What is the difference between Juvederm® and Botox®?
As we age, our skin loses its elasticity, volume, and hydration. Thanks to advancements in cosmetic filler technology, there is now an option for patients to temporarily restore lost volume, resulting in smoother, younger, healthier-looking skin.
Juvéderm is a ‘next generation’ of smooth, long-lasting dermal fillers, and the latest advancement in hyaluronic acid (HA) cosmetic filler technology. Over recent years, hyaluronic acid, a substance found naturally in the body, has become a favored compound for replenishing the areas of the face where the skin’s volume and fullness have been lost.
JUVEDERM®: WHAT TO EXPECT
This revolutionary new addition to the skin rejuvenation treatments available at the Center for Smart Lipo brings a variety of benefits for patients seeking to restore a more youthful appearance with fuller, lifted cheeks that also help to reduce the signs of aging below the eyes and around the cheekbones.
The Benefits of Juvederm
- Using a naturally occurring substance from the skin, Hyaluronic Acid (HA), Juvederm helps replenish some of what is lost with aging.
- The treatment has been clinically proven to last up to 2 years.*
- There is little to no downtime associated with treatment and most patients resume their normal daily routine within 24 hours.
Appropriate for patients 21 years of age and over, Juvederm creates a subtle lift by adding volume to all areas of the cheek and turning back the clock on age-related volume deficit.
Juvederm is a cosmetic injectable used to improve the look of fine lines and wrinkles and the overall appearance of the skin. Made of hyaluronic acid, Juvederm hydrates the skin, providing elasticity by stimulating the production of collagen and elastin. There are several different forms of Juvederm available, each with its unique application.
The duration of the effects of Juvederm will vary for each person, depending on their unique physiology and metabolism. The results also differ for each product, which are outlined below:
Juvederm® XC —Juvederm® XC effectively treats vertical lip lines, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and lines at the corners of the mouth. The results from a single Juvederm® XC treatment last up to a year.
Juvederm Volbella® XC — Juvederm Volbella® XC softens the appearance of lines around the mouth and increases fullness in the lips. Results from just one Juvederm Volbella® XC treatment last up to one year.
ederm Voluma® XC — Juvederm Voluma® XC instantly adds volume to the cheek area for clients over 21 years of age. Results from one treatment of Juvederm Voluma® XC can last up to two years.
The most common and effective use of Juvederm is to soften the areas around the mouth and nose, improving the contour of the face and providing a sort of facelift. While not adding too much to look unnatural, a balance is achieved between adding enough volume to smooth the wrinkles. It’s not just about smoothing a wrinkle or filling volume; the focus is to address the three-dimensional structure of the face.
Because of how Juvederm was created, there is minimal swelling after injections, and results can be seen immediately. Most clients do not require any topical anesthetic as very small needles are used with Juvederm. However, sometimes this option is available upon request. An alternative to anesthetic is placing ice or a cold pack on the area of injection immediately before injection. On top of that, Juvederm XC products have lidocaine added to them and immediately upon injection, the anesthetic begins to work.
While both provide similar results, Botox and Juvederm operate on different principles and work best on different types of wrinkles. Both are FDA-approved injectables used as anti-aging treatments.
Botox is a purified protein that relaxes the muscles causing wrinkles, folds, and fine lines. On the other hand, Juvederm is a line of fillers rather than a relaxer, that works by filling in the grooves and lines to eliminate wrinkles and fine lines and smooth the appearance of skin.
The types of wrinkles they work on are the biggest differences between Botox and Juvederm. Although both cosmetic treatments are effective for smoothing out the wrinkles and fine lines on your face, they do not work on the same type of wrinkles.
For the expression lines that develop as we age like the deep lines and wrinkles in the skin around the eyes and on the forehead, Botox is the best. Such as when you furrow your brow, squint your eyes, or smile, laugh, or frown, these wrinkles appear on movement. To create a slimmer appearance, it may be injected into the muscles of the jaw, or it may also be injected to soften the dimpling of the chin.
For wrinkles that are present when your face is at rest, Juvederm is more suitable. Made of hyaluronic acid, it is a smooth gel filler that can help replenish the areas of the face where the skin’s volume and fullness have been lost due to sagginess, age, or other reasons.
