What is Juvederm?
Juvederm is a gel-based dermal filler that is specially designed to correct the lines and wrinkles around your mouth and nose. Treatment areas include smile lines, vertical lip lines and marionette lines. The best part of your NYC Juvederm treatment is that the results last for up to one year.
What can I expect during a consultation for Juvederm treatment?
Effective treatment with Juvederm depends upon a clear understanding of your cosmetic goals and realistic expectations of your procedure. One of our board-certified dermatologists will perform a comprehensive examination of your skin and discusses your treatment options to help you decide if Juvederm is right for you, or if you would benefit from an alternative dermal filler.
What is the difference between Restylane and Juvederm?
Juvederm contains a higher concentration of cross-linked hyaluronic acid and is more concentrated than Restylane. Whether that translates into a major difference in duration of effect remains to be seen. Because of its cross linking, Juvederm is smoother and less viscous and easier to inject. Some patients report that there are fewer bumps and less pain with Juvederm and that the results last around eight months, as compared to six for Restylane.
