin aging. Hyaluronic acid has a “plumping” effect that's useful for both wrinkles andvolumizing the lips.
Lip fillers are temporary
The experts at Body+Beauty Lab can let you know how long to expect results to last during your initial treatment. When the treatment is dissolved, patients will notice their lips return to their normal appearance.
Restylane is granular and more cohesive while Juvederm has a smoother texture. These texture differences give both fillers different strengths. The smoothness of Juvederm makes it better at addressing finer lines and wrinkles in tight facial areas.
Cost: Juvéderm costs an average of $600, while Restylane costs can range between $300 and $650 per injection. Costs aren't covered by insurance.
Yes, Juvederm works right away. As soon as the dermal filler is injected, it starts to spread throughout the treatment area, volumizing it. That said, the final results of this treatment are not immediately apparent. The filler needs time to settle fully and take full effect.
Can I do a half syringe of Juvederm or Restylane, and does it have to be a full syringe? We do offer half syringes but they are rarely done as most of the time, patients find this is not enough and end up doing another half syringe.
The entire procedure usually takes between 15 and 60 minutes, depending on the area treated. Juvederm injections contain a small amount of pain-reducing lidocaine. This will help minimize any pain or discomfort you feel during treatment and make it go away quickly.
How Long It Lasts. Juvederm lasts longer than products like Botox and Dysport, and patients can enjoy its effects for a period varying between six months and a year. Voluma lasts even longer than Juvederm – its effects are apparently for up to two years.
People who want Juvederm touch-up treatments usually have them every six to 12 months. This might be one answer to the question, “How often should I get Juvederm fillers?” Juvederm is applied in a Doctors office, and each session usually lasts no more than a half an hour.
Safety: Both treatments can cause temporary pain and discomfort. Serious, but rare Juvéderm risks include loss of blood, scarring, and allergic reactions. Botox may cause headaches and droopy skin.
The short, ultra general answer, is Yes! People aged 65 and above can safely receive Botox to reduce signs of aging; as long as you are in general good health, you shouldn't have any problem with Botox treatments.
In general, Botox lasts 3-4 months. There will certainly be patients in which in lasts longer, in that 4-6 month range, or shorter, in that 2-month range. It is also common for first-timers to notice that it may not last as long initially but may last longer after the second treatment.
And is Juvederm really worth the cost? Juvederm is an exceptional product. It's natural, it's long-lasting and it's affordable. Juvederm is typically priced by the syringe, considered industry standard.
If you want to reduce wrinkles around your nasolabial folds for two years and don't mind three injections, Sculptra is a better option. Although Juvederm XC only requires one treatment, the results don't last as long as Juvederm.
How Long Does it Take Fillers to Dissolve Naturally? Different fillers tend to naturally dissolve at different speeds. Most hyaluronic acid fillers used in the lips, jawline, and cheeks, including Juvederm and Restylane, metabolize after 6 months to a year.
Some dermal fillers have been studied to last close to two years. The three fillers that tend to last the longest are Restylane Lyft, Restylane Defyne, Restylane Refyne, Juvederm, Voluma, Radiesse, and Sculptra. Restylane Defyne is built for balance and used in the nasal labial folds and marionette lines.
There's only one FDA-approved dermal filler that is not absorbed by the body. It is made with polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) beads suspended in a solution that contains bovine (cow) collagen. PMMA beads are tiny round, smooth, plastic beads.
The Russian technique accentuates the cupid's bow to resemble a heart-shape by injecting additional volume and lift into the center of the lips, while the sides still remain relatively in line with the face. The result is doll-like while still appearing naturally full and plump.
Compared to Botox, dermal fillers are just as effective. More importantly, the results last longer. However, the duration of the effects of dermal fillers still varies mostly on the type of filler. Some may last as long as Botox, while other types of fillers can last for more than a year.
Juvederm effectively treats the bags and dark circles that can appear under the eye. It offers more pronounced results, which can sometimes make it a good choice for patients with deeper hollows under the eyes. Some patients also choose Juvederm because it offers a stronger concentration of hyaluronic acid.
In our experience the most effective filler for treating the marionette line is either Juvederm Ultra Plus or Radiesse depending on the depth and configuration of the marionette lines.
