Even 1/2 syringe could make a subtle but noticeable difference in volume in your face. Good injection technique is part of a dermatologist's expertise.
One syringe may be enough for a mild bilateral cheek correction. However, if deep hollows or marked flattening of the cheeks are present, additional syringes may be required. I recommend patients new to JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC start with a minimal treatm ent of one syringe.
A 1ml syringe is usually recommended to start with when patients come in for a treatment. A half syringe of filler can make difference and is a great place to start for some individuals who are nervous or want a very subtle change.
Generally speaking, however, a half syringe of lip filler will give you a subtle result, which is great if you want your lips to be more natural-looking, to correct minor asymmetry or to add hydration. A full syringe will provide a more full and noticeable result, but won't leave you with overfilled lips.
Most patients want to keep the appearance very subtle and natural, whilst some younger patients want a more volumous look. We generally use half a ml for a very subtle change, 1ml for a average fullness that will never look overdone. Younger patients may want more than 1ml in total.
Most syringes contain 1ml of filler, or about 1/5 of a teaspoon. Occasionally you'll see “half syringes” advertised, at just 0.5ml, it's very hard to create a noticeable impact with that small amount of filler.
This is not the case, it means that 0.5ml would not be enough to make changes to the area. Dermal filler lasts 6-9 months before it is FULLY broken down. For cheeks, typically clients require 2-6ml for cheeks or 1ml for a 'top up'.
If you want noticeably plumper lips but don't want to go too far, a half syringe of filler may be enough. This will give you a more natural-looking and subtle result. However, this all depends on the current size of your lips, so a full syringe may be necessary.
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.
Those who opt for half a syringe of filler can expect their results to last for a maximum of 6 months.
Cheek filler
We recommend using as little as 1ml per session for an enhanced appearance.
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.
For flattened cheeks, or if you've lost a lot of volume due to age, this area can require a considerable amount of filler. Many patients need 1cc to 3ccs per side to get the desired results.
When it comes to the cheeks, the most common form of Juvederm generally chosen is Juvederm Voluma XC. This is one of the densest Juvederm fillers available, one designed to add volume under the skin's surface while contouring the cheek area to your liking.
0.5ml can be a great option for those looking for a top-up to a previous treatment, even if your previous treatment was 1ml. Some of our clients like to come back for regular 0.5ml top ups, rather than less regular 1ml treatments. That's why it's called JUVÉDERM®️ Volift Retouch.
As soon as it has been injected, the mere presence of Juverderm® beneath the skin is enough to smooth, plump, and volumize the face. Those immediate results are a nice form of instant gratification. But it usually takes another two weeks to see Juvederm results for the patient's results to fully develop, or settle.
Answer: Can You Store Half A Syringe Of Juvederm To Use At A Later Date? Thank you for your excellent question. I do not recommend storing partially used syringes due to the risk of bacterial contamination and the possibility of subsequent infection.
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.
If you choose to use half of a syringe, it will give you a very subtle change and a more natural look. If you are wanting a noticeable change, I would recommend a full syringe. You will instantly swell after injecting lips but you can look when finished with half the syringe and decide at that point if you want more.
In short, yes, one syringe of filler can make a difference. However, if you want an exaggerated result, or have lost a large amount of volume you may require additional syringes. Your injector can determine this during a consultation by examining your anatomy.
A full syringe of filler is typically 1mL, so a half syringe would be 0.5mL.
Within the first two weeks after your injections, lumps and bumps are normal because the cheek filler is settling. If they are particularly pronounced, your injector may recommend massaging the filler. Secondly, if it is after two weeks, your injector will likely still recommend massage first.
Dermal fillers can be used to restore mid-face (cheek) volume and sculpt the jawline, in order to reduce the appearance of sagging jowls. The procedure is not painful, does not require any significant down-time and is excellent at lifting and sculpting the skin, where volume needs to be replaced.
Immediately after a cheek filler treatment, you may feel pain, swelling, bruising, tenderness, and itching. You will also notice red needle puncture marks and some asymmetric form on your face. These are some common after-effects of a cheek filler procedure.
