Botox versus Restylane Pricing

Sam Jejurikar, MD answers: Is Restylane a lot more expensive than Botox?

I can't decide on which treatment to get because it seems that Restylane is better than Botox. I'm not so sure that I want my face paralyzed. I also want to know, does Restylane cost a lot more than Botox?

Hi,

As you know, Botox and Restylane are very different products and have different benefits.  Botox is an agent that paralyzes facial muscles - it's particularly good for smoothing forehead wrinkles, treating frown lines and crow's feet, and raising the brows.  Restylane is a filling agent and is really good for treating marionette lines, nasolabial folds, filling eyelid hollows and plumping the lips.

Rather than focusing on pricing, it would be best to decide what one or two things bother you the most.  You can then find out from your physician what the relative cost for treating each area would be; prices vary greatly depending on your location.

Hope this helps.  Best of luck.
