If you’ve lived in Chicago for an extended period, you’ve probably heard of facial fillers. While Botox seems to be the most popular and sought-after product, there are many options and each has its own use and benefits. Both Voluma and Juvederm are facial fillers that can enhance your facial area.
How Are They Similar?
Both products are used in the face, and both contain hyaluronic acid. However, that is where most of the similarities stop. Because both contain hyaluronic acid, there is no allergy testing required, since the acid is already found in the human body.
How Are They Different?
Each product is used in a different part of the face. For example, Juvederm can enhance your nasolabial folds and eliminate marionette lines. It can also be utilized for the lips. For a lip treatment, a numbing agent is used first, so you have little to no pain or discomfort. The process takes about 20 minutes total, and you can go back to work or run errands immediately afterward.
Voluma is one of many dermal fillers but is used in the cheeks. Because it is thicker and fuller, it can penetrate the deeper areas and enhance them quite nicely. Many women in Chicago notice the aging process when their cheeks lose volume in the apple of the cheek, which is where most women have the filler. However, your doctor will determine the best placement of the filler to plump up the areas that need it most.
Also, Juvederm will last for about one year, or a little less, while the other filler can last up to two years. Of course, you probably use your lips and mouth more frequently than your cheeks, which can make a difference as to how long the product will last.
