What is juvederm best for? i know juvederm works for nasolabial folds and marionette lines, but does it do the best job there or are there other areas where it works better? and are there other fillers that work better in nasolabial folds?

Juvederm : Juvederm is certainly a good filler and can be used in may areas of the face. Restylane (dermal fillers) is a similar product (hyaluronic acid) that is made by a different company. I also use Radiesse in the nasolabial fold and marionette lines. Radiesse tends to last the longest of the three but all three can be used depending on the situation.

Commonly : Commonly many people like to use products like juvederm in the regions that you mentioned because it is a reversible product. Other products that work well are perlane, due to greater particle size than juvederm, and radiesse, (dermal fillers) that has a very high g' (meaning that it has a high push back. I do not use permanent fillers as permanent products have come and gone, but the products remain in some happy patients - and some unhappy ones. Hopefully this help you to find your answer.

Juvederm : Juvederm is a hylauronic acid product similiar to that found in the skin. Although this product is manufactured, it acts in a similiar manner to hold water within the skin. Think of it as a sponge or plumper. Thus, the best place for it will be around the mouth to fill vertical lines and augment the red part of the lips. It can be used to soften the nasolabial folds or lines next to the mouth. It can also be placed in combo with other products to offer optimal results.

Juvederm : Juvederm is a hyaluronic-acid based dermal filler used for filling of facial wrinkles, lines, folds and augmentation of facial areas where augmentation is desired, such as lips, cheeks, etc. Juvederm is very safe and without potential for allergic reaction to the best of my knowledge. Results are very satisfying and last 1-2 years or rarely more.

Fillers : Fillers will vary according to skin type, thickness, and pigmentation. Juvederm works excellently in the lips and nasolabial folds. However, i commonly use perlane, restylane, (dermal fillers) Radiesse and even artefill in the nasolabial folds as well with excellent results.

Fillers: There are many fillers on the market now. Which is best is really preference. Have your face evaluated by a board certified facial plastic surgeon.
