Juvederm Ultra, Juvederm Ultra Plus

Juvederm is the first HA filler that should give Restylane some competition. Juvederm swells less than Restylane and feels softer. Early indications are that it may last longer than Restylane, but the jury is still out. Juvederm is a great choice for volumizing the lips. Dr. Lupo was an investigator for the FDA approval of this product and is one of the most experienced injectors of Juvederm. She is an instructor for Allergan and introduced Juvederm to Australian physicians in February, 2007 and was invited to Canadian Cosmetic Update to discuss this filler with non-US physicians.

There are many options for the patient wishing to refill and reshape their face.

No one FDA approved filler can be all things to all patients. It is of critical importance to consult with a dermatologist or plastic surgeon with years of experience and a reputation for excellence. Dr. Mary Lupo is an acknowledged leader, teacher, and innovator in utilizing a combination of fillers to improve the aging face without surgery. Dr. Lupo often combines different fillers in the same patient, and complements the benefit with the addition of Botox and laser or peel treatments.
