A study published by Allergan researchers earlier this year in the Aesthetic Surgery Journal demonstrated that Juvederm lasts up to a year. Study participants had nasolabial folds injected with Juvederm on one side and Zyplast (collagen) on the other but were blinded to which side was which.

The fact that the subjects preferred the Juvederm side and that its results lasted longer was no surprise.  What was more interesting was that on follow-up, when it was time to get a complimentary repeat injection, there was still a considerable difference on the Juvederm-treated side.  The proportion of nasolabial folds still showing a significant improvement beyond 1 year was 68% with Juvederm!  This finding resulted in the FDA approving Juvederm as lasting up to 1 year for facial wrinkles.
