Lip Fillers

They are medical devices that are made up of multiple different substances, most commonly Hyaluronic acid (HA) and Hydroxyapatite. They are used for adding volume to the face. Most people are familiar with; Lip fillers (any HA), Cheek Fillers, Marionette Lines and Nasolabial Folds (any HA or Hydroxyapatite).

This will be determined by the professional who sees you.
In general if your concern is related to loss of volume, such as thin lips, dropping face, saggy skin or deep folds, then it is likely that fillers will be the right treatment for you.

The main difference is that Juvaderm is a HA (hyaluronic acid) filler and Radiesse is Hydroxyapatite filler which besides providing the most projection (less product needed to achieve the desired results), stimulates collagen production and elastin.

This will depend on what product you use and how much filler is needed to achieve the results you want.
