This is a question I’m asked nearly every day. The answer is: It’s not that simple.

Twenty years ago we had one injectable filler: collagen.

Today we have a plethora of fillers, all with their own specific properties that make each one great for a certain part of the face.

 

Here are the fillers we recommend at LeReve, and what I use each one for:

 

1. Juvederm Ultra / Ultra Plus – a very versatile filler to fill in wrinkles like the nasolabial folds.

 

2. Juvederm Voluma – a long-lasting filler to plump the cheeks (lasts up to 2 years!).

 

3. Juvederm Volbella – very fine filler to smooth lines around the mouth and gently plump the lips.

 

4. Juvederm Vollure – this is a very smooth injection that is great for lower face wrinkles like the nasolabial folds and marionette lines, also used along the jawline for a subtle lift.

 

5. Restylane-L – This versatile filler can be used for almost all indications. Lasts about 6-9 months.

 

6. Restylane Silk – FDA approved for injection in the lips, this soft filler can create a nice, pretty pout.

 

7. Restylane Lyft – interested in fuller and lifted cheeks? This is a less-expensive alternative to Juvederm Voluma.

 

8. Restylane Defyne and Refyne – these versatile fillers are made for parts of the face that move and have a lower risk of lumpiness than other fillers.

 

Remember to always choose either a hyaluronic acid filler (like the ones above) or Sculptra.

 

I do not recommend any of the other types of fillers, since they do not meet my standards of safety and efficacy.
