Juvederm® vs. Restylane®
We offer the Juvederm® and Restylane® families of dermal fillers so our providers can choose precisely the right filler. Both fillers use hyaluronic acid, and each family has members that will achieve similar goals. Both will last between six and eighteen months, depending on the formula. Your dermatology professional will understand the subtle differences in each formula and may prefer a Juvederm® filler for one area of the face and a Restylane® filler for another.
Am I a Good Candidate for Juvederm®?
If you have lost facial volume, you may be a good candidate for Juvederm®. Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in young skin, so reactions occur very rarely. We may recommend that you wait for treatment if you have a breakout or infection in the treatment area.
Is There Any Downtime with Juvederm®?
Juvederm® treatment takes about 15 minutes for one treatment area. You can return to your regular activities immediately afterward. While we use techniques to minimize bruising, you may notice a few small spots. These will fade within a few days, and you can cover them with makeup if they bother you.
