hello dr, will profraxil laser help at all around the laugh line area before i do juvaderm?

[DrNaderi]

@swagbucksgirl

Lasers do help with lines and skin elasticity but for most people fractionated lasers are too weak to do much for their laugh lines. Fillers like Juvederm give the area more of a lift by adding volume. But lasers can be used before or after the injections as long as you wait a few weeks in between the filler injection and the laser treatment.

Dr Naderi, how do you treat bags under the eyes? Do you use fillers for that?

[DrNaderi]

@thiemogamma Depends on the bag. If the lower eyelid bags are just extra fat then they have to be removed but if the bags "look like" bags because the area underneath called the tear trough is hollow then filling the tear troughs with Restylane can minimize the appearance of the bags. Each patient's lower eyelid bags are unique.

what age would be appropraite to have it done?

[DrNaderi]

@randomtube26

The most common age group for fillers to the laugh lines is in the 40's-60's but there are some patients who are in their 30's and need it and I have some 80 year old patients who want to look good and come in for fillers to their smile lines as well.

enjoy your youthful look and dont mess with your face.

Her skin already looks nice--it doesn't look prematurely wrinkled at all!

[DrNaderi]

@etamlous Good question. I used to use Artefill and I was one of the very first cosmetic surgeons in Northern Virginia to start using it but I prefer safer fillers like Juvederm, Restylane and Perlane. They have a lower risk of infection, lower risk of lumps and nodules and if a complication occurs, they are more treatable. I have seen patients from Europe who have had permanent fillers with permanent complications and problems and I want my patients to avoid problems.

[etamlous]

Is there a reason you don't use Artefill for laugh lines if it's considered most long lasting and "permanent" compared to all other fillers that last between 6 months to 2 years at most?

@babymandrake

Sleeping on your face and smiling give you smile lines. Some gorgeous young women with very full cheek bones will have smile lines and its not a big deal. Enjoy your life. Dont worry too much about the nasolabial folds. Use a good moisturizer to prevent the skin from cracking and think about Restylane once or twice a year but be careful.

Hi Dr. Naderi, could you recommend any lotion or activities that can help reduce smile lines? I'm 25 and I'm starting to notice the groove is getting deeper.. also I smile a lot which is why. I've been thinking about getting fillers but I'm not sure if I should do that at the current age. I read something about reducing cheek fat by exercising.. would that work?
