Differences between Juvederm and other fillers

A very useful feature of this filler lies in its composition: hyaluronic acid does not contain a single harmful component that could cause even the slightest harm. In addition to it, Juvederm contains an anti-inflammatory substance - a phosphate buffer, which significantly reduces the risk of complications in the form of inflammation.

The drug injected into the lips will ensure their smooth outline. There is no clear outline or rough border from it.

Juvederm provides smooth lip contours

But it is dangerous to inject Juvederm under the eyes: this drug retains water, and therefore, being under the eyes, that is, near the nasolacrimal duct, can provoke many unpleasant complications.

Important ! According to experts, the most common case of these complications from Juvederm is swelling. Then you should choose a remedy for treating the periorbital zone.

Swelling sometimes occurs after using this filler.

Indications for Juvederm Hydrate injections

Biorevitalization with Juvederm Hydrate is indicated for the following problems:

• Visible dehydration of the skin, accompanied by characteristic tightening and peeling;
• Mesh wrinkles near the eyes;
• Horizontal and vertical forehead wrinkles;
• Nasolabial and marionette folds;
• Purse-string wrinkles around the lips;
• Hyperpigmentation and hyperkeratosis;
• Dull color and defective skin texture;
• “Bruises” under the eyes;
• Swelling and puffiness of the face;
• Signs of deformation aging (gravitational ptosis, pastosity, flabbiness).

Advantages of the drug "Juviderm"

Doctors speak so highly of this product because it is fluid and distributed evenly in the tissues. The treated area is filled equally, and bumps and compactions are almost completely eliminated.

This drug has other advantages:

• is inserted easily without causing pain;
• the resulting volume lasts for at least a year;
• does not cause allergies;
• rehabilitation is fast;
• contains an anesthetic;
• the concentration of hyaluronic acid is carefully selected.

Juvederm has many advantages

Juvederm is considered the most comfortable and safe of all modern series of fillers. It has been used long enough for its high effectiveness to be evident. In addition, this filler is removed from the body itself, which allows you to completely control your appearance.

Important ! Thanks to all these factors, Juvederm is highly respected by many medical and cosmetology institutions.

Many people love this filler

Active ingredients of Juvederm

A feature and at the same time an advantage of Juvederm biopolymers is their high-quality composition. The unique formula of the drugs contains:

• highly purified hyaluronic acid of non-animal origin;
• auxiliary components - phosphate buffer and mannitol - providing an anti-inflammatory effect and lasting results;
• local anesthetic lidocaine, which helps to easily and painlessly introduce the biogel.

The base component of Juvederm is the best natural moisturizer for epithelial tissues. Hyaluronic acid is a part of our body and is essential for maintaining healthy skin, ligaments and joints. The remarkable ability of the substance to attract and retain large amounts of moisture has found application in aesthetic cosmetology.

Operating principle

Dryness, thinning and sagging skin are a direct consequence of insufficient synthesis of organic hyaluronate. Losing polysaccharide reserves, the dermis becomes covered with wrinkles and folds, sags, and loses its brightness and radiance. And first of all, these unpleasant changes appear on the face and neck. Juvederm injections will help cope with them.

Getting deep into the epidermis, the filler begins to gradually split, attracting water molecules. Thus, a moisturizer depot is created at the injection site and active renewal of the body’s own cells occurs. The tissues receive additional volume, the bottom of the creases is raised and the skin is evened out.

If a person is not prone to edema, the effect of administering the drug will be remarkable. The face will become young and fresh, completely maintaining naturalness and facial expressions.

For patients suffering from excess accumulation of fluid in tissues, hyaluronic biopolymer is unlikely to benefit - severe swelling will be created at the injection site and the face will become puffy. Therefore, before introducing filler, you should eliminate all existing diseases and only then take care of your appearance.

Purposes for which Juvederm is ideal:

	Lip augmentation
	Filling nasolabial folds
	Nose correction without surgery
	Raising the corners of the lips
	Cheek augmentation

The main purpose of using Juvederm fillers is to create volume and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Therefore, the introduction of biogels is indicated in the following cases:

• pronounced nasolabial folds;
• thin or asymmetrical lips;
• purse-string wrinkles around the mouth;
• creases in the forehead and bridge of the nose;
• clown smile;
• crow's feet;
• dark circles under the eyes;
• deepening of the nasolacrimal duct.

In addition to eliminating various wrinkles and folds, Juvederm fillers can correct the shape of the cheekbones and the shape of the face, fill the missing volume in the cheek area, and even correct the nose after rhinoplasty.

Another purpose of Juvederm preparations is intensive moisturizing and healing of the skin, preventing the first signs of aging. It is for these purposes that biorevitalizant gels are used..

A little more detail about the two Juvederm products

Juvederm Ultra 4

This product is the newest in the line. With its help you can achieve several goals:

• elimination of pronounced folds and wrinkles;
• getting rid of skin sagging;
• enlargement of cheekbones and chin;
• lip filling;
• tightening the oval of the face.

Juvederm Ultra 4 helps correct many facial skin problems

The drug is homogeneous and has a suitable viscosity, so it is easy to administer and disperse evenly in the treated areas.

Important ! The main component of Juvederm Ultra 4 is HA, thanks to which you can achieve a double goal at once: correct the shape of the face and restore the water balance of the skin.

Hyaluronate is the basis of this product

When injecting, the doctor uses a syringe with an ultra-thin needle. The dosage and injection site are determined by the doctor, focusing on the goals that need to be achieved. If necessary, the dose can be adjusted. Since the product contains lidocaine, the injection will not cause pain in the patient.

The effect can be noticed immediately after the procedure, but the result builds up over a week or two. Then it lasts for about a year.

The effect of introducing such a drug is immediately visible

Juvederm Hydrate

This drug performs biorevitalization of “dry” skin. Here are its sure signs:

• dull gray color;
• enlarged pores;
• dryness;
• expression wrinkles;
• irritation.

There are signs that make it clear what dry skin looks like.

If you introduce Juvederm Hydrate into such skin, the product will stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, restore water balance to the skin cells, and vitality to the skin itself.

This drug is not administered too deeply, since it affects its upper and middle layers. The natural appearance of the face is ensured immediately after the injection.

Juvederm Hydrate does not need to be injected deeply

Among the components of the drug Juvederm Hydrate is mannitol. This substance protects the skin from free radicals and also allows HA to remain in the skin longer.

The bright result lasts up to 10 months. It includes:

• deep skin hydration;
• getting rid of fine wrinkles;
• good lifting effect;
• skin elasticity;
• its elasticity;
• radiant complexion.

The effect lasts for 10 months

Forms of release of Juvederm® fillers –

All fillers of this brand contain the anesthetic lidocaine 0.3%, but the concentrations of hyaluronic acid in them will be different and vary - from 15 to 24 mg/ml. In addition, depending on the technology of cross-linking HA molecules, fillers of this brand can be divided into 2 types. The first option is the Juvederm® Ultra series, which uses the traditional technology of cross-linking HA chains using cross-links.

The second option is the Juvederm® Vycross series of products, which uses innovative technology of short cross-links between chains of HA molecules. Juvederm fillers such as Volume, Volift and Volbella are made using Vycross® technology.

1) Juvederm® Ultra line of fillers –

• Juvederm® Ultra Smile - this filler is used primarily only to increase the volume of the lips and correct the contour of the red border of the lips. The gel has a low density, the concentration of hyaluronic acid is 24 mg/ml. The high elasticity of the gel ensures that after the injection you will not feel denser inclusions inside your lips. Needle size – 30G. The effect lasts about 6 months. Available in packs of 2 syringes (0.55 ml each), the cost of 1 pack is about 9,000 rubles.

• Juvederm® Ultra 2 is designed to be injected into the middle layers of the dermis and can be used to correct superficial fine lines around the eyes and around the mouth, as well as wrinkles between the eyebrows. This filler option is also suitable for correcting the contour of the red border of the lips. To increase lip volume, it should be used only if you plan to make a small amount of correction.

  The needle size marking is 30G. The concentration of hyaluronic acid is 24 mg/ml, the duration of the effect is about 6 months. The package contains 2 syringes of 0.55 ml each, the cost of 1 package is about 9,000 rubles.

• Juvederm® Ultra 3 – used for the correction of medium and deep wrinkles (optimally medium ones), nasolabial folds. But it can also be used to increase the volume of the cheekbones and cheeks, as well as correct the contour of the red border of the lips. The instructions say that the drug is also suitable for increasing the volume of the lip body, this is indeed true, but we believe that for these purposes it is still optimal to use the very first version of this filler (see above). The needle size marking is 27G.

  The gel has average density and elasticity and can be injected into the middle and deep layers of the dermis. The concentration of hyaluronic acid in it is 24 mg/ml. The duration of the effect is already from 6 to 9 months, which is ensured by its higher density compared to previous filler options. Release form - each package contains 2 syringes with a volume of 1.0 ml. The cost of 1 package is about 11,000 rubles.

• Juvederm® Ultra 4 – compared to previous filler options, Juvederm Ultra 4 has an even greater gel density. The drug should be injected only into the deep layers of the dermis. Indications for use: correction of deep wrinkles, nasolabial folds, but in principle it can also be successfully used to increase the volume of the cheekbones. Contains 24 mg/ml hyaluronic acid, needle size – 27G. The duration of the effect is 12 months. Release form - the package contains 2 syringes with a volume of 1.0 ml. The cost of 1 package is from 11,500 rubles.

2) Juvederm filler line using Vycross® technology –

• Juvederm® Volbella is intended for injection into the superficial and middle layers of the dermis using a 30G needle or cannula of the same size. Contains 15 mg/ml hyaluronic acid. The drug is intended for the correction of superficial wrinkles in the forehead and around the mouth, as well as increasing the volume of the lips and correcting their contour. Juvederm Volbella is made using Vycross® technology, the effect lasts about 12 months. The package contains 2 syringes of 1.0 ml each, the cost of 1 package is about 16,000 rubles.

• Juvederm® Volift is intended for injection into the deep layers of the dermis using 30G needles, or using 25, 27 or 30G cannulas. The main area of ​​application is moderate and deep wrinkles and nasolabial folds; it can be used to correct the volume and contour of the lips. The content of hyaluronic acid is 17.5 mg/ml. Juvederm Volift is made using Vycross® technology, the effect lasts up to 15 months. Release form - the package contains 2 syringes of 1.0 ml each, the cost of 1 package is about 16,000 rubles.

• Juvederm® Voluma - intended for introduction into the deep layers of the dermis, or periosteum. The drug is administered using 27G needles or cannulas. The concentration of hyaluronic acid is 20 mg/ml. Juvederm Voluma is made using Vycross® technology, the effect lasts up to 18 months. It is used exclusively to add volume to the soft tissues of the face in the area of ​​the cheeks and cheekbones. Release form - the package contains 2 syringes of 1.0 ml each, the cost of 1 package is about 16,000 rubles.

Important: the concentration of hyaluronic acid cannot be a criterion indicating the duration of the effect of the drug. For example, if you compare one of the Restylane® fillers with a HA content of 20 mg/ml to any filler in the Juvederm® Ultra line with a content of 24 mg/ml, you may erroneously conclude that the second brand will have a longer duration of action. This is absolutely not true, because... The duration of action of fillers largely depends on the number and type of bonds between HA chains that are formed during its chemical modification.

Juvederm or Restylane

Many patients ask what is better to choose between Juvederm and Restylane. Doctors can answer something like this: both drugs are of artificial origin, are more effective, and have a lasting effect. They differ only in density. Juvederm preparations also differ according to it: density and effect are proportional to the concentration of HA.

Restylane and Juvederm are very similar

Self-administer Juvederm at home

This is not a good idea and can cause great harm to your health. To carry out such an operation, you need to purchase the drug. It is impossible to do this without having a certificate of completion of Juvederm courses. And if you buy biogel from dubious suppliers, you are at great risk.

Complications after the introduction of counterfeit fillers arise immediately and are characterized by severity, and the consequences of “saving” have to be treated for many years.

The risk of infection, facial damage, or unsatisfactory aesthetic results greatly outweighs the small amount you will save. Just imagine: you can hit a vessel, artery or nerve trunk and get serious problems in the form of persistent hematoma, necrosis (death) of the skin or nerves at the injection site, numbness of the skin or paralysis of part of the face, permanent blindness or brain apoplexy! Please do not skimp on your health and beauty! Use the servants of professionals.

Drug safety issue

A kind of proof of the safety and effectiveness of Juvederm is the fact that it is produced. This manufacturer perfectly cleans all biopolymers, and makes hyaluronic acid artificially, so it is almost never an allergen.

Important ! If the patient has no health problems, the risk of “side effects” is minimized. The exception is taking blood thinners, or, alternatively, vitamin E: both of these in combination with Juvederm preparations can cause swelling and bruising.

Juvederm is safe for health

Rehabilitation after the procedure

Once the injections are completed, the recovery procedure begins. It requires compliance with a number of rules. They are as follows:

• a temporary ban on physical activity has been imposed;
• Do not drink strong coffee, alcohol, or smoke;
• It is prohibited to visit the solarium and sunbathe;
• Do not touch the affected area for 2 days;
• The use of decorative cosmetics is prohibited for at least 12 hours.

To speed up healing, you can make compresses and use anti-inflammatory ointments. It is recommended to coordinate all procedures with a cosmetologist. This will minimize the risk of negative consequences.

When should Juvederm not be used?

Although people turn to cosmetologists in order to become more attractive in appearance, no one has yet canceled the Hippocratic oath. This means that the doctor is obliged, first of all, not to cause harm to the patient’s health. That is why he has the right to refuse “beauty injections”, having found out that the client has the following problems:

• any neoplasms in the body;
• intolerance to HA, the main component of Juvederm fillers;
• aggressive reaction of the skin to a puncture - severe swelling and tissue growth in case of damage;
• diabetes;
• compactions and lumps where filler is supposed to be injected;
• the patient had an unpleasant experience with the same filler;
• pregnancy;
• lactation;
• any skin inflammation;
• autoimmune pathologies;
• high temperature at the time of the proposed injection;
• blood clotting problems.

This filler has a large number of contraindications

Recommendations

To ensure that the result does not bring disappointment, but makes you happy, listen to the following recommendations:

• The procedure cannot be performed during pregnancy, exacerbations of chronic diseases, inflammatory processes, or infections.
• The procedure cannot be performed if blood clotting is poor.
• 7 days before the procedure, stop taking anticoagulants that thin your blood.
• Make sure you do not have any allergic reactions to anesthetics. Ask your esthetician what anesthetic will be used during the procedure, and then do a test to see how your body reacts to this drug.
• After the procedure, avoid direct sunlight on the treated area.
• After the procedure, avoid high temperatures.
• Do not strain your muscles or touch your face after the procedure.
• Avoid massage for a while after the procedure.

How to prepare for the procedure and how does it go?

Two weeks before any injection, you must stop taking the following medications:

• antibiotics;
• vitamins;
• antimicrobial drugs;
• anticoagulants.

The worst thing is if the patient took drugs from the last group more than a couple of weeks before the injection. Including Heparin, Fraxiparin.

Many medications need to be excluded from the dosage list.

Important ! You also need to “give up” with scrubs and peelings within the same couple of weeks at least. The day before the injection you should not drink coffee or alcohol. On the day of the injection, you should not drink anything strong or eat anything spicy. A woman is not recommended to use fillers on her menstrual days.

You should not drink coffee or alcohol the day before using the filler.

The procedure is carried out as follows:

• the patient is seated in a chair;
• clean his face;
• use an antiseptic, if necessary, give anesthesia;
• the drug is administered;
• then the patient spends another 15 minutes to half an hour in the chair;
• After making sure that the patient is in good health, the doctor will allow him to get out of the chair and return to normal life.

The procedure does not last long

Contraindications

The use of Juvederm fillers is prohibited for pregnant and lactating women, people with severe allergic reactions and patients undergoing immunosuppressive therapy. In addition, it is not advisable to use the drug if there is any inflammation (pimples, redness, etc.) in the area of ​​the intended injection. Combining contour plastic surgery with laser resurfacing or chemical peeling procedures is also strictly not recommended.

Those who want to try the new Juvederm Hydrate for themselves should remember that not everyone can use this filler. Those who are intolerant to the new component - mannitol - will have to postpone the procedure. The drug itself can only be injected into areas that do not contain any other filler.

What those choosing Juvederm need to know

There is no need to be afraid to combine several types of filler. This is completely acceptable. If, for example, it is necessary to get rid of small wrinkles around the eyes and increase the volume of the lips, then the cosmetologist is simply obliged to offer two different types of drugs. Each of them has its own viscosity, which makes them effective for solving strictly defined problems. And if one drug perfectly copes with a large nasolabial fold, this does not mean that all types of contour plastic surgery should be done only with its help.

Side effects

Juvederm filler injections rarely cause any complications. However, it also happens that even the best doctor cannot prevent unexpected reactions of the body. Usually this is filler rejection due to intolerance to HA. This happens quite rarely, and the doctor can stop such cases quite easily.

Not all people can tolerate hyaluronic acid

There are other side effects that are more common. However, they are less serious. Here they are:

• swelling is a natural reaction of the skin to damage and stretching from the inside;
• bruise - a slight blue discoloration where a puncture was made that damaged the capillaries;
• soreness;
• slight redness;
• swelling around the eyes;
• lack of pigmentation where the puncture was.

There are side effects of using Juvederm

However, when using the Juvederm filler, the place where the product was injected cannot fester; an increase in temperature is also excluded, as are problems with the mobility of the treated area.

Important ! If at least one of these three effects occurs, you must urgently contact a cosmetologist who will take appropriate measures.

How many syringes of Juvederm will be enough?

Negative reviews of Juvederm are often due to a woman’s desire to save money and introduce a minimum amount of biopolymer. After all, many ladies are sure that one syringe is more than enough for the entire face. This misconception often leads to disputes and leaves the patient with an unpleasant feeling of being deceived, often wrongly.

In standard cases, a whole syringe of the drug is required for each nasolabial fold, the same amount of gel is needed for the eyes, and 1–2 ml is needed for lip correction.

Thus, 2–6 syringes of biogel are needed for a complete facial treatment. Some defects may be so deep that they require additional injection of solution.

How to know how much filler is enough and why more isn't always better.

Preventing problems

If you follow some rules, all cosmetic procedures will be noticeably easier to tolerate. First of all, you need to remember: most correctors are injected locally into the deep and middle layers of the skin, and the filler disperses evenly in the treated area. But biorevitalization is the use of a product in the upper layers for general facial rejuvenation. Fillers are also not used to fill the eyelids, and they also do not allow them to enter the blood vessels.

Following the rules makes the procedure easier

Only a professional has the right to decide how much of the drug to inject under the skin.

Important ! After the injection, you should not wear makeup or do self-massage of your face for a day. Until a couple of weeks, you should not sunbathe, go to the bathhouse or sauna, or expose your face to heat or cold in any way.

Carrying out injections

Indications for the procedure

• Drooping corners of the mouth;
• Asymmetrical features;
• Wrinkles, including purse-string wrinkles, in the perioral area, as well as the neck and forehead area;
• Thin lips;
• Blurred outline;
• Prominent nasolabial folds;
• Crow's feet";
• Lack of volume in the area of ​​the cheekbone and cheeks;
• The need for bioreinforcement of the oval of the face;
• Age-related sagging of the skin flap;
• Skin creases.

Rules

Contour plastic surgery is permitted only by a certified specialist.
Doing this yourself at home is strictly prohibited. The cosmetologist first determines the required amount of filler for the correction area and a one-time puncture of the dermis. No more than 1.5-2 ml of product is consumed in one session. If there is not enough substance, you can continue only after some time (not earlier than a week).

How it goes

1. The skin is cleaned of impurities, makeup is washed off, then treated with a disinfectant (salicylic acid, medical alcohol).
2. Open the package with the drug. Check the expiration date. Make the necessary entries in the outpatient card.
3. Injection occurs.
4. Treat the skin with an antiseptic.
5. Give a light massage. The cosmetologist can knead the corrected area to more evenly distribute the filler in the subcutaneous layer.
6. The doctor gives recommendations for a quick recovery.

The procedure takes, on average, about half an hour, in extremely rare cases the time is doubled.

Course duration

The results of the procedure using Juvederm fillers are visible immediately. In some cases, with a large perimeter of the treatment area, the course may consist of several sessions.

The effect lasts for a long time - it lasts about a year, but when modeling lips, the period is reduced to 6 months.

Healing period

After the injections, slight swelling and redness are observed for the first few days.
These phenomena are not at all dangerous and go away on their own within a few days. If symptoms persist for a long time, you should seek help from a leading specialist.

To quickly return to your normal rhythm of life, it is important to adhere to a number of recommendations (individual advice is given by your doctor).

1. For the first few days, it is strictly forbidden to touch the correction area. You can’t even wash your face or apply decorative cosmetics. It is possible to use medicinal care products.
2. For a couple of weeks you should not visit the solarium, gym, sauna, bathhouse or swimming pool.
3. For the next 7 days, give up alcohol, salty foods and cigarettes (tobacco smoking is especially contraindicated after lip correction).
4. When performing plastic surgery in the cold season, you need to reduce your exposure to the cold.
5. It is possible to use specialized ointments such as Traumeel C to relieve inflammation and various herbal compresses based on chamomile, linden or plantain. You should first consult with a cosmetologist.

Features at different ages

It is permissible to perform contour plastic surgery from the age of 18. In this case, it is necessary only in the presence of congenital or acquired defects in appearance. Quite light and soft gels can be used for the procedure.

After 30 years, the requirements for fillers also increase. Only denser dermal fillers provide guaranteed results.

Effect stability

The patient can admire the results obtained from Juvederm Ultra for almost a whole year. And if the first generation Juvederm drugs are used, they last only 9 months, and then the procedure must be done again. To preserve the results for as long as possible, you should drink at least a liter of purified water to maintain water balance.

The older the filler generation, the shorter the validity period

This information is averaged, since the individual characteristics of the organism are very important here. For example, how quickly it processes HA molecules.

Important ! A patient who has discussed all the nuances with the doctor from the very beginning greatly increases the chances of being satisfied with the effect of the procedure. It is necessary to immediately warn a specialist about all the pathologies and allergies that exist: the most seemingly insignificant illness can easily cause a lot of trouble for your health.

Timely discussion of issues with a doctor increases the chances of a successful and enjoyable procedure

Comparison with other fillers

Taking into account the fact that the popularity of injection cosmetology is gaining momentum every day, manufacturers are producing more and more different fillers to create the ideal image.

Only a cosmetologist can make the right choice among all products, taking into account the individual characteristics of the client.

Juvederm Ultra is often compared to Surjiderm or Princess. If we consider the first analogue, then it significantly loses in terms of the shelf life of the effect, but the advantages include a wider range of tasks to be solved.

When comparing with Princesses, there are also several pros and cons. Juvederm injections do not require the additional use of an anesthetic, because they contain lidocaine. But the result from two different fillers is almost identical.

Answers on questions

How long does the effect of Juvederm injection last?

On average from 8 months to a year. After lip augmentation - only six months.

Is it possible to remove already injected filler?

It is quite possible to correct or remove all of Juvederm. To do this, you need to introduce a product containing hyaluronidase.

A few hours later, swelling and bruising were noticed at the site of the injection. What measures need to be taken?

Nothing bad happens, this is the norm. If after two days the detected defect does not go away on its own, you need to make an appointment with a therapist or the cosmetologist who gave the filler injection.

No need to worry if you notice a bruise

Are there any restrictions after getting a Juvederm injection?

After the procedure, the swimming pool, solarium, sauna, and exposure to direct sunlight are prohibited for a week. During the first few days, the injection site may itch and be red, but this will go away with proper treatment of the skin.

Which drug is of better quality - Juvederm or Princess ?

According to experts, Juvederm. Of course, “Princesses” is also a good product, and noticeably cheaper. However, Juvederm contains lidocaine. And thanks to this component, it is possible to avoid conduction anesthesia and reduce the chances of additional correction. Juvederm also lasts longer, and the manufacturer cleans it more thoroughly, ensuring higher quality. Be that as it may, it is up to the patient to decide.

Which Juvederm is best for your lips?

This is determined by the desired result. To create large volume, emphasize the contour and to “unfold” the lips, the thick Juvederm Ultra Smile gel is most suitable. And for a natural and slight lip augmentation, it is better to use Juvederm Volbella, which is amazingly suitable for very young ladies.

It is necessary to select a specific drug for a specific case

Which drug is most suitable for making your face fuller?

Juvederm Voluma can help here: it works longer and better, eliminating even the largest losses of facial volume.

What is the reason for the higher price of Juvederm Ultra compared to plain Juvederm or Surgiderm , although the effect is the same?

Although these drugs are produced alone, this is its newest development. This product option is produced using higher quality technology.

Additional properties increase the overall price of Juvederm filler

Let us quote the French specialist Hervé Raspaldo, the best plastic surgeon, a professional in various anti-aging techniques, a member of the European and American Academies of Facial Surgeons:

“Recently, a product has appeared that has provoked major changes in our work - Juvederm Ultra. The components include not only hyaluronic acid, but also lidocaine. And this is a painkiller that is effective from the very injection. And now the patient’s free time and the doctor’s office hours are not spent waiting half an hour for the anesthetic to take effect. The patient also does not feel any discomfort, and thanks to this he can relax. The face remains calm, its features are not distorted by unnecessary facial expressions, which allows you to treat the problem area as carefully as possible. Moreover, to process some of them you just need jeweler's precision of work. Juvederm Ultra is also good because of its structure - it is a very smooth gel. Therefore, such a product can be administered freely, it does not require pressure, and it also disperses into the tissues very easily. In short, the drug has a lot of advantages - it is completely safe, patients like it, and is easy to use.”

What does the drug contain?

The popular filler Juvederm is based on hyaluronic acid.

But this acid is not of animal origin, which significantly reduces the risk of allergies to dermal filler.

Features of hyaluronic acid

Fillers based on hyaluronic acid are in great demand among competent cosmetologists for a reason. The fact is that the human body produces this substance itself in some quantities and uses it to restore tissues and regulate their activity. Therefore, our body calmly accepts additional doses of hyaluronic acid injected under the skin, without trying to reject it in any way.

By the way, hyaluronic acid is used not only by cosmetologists; doctors of various specialties use this substance to treat diseases.

What do patients say?

Marina, Samara

“I am extremely delighted with Juvederm Ultra Smile. Everything was perfect - both the injection itself, during which there was not the slightest pain, and the result. Conventional fillers are injected only under preliminary anesthesia, but this does not completely eliminate problems with the sensations of the injection. But this remedy makes up for everything. And what lips they turn out like - just lovely!”

The girls are happy with the procedure

Antonina, Moscow

“Every year I get Juvederm injections to get rid of wrinkles. The result is noticeable for a long time, the skin is fresher, the face is significantly rejuvenated.”

Inna, Makhachkala

“After trying various products to fill wrinkles, I settled on Juvederm. The cost-quality-expiration date ratio suited me perfectly. There is not the slightest flaw among the effects. And also, during the injection there is absolutely no pain.”

Judging by the reviews, Juvederm almost never produces side effects

Alena, Vladivostok

“I’m only 24, but I’m already noticing small wrinkles on my face. I don't like it, of course. At any age, it's nice to look a little younger. I’m afraid to use Botox and similar products, so I settled on fillers. The doctor recommended that I use Juvederm because it rarely causes side effects and is suitable for young girls. The effect is truly wonderful! I can’t say that I have noticeably rejuvenated, simply because I constantly take care of my skin and I haven’t had any significant age-related changes. But the fact that the wrinkles are completely gone is for sure! Magic! I didn't expect such an effect. I don’t think that I will have to repeat the procedure in the coming years, but if necessary, I will definitely use Juvederm. By the way, there was no pain or side effects.”

Price for the procedure

The cost of invasion is quite high.
Approximate price: from 10,000 to 35,000 per session. However, contouring with fillers such as Voluma, Volift and Volbella will cost even more.

The final amount, in addition to the type of filler, is also affected by the reputation of the clinic, the level of qualifications of the cosmetologist, the quality of the accompanying materials used and the location relative to the development of infrastructure.

In Moscow, prices are always higher than in the provinces.

Analogues of Juvederm

Not every woman is ready to spend a large amount of money on Juvederm contouring. Is it possible to replace it with similar drugs and is it worth doing?

There are a number of hyaluronic fillers that are similar in effect to Juvederm fillers. This:

• Radiesse;
• Teosyal;
• Surgiderm 24 xp;
• Perlane;
• Belotero;
• Restylane.

As an analogue, you can consider the American-made Radiesse drug. It does not contain hyaluronate, but in terms of effectiveness and safety it is close to the above products and provides the same long-lasting results.

What to choose - Radiesse or Juvederm? The difference between them is quite significant. Radiesse is a very viscous filler and is not used for treating the lips and infraorbital area, correcting fine wrinkles and folds on the neck. For these areas, Juvederm remains the leader.

When deciding which filler to prefer - Juvederm or Belotero, pay attention to the concentration of hyaluronate. Belotero gels give a good lifting effect, but Juvederm has a wider range of products, allowing you to choose a remedy for any problem.

It is even more difficult to choose Teosil or Juvederm. The drugs are similar in all respects and are almost identical, although in each specific case they may manifest themselves differently. Therefore, do not worry about choosing analogues, but entrust it to a specialist.
