Juvederm and other dermal fillers typically come in syringes. 1 syringe holds 0.8 cc of Juvederm. When I inject various folds of the face and body, I usually think in terms of syringes- how many do you need to fill the area to your satisfaction?
Juvederm/ Juvederm Ultra Plus/ Restylane/ Perlane/ Sculptra/ Radiesse/ Artefill is injected into folds of the face to fill them up and make them look softer and less deep. The nasolabial folds, or the “parentheses” lines of the face and cheek are commonly done. I can also inject the glabellar lines, which are the vertical lines between your eyebrows, as well as the “marionette lines“, which are the lines that go from the corner of your lip down towards your chin.
To fill up a shallow fold, I usually use only 1 syringe, 1/2 on the right and 1/2 on the left. If you have a deeper line or more areas, then you will need more syringes. You may want your fold to be completely gone, which may also require more syringes.
If you’re not certain, you can always start off with the minimum number of syringes, and get more syringes after looking at yourself in the mirror. You don’t have to get all 3 syringes at once- maybe get 1 syringe now, and more in the future. You can also come back another day, after looking at yourself for a week and see how things settle down.
Juvederm can last about 6-9 months, and Juvederm Ultra Plus lasts up to 12 months. There are several other options in dermal fillers, depending on your price point and how long you want the effect to last. The longest lasting is actually fat grafting, which processes your own body’s fat through liposuction, and is grafted back into you.
