Does Resylane have better results than Juvederm? I have already tried that and the results were not as I expected.
Those folded over corners can present quite a challenge to even the most experienced injector. Juvederm would be last on my list to fix this. I prefer something with more substance. I use Restylane often as I am usually using rest of syringe in lips etc. If I am not doing lips I might use perlane or even Radiesse. What I choose depends m upon whether I will use the rest of syringe in other areas and on the depth of the creases. There is not one good filler for the area. How the material is used is of utmost importance.
Are other skin rejuvenating procedures such as laser or Juvederm just as effective for the upper lip?
The lips can be treated with Restylane or Juvederm. I prefer Restylane for this as I like that it is slightly more firm than Juvederm. However, I think that what you might be asking about are the lines above the pink part of the lip. I do prefer Restylane for this but you can use Juvederm. I would not use Radiesse but would use Sculptra if done by a very experienced injector.
I had juvederm injected under my eyes 18 months ago, about 3 weeks ago I had the dissolving agent injected to remove small bumps, it seems to have removed the remaining juvederm leaving me with dark circles and bags under my eyes again. I am considering using restylane instead. Is this recommended ? Are there any side effects that can happen my mixing the two fillers?
Restylane is my favorite for under the eyes. Juvederm can leave a purple hue as the skin is very thin here and there is no space to inject this more '":deeply". There is no problem injecting one after the other, even five minutes after, so go and enjoy. Just make sure that whoever does this is experienced.
