Searching for the best facial filler to smooth out your smile lines? Or are you trying to choose the most effective filler to lift your cheeks and add extra fullness? With all of the different facial fillers available today, it can be a stressful task to decide which is best for tackling your unique cosmetic concerns. Dermal fillers come in various formulas, all offering different molecular sizes, textures, consistencies, and results. Furthermore, factors like placement and longevity are qualities to consider when choosing the best facial filler to address your beauty goals.
Essentially, the formula best for your aesthetic goals will depend upon the area you are treating, the volume you add, and the depth and severity of the wrinkles and lines you are filling. Regardless of which filler you ultimately decide upon, facial fillers are an easy and affordable way to make subtle changes to your appearance with long-lasting, natural-looking results.
Keep reading as we breakdown the different types of facial fillers and what sets them apart so you can confidently decide which ones are best suited for addressing your beauty concerns.
What Beauty Concerns Can Facial Fillers Correct?
Facial fillers are a convenient and effective way to address a wide range of beauty concerns while enhancing natural beauty. Fillers such as Juvéderm are made of hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance found in the body. HA dissolves naturally and gradually over time and is an affordable way to attain immediate, natural-looking results.
Within the Juvéderm collection, each filler offers different benefits that correct the following concerns:
- Smooths fine lines and wrinkles
- Reverses mid-face volume loss
- Adds fullness and volume to lips
- Softens lip lines and wrinkles
- Adds volume to under eye hollows
- Improves chin definition and contour
- Lifts and contours the cheeks
Dermal fillers are an easy way to delay the signs of aging with visible, immediate results. Unlike cosmetic surgery, dermal fillers are painless and require no downtime or recovery time.
Best Dermal Fillers for Plumping Your Pout
Individuals with naturally thinner lips or those with age-related volume loss in their lips are great candidates for dermal lip filler. Aside from adding fullness, there are additional reasons why someone would want to get lip filler to enhance their appearance. These reasons include:
- Correcting lip asymmetries
- Adding more fullness and hydration
- Reversing volume loss
- Reducing appearance of fine lines on lips and mouth area
- Defining lip shape and Cupid’s Bow
Juvéderm Ultra and Juvéderm Volbella are two fillers ideal for enhancing the lips and correcting the concerns above. Juvéderm Ultra is a great option for adding natural-looking volume to the lips. Thanks to Ultra’s special formulation, individuals can add noticeable definition to their lip shape and Cupid’s Bow and balance their lip proportions. This formulation is also one of the only Juvéderm fillers that can most effectively absorb water to create a “plumping effect.” On average, Ultra can last up to 12 months.
The second type of filler, perfect for rejuvenating the pout, is Juvéderm Volbella. Volbella contains a lower hyaluronic acid concentration and is the thinnest Juvéderm formula. As a result, its thin consistency spreads easily and is perfect for enhancing the lips. Aside from plumping the lips, Volbella also works wonders to reduce the appearance of perioral lines or “lipstick lines” and lip wrinkles around the mouth and lips. With Volbella, lips instantly appear smoother and plumper for up to 12 months.
Overall, Juvéderm Ultra and Juvéderm Volbella are both great options for adding extra volume, smoothing away the signs of aging, and restoring harmony and balance to the face.
Best Dermal Filler for Correcting Hollow Under Eyes
Looking to improve under eye darkness and hollowness? With Juvéderm Volbella, you can instantly improve your tired-looking appearance and achieve a more refreshed and awake look.
As we mention above, Volbella’s formula contains the lowest hyaluronic acid concentration. This makes Volbella the perfect filler for treating more delicate areas such as the lips and under-eye area. Its thin gel consistency spreads easily and treats smaller surface areas like the under eyes. When you inject Volbella under the eyes, it gently restores lost volume to sunken under-eye hollows and creates a smooth transition from the undereye to the cheek area. Volbella results can last up to one year.
Best Dermal Filler for Contouring the Cheeks and Midface
When it comes to age-related volume loss, the cheeks and midface tend to be the first areas to flatten and lose the plumpness they once had. Juvéderm Voluma is the best dermal filler for larger face areas, such as the midface.
Voluma is Juvéderm’s thickest and strongest formula, making it the number one choice for adding volume to the midface and lifting and contouring the cheek area. Due to its high hyaluronic acid concentration, it is highly effective in adding volume over bony areas of the face, such as the cheeks. Additionally, this filler can effectively improve moderate to severe hollowing of the temples. Voluma is one of the longest-lasting fillers in the Juvéderm collection, with results lasting up to 2 years.
Best Dermal Filler to Boost Skin’s Radiance and Hydration
Unlike other Juvéderm fillers that focus on changing and enhancing the appearance of the face, a new kind of hyaluronic acid injectable helps enhance the appearance of the skin. Skinvive is a hyaluronic acid microdroplet injectable that improves skin’s smoothness and hydration for a more dewy, youthful glow.
With Skinvive, you place droplet injections superficially into the cheeks. Its formula diffuses into an even layer of the skin, smoothing subtle lines, hydrating dry skin, and boosting overall radiance. This injectable also stimulates collagen production in the skin, improving elasticity and reducing wrinkles’ appearance. Skinvive results are visible immediately, with full results developing within a few weeks. Results last up to 6 months.
Best Dermal Filler for Creating a More Defined Chin
Juvéderm Voluma is the top contender for improving the shape of the chin and balancing the profile. Aside from contouring the cheeks, this long-lasting filler is the preferred option for contouring the chin. Voluma’s formula consists of a higher concentration of hyaluronic acid. As a result, its thicker gel consistency effectively adds volume over bony surfaces such as the chin and cheeks.
When you inject Voluma into the chin, it adds projection and fullness, improving its overall shape. Increasing chin projection also causes the nose to appear smaller and can even help diminish the appearance of jowls.
Unlike surgical chin enhancements such as a chin implant, Voluma provides individuals with a more cost-efficient way to shape and define the chin and balance their jawline. Results are instant, there is little to no pain, no downtime,, and far less risk for side effects. Best of all, Voluma is long-lasting, with results lasting up to one year.
Best Dermal Filler for Smoothing Wrinkles and Smile Lines
Thanks to dermal filler’s multi-purpose composition, saying goodbye to smile lines, wrinkles, and folds has never been easier. Two popular dermal fillers best known for smoothing smile lines and facial wrinkles are Juvéderm Ultra Plus and Juvéderm Vollure.
Ultra Plus is a top-performing filler for individuals looking to smooth and soften the appearance of moderate to severe facial wrinkles such as laugh lines, smile lines, or “marionette lines” around the nose and mouth. This formula is a thicker version than Juvéderm Ultra and adds substantial volume to help fill in deeper folds. Its firmer consistency also means it is less likely to spread. Ultra results can last up to 12 months.
Juvéderm Vollure is another option for achieving a smoother appearance by softening parentheses lines, nasolabial folds, and deep marionette lines. Vollure’s formulation has a medium consistency. Its medium thickness allows it to hold its shape without spreading when injected into more severe nasolabial folds and wrinkles. However, since Vollure is not too thick, it is soft and flexible enough to allow natural facial movement and expressions. Vollure can last up to 18 months.
