Many plastic surgeons say that Juvederm and Restylane are the most durable and longest-lasting fillers available. Both contain hyaluronic acid and are good for smoothing wrinkles and lines. Hyaluronic acid carries 1,000 times its weight in water and makes the skin look young, supple, and soft.
Restylane is more granular, while Juvéderm is smoother. For this reason, Juvéderm is often used to address finer lines and wrinkles in tighter areas of the face such as the smile lines. Restylane – which stays in place better when injected – may be more adept at adding volume to sunken areas of the face.
Voluma XC continues to be one of the most effective and successful. It first earned approval from the FDA in 2013 and is one of the best dermal fillers on the market to help give your cheeks a fuller, more youthful appearance.
Kylie prefers Juvederm, a brand of filler that's owned by Allergan. While there are different types of Juvederm fillers, Kylie's team goes for Juvederm Ultra Plus.
A dermal filler like Juvederm Voluma® XC can add volume to hollowed cheeks for a fuller, firmer, and more youthful look.
Juvéderm Voluma Cost
In general, some of the thinner Juvéderm products range from $600-$800 per syringe. Longer lasting Juvéderm products range from $900-1,000 per syringe category.
Voluma syringes are typically one cc and many patients need between two and four syringes to complete the treatment, which can be one to two syringes per cheek.
Juvéderm for Sunken Cheeks? To help restore lost volume in the cheeks, so you have a fuller, more youthful look, you're likely to need one syringe per cheek.
For example, because Juvederm contains more hyaluronic acid, it's a little pricier than Restylane. Yet you may not need as many Juvederm injections to achieve your results, which may end up being better for your wallet.
Restylane Lyft is a filler designed to be used in areas around the cheeks, mouth, and nose. It adds form and shape to the cheeks while reducing wrinkles. As one of the more popular injectables, Restylane Lyft has made a noticeable difference in patients' cheeks for up to 12 months.
Juvéderm costs an average of $600, while Restylane costs can range between $300 and $650 per injection. Costs aren't covered by insurance.
The effects of the fillers will wear off after months or years, but the treated area is likely to return to its original state. The benefits of both Botox and fillers will be gone and you'll notice that those lines and volume loss will come back.
Depending on the injection site and amount of dermal filler, most HA fillers last from 6 – 12 months on average. Regardless of which dermal filler you use, two or three syringes are almost always recommended in order to achieve the most gorgeous outcomes.
Dermal filler will not cause the skin to stretch and sag, once the filler naturally breaks down. The only case where this would happen is if the face were to be grossly overfilled with extreme amounts of dermal fillers, which is something we most certainly do not do at Cityskin.
In the case of Juvederm Voluma, these injections will be into the skin of the cheek. Your dermatologist will administer multiple small doses in a way that ensures an ideal look once the filler has settled.
Do they lift like a facelift? Never. However, they do provide a bit of a lift or give the illusion of lifting. Cheek fillers also provide volume to the face.
So how much cheek filler will you need? Again, it all comes down to the individual and the results they're looking to achieve, but practitioners will generally use 1-3ml cheek filler per cheek.
In general, the results of JUVÉDERM VOLUMA cheek filler are typically visible for around a year. However, patients sometimes find that the results are visible for up to two years once they start getting maintenance treatments.
The differences for Restylane Lyft vs Voluma? Restylane Lyft is FDA approved for 15-18 months of lift while Voluma is FDA approved for 20-24 months of lift. Voluma is the softer agent and I like using this in individuals with thin skin or with individuals who need a mild lift (younger patients).
Voluma lasts even longer than Juvederm – its effects are apparently for up to two years. This is because Voluma is composed of specially cross-linked hyaluronic acid and because it is administered so deeply inside the skin layers.
Fillers like Juvéderm, Restylane®, and Belotero Balance® can help transform the eye area for a younger, rejuvenated look. Cheek volume is another popular area that clients want to target with fillers. With age, the cheeks can become hollow in appearance or look flat due to a decrease in collagen production.
The use of fillers in the face to achieve a liquid facelift or to increase the size of your cheek bones will leave some damage behind to your face and in the young patient under the age of 35 it will make you look older.
