Restore Volume and Smooth Wrinkles at Spruce Medispa
Juvederm & Restylane Dermal Fillers
If you've noticed lost volume, deepening lines, or a face that looks more tired than you feel, dermal fillers can help. At Spruce Medispa, we offer two of the most trusted filler families available: Juvederm and Restylane. Both are FDA-approved hyaluronic acid fillers with strong safety records and natural-looking results.
Hyaluronic acid is a substance your body already produces. It keeps skin hydrated, firm, and full. As we age, our natural HA levels drop, which is what leads to that hollowed-out look under the eyes, flatter cheeks, and lines that seem to get deeper every year. Juvederm and Restylane work by replenishing that lost volume from the inside out, restoring a more youthful appearance without surgery or significant downtime.

What Are Juvederm and Restylane?
Juvederm and Restylane are both families of hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers. Hyaluronic acid is a substance your body naturally produces that keeps skin hydrated, firm, and elastic. As we age, HA levels decline, leading to volume loss, sagging, and deeper lines.
When injected beneath the skin, both products instantly restore volume and smooth away wrinkles. They also attract and hold water molecules in the treated area, keeping skin looking plump and hydrated well beyond the day of your appointment. Because HA is something your body already recognizes, allergic reactions are very rare with either product.
Each brand includes several specialized formulations, and different products within each family are better suited for certain areas or concerns. During your consultation, we'll recommend the right product or combination of products for your needs.
What Areas Can Be Treated?
Juvederm and Restylane can address a wide range of concerns across the face. Popular treatment areas include:
- Lips: Add volume, definition, and symmetry for fuller, more youthful lips
- Cheeks: Restore lost volume and create a naturally lifted contour
- Nasolabial Folds: Smooth the lines running from the sides of your nose to the corners of your mouth
- Marionette Lines: Soften the lines extending downward from the corners of your mouth
- Under-Eye Area: Fill hollows and reduce shadowing for a more rested appearance
- Chin: Improve definition and balance facial proportions
- Jawline: Restore contour and sharpness for a more sculpted profile
- Vertical Lip Lines: Smooth fine lines above the upper lip
- Temples: Fill hollowness that develops with age for a more youthful facial shape
Juvederm vs. Restylane: What's the Difference?
Both brands deliver excellent, natural-looking results, so how do we choose? The decision usually comes down to the treatment area, your skin type, and the specific result you're after. Here's a quick breakdown:
Juvederm is made by Allergan and uses VYCROSS technology, a cross-linking process that creates an ultra-smooth, cohesive gel. This gives Juvederm a soft, fluid consistency that blends seamlessly into the skin. It tends to be a great option for lip augmentation and cheek volume, and some Juvederm products like Voluma are designed for longer-lasting results of up to 18-24 months in the right areas.
Restylane is made by Galderma and offers a slightly firmer gel consistency in many of its formulations. This can make certain Restylane products well-suited for areas that benefit from more structural support, like the under-eye area or fine lines. The Restylane family is also highly versatile, with products designed for everything from subtle lip enhancement to deeper volume correction.
In some cases, we may recommend using both brands together as part of a comprehensive treatment plan. Our injectors will always explain the reasoning behind any recommendation so you feel confident in your care.
How Long Do Results Last?
Results vary depending on the product used, the area treated, and individual factors like your metabolism and lifestyle. In general, you can expect:
- Lips: 6-12 months
- Nasolabial Folds and Marionette Lines: 9-12 months
- Under-Eye Area: 9-12 months
- Cheeks: 12-24 months depending on the product used
- Chin and Jawline: 12-18 months
Many patients schedule a touch-up before their results fully fade to keep their look consistent. We'll help you build a schedule that fits your goals and your budget.
Are Dermal Fillers Safe?
Juvederm and Restylane are both FDA-approved and have been used safely in millions of treatments worldwide. Because both are made with hyaluronic acid that your body naturally produces, the risk of allergic reactions is very low. Both are also reversible, which makes them worth considering if you want to try fillers without a long-term commitment.
Most of our patients are people who want to restore volume that's shifted with age, soften lines that have deepened over time, or enhance features like their lips or cheeks without going the surgical route. If that sounds like you, a consultation is the best next step. We'll review your medical history, talk through your goals, and give you an honest recommendation.
