At Tribeca Medspa in NYC we know that choosing the right filler is the first step towards achieving the smooth, plump, and youthful skin you desire. With a variety of options available, including Juvederm, Restylane, and the RHA Collection, this guide will help you understand the differences between these fillers and determine which one is best suited for your needs.
Understanding Dermal Fillers: The Basics
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments designed to restore lost volume, smooth lines, and enhance facial features. Most are comprised of a substance called hyaluronic acid (HA), a common skincare ingredient that is also naturally occurring in the body. This molecule is a humectant, and can absorb up to 1000x its weight in water, bringing hydration and volume wherever you desire it. While all fillers aim to achieve similar outcomes, their formulations and applications can vary, making some better suited for specific concerns than others.
Juvederm: The Versatile Choice
Juvederm is one of the most well-known families of hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers, celebrated for its versatility and long-lasting results. The Juvederm range includes:
- Juvederm Ultra XC: Ideal for adding volume to the lips and smoothing moderate to severe facial wrinkles.
