Juvederm vs. Botox

Juvederm helps treat wrinkles and folds that resulted from a loss of volume beneath the surface of the skin. Juvederm is also made of natural material that is used to fill in deep wrinkles and add volume on the face. Botox, however, is used to treat lines that are caused by repetitive muscle activity and to relax that muscle activity and filler only fills in areas where volume is lost. Despite the differences, it is very common to combine both of these treatments together for long-lasting and significant results.

Procedure

The treatment for Juvederm is relatively quick and painless. Dr. David Shokrian will begin by examining your facial appearance and the areas that will be injected. After examination, he will clean the areas of the injection site with an antibacterial wipe. If desired, a patient can choose to receive numbing cream for more comfort. However, several patients say it is relatively painless and is easily tolerated. This procedure is about 15 minutes long with immediate results afterwards.

Recovery and Results

After treatment, expect minor tenderness, swelling, and redness that may last for a few days. Results can be seen almost immediately.
