August 2010 I paid $3.000. to have the upper jaw - temple areas of my face filled with juve-derm (supra). Now, allmost a full year later, the results are holding steady. When I had my procedure, my physician indicated that juve-derm has a 'potential', to stimulate the natural formation of replacement collagen. Interesting huh? My face looks pretty good so far.
Juvederm is an all natural substance. I have been happy with the results, thus far. As for the replacement collagen, only time will tell.

Congrats on the long last result! (expensive as it is)
I went to a clinic yesterday only to be laughed at. She said I was too obsessed and focused on the idea of atrophy and hiv-related weight loss. "You're aging naturally", she said :D $750, including 1ml of Juvederm, if I wanted to go thorugh with treatment anyway.

I have not tried the Juvederm, I did use Sculptra and I have it has lasted about 2 1/2 years now. I paid the injection fee and that was all Sculptra gives it to with Hiv who is fighting Lipodystrophy.
