DIFFERENCE BETWEEN JUVEDERM AND OTHER FILLERS

Dermal filler injections are some of the most popular services Rupesh provides at his Harley Street clinic. It is easy to understand why. Dermal fillers are minimally-invasive, safe, and extremely effective at counteracting volume loss that is a natural part of aging and a primary cause of wrinkles.

What is Juvéderm?

Juvéderm is an FDA-approved dermal filler made with hyaluronic acid that restores volume to the skin, lifting and smoothing wrinkles and other fine lines. There are four types of Juvéderm fillers we offer that are used to resolve different issues: Juvéderm Voluma and Juvéderm Volbella, Juvederm Volift and Juvederm Volite.

While Juvéderm Voluma is used to add volume to the skin, Juvéderm Volbella is designed specifically to enhance the volume of the lips. Juvederm Volift is more lifting and Volite is used for hydrating upper layers of the skin. It contains lidocaine for more comfortable treatment, and the results last for up to a year.

Differences Between Juvéderm and Other Dermal Fillers

The active ingredient in Juvéderm is hyaluronic acid. This naturally existing sugar molecule is found in nearly every living organism. In the body, hyaluronic acid performs a number of important functions, like lubricating body joints, assisting with the transport of nutrients, and maintaining hydration within the skin.

Many other fillers we offer rely on different active ingredients. For example, Radiesse is an injectable form of calcium hydroxylapatite, which is a naturally-occurring mineral suspended in a water-based gel. Sculptra is an injectable form of poly-L-lactic acid.

What makes hyaluronic acid-based fillers like Juvéderm so attractive is that they are made out of a natural molecule already found in our skin, which maximizes compatibility and minimizes any chance of a negative reaction. This makes Juvéderm particularly popular with first-time patients.
