Elasty Filler vs Juvederm
Elasty is a Korean hyaluronic acid filler range sold in Europe and much of Asia. It comes in a few thicknesses, from a gel for fine lines to a dense one for volume, and the "Plus" versions have a numbing agent added. Juvéderm is the hyaluronic acid family used most widely in the United States. Both are the same kind of material and both can be dissolved, so the real differences are where you can get them and how much has been published about each.

The differences that matter
What is in the syringe
Elasty Filler
Cross-linked hyaluronic acid
Hyaluronic acid is a sugar your skin already makes. Cross-linking is what lets a gel hold its shape. The Plus versions add a numbing agent.
Juvederm
Cross-linked hyaluronic acid
The same class of material, with a numbing agent already included.
What the range covers
Elasty Filler
Three main thicknesses
Elasty F for finer lines, Elasty D for deeper folds, Elasty G for volume. Thicker gel, deeper placement.
Juvederm
Around seven products
Volbella at the soft end for lips, Voluma and Volux at the firm end for cheeks and jaw, others in between.
Where you can have it done

It is one of the most used filler brands worldwide.

How long it lasts
Elasty Filler
Months, up to about a year and a half
It varies with the thickness used and the area treated, and most of the figures published for this range come from the manufacturer.
Juvederm
Roughly one to two years
Same rule applies. Lips wear filler down fastest and cheeks keep it longest.
Can it be undone
Elasty Filler
Yes
Juvederm
Yes
What is actually known about each
Elasty Filler
A shorter published record
Elasty is marketed mainly on how the gel is manufactured. There is far less independent research behind it.
Juvederm
A long published record
Each product was tested in its own trials, area by area, and those results are public.
Buying it online
Elasty Filler
Sold direct to the public online
Filler is a prescription device meant to be injected by a trained practitioner. A syringe bought online has no clinic behind it if something goes wrong.
Juvederm
Widely counterfeited online
Fake syringes exist for every large brand. What you are buying is the treatment, not the box.
Side effects to expect
Elasty Filler
Bruising, swelling, tenderness
Lumps and unevenness happen, and they can be dissolved.
Juvederm
Bruising, swelling, tenderness
The same list, for the same reasons.
Cost
Elasty Filler
Usually cheaper per syringe
Korean fillers are generally priced below the big Western brands.
Juvederm
Usually more per syringe
Part of that price is the brand and the record behind it.
The at-home or drugstore version
Elasty Filler
A serum, and it is not the same
A serum holds water in the top layer of skin for a few hours, then washes off.
Juvederm
A serum, and it is not the same
Filler is placed millimetres down and holds its shape for months.
Who each suits
Elasty Filler
- Best for — Someone treated in a country where it is the standard local product.
- The mindset — You trust the clinic more than the label.
Juvederm
- Best for — Almost anyone in the US, and anyone treating an area for the first time.
- The mindset — Pick the product for the area, review it, adjust or dissolve.

Common questions
Questions Patients Ask
Is Elasty filler available in the United States?
No. Elasty is sold in Europe and much of Asia but not in the US, so American readers comparing the two are usually choosing between Juvéderm and a different brand.
Is Elasty as good as Juvéderm?
Both are cross-linked hyaluronic acid and both can be dissolved. Juvéderm has a much larger published record behind it, while Elasty is marketed mainly on how its gel is made.
Can Elasty be dissolved?
Yes. It is hyaluronic acid, so hyaluronidase removes it, usually within a day or two. That is true of any gel in this class.
Why is Elasty cheaper?
Korean fillers are generally priced below the big Western brands, which carry the cost of running their own trials product by product.
What do Elasty F, D and G mean?
They mark thickness. F is the finest and suits shallow lines, D handles deeper folds, and G is the densest and is used for volume.
Can I buy filler online and take it to a clinic?
No reputable clinic will inject a syringe you brought yourself. Filler is a prescription device, and the clinic has no way to confirm what is in an unknown box.
