Deciding Betweeen Restylane and Botox

Tanveer Janjua, 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?

Both are very different. Here is how you decide. Don't focus on price issues since you are comparing apples to oranges.

Wrinkles in the uper one third of the face i.e, forehead, glabella and crows feet respond best to Botox or Dysport

Grooves in the lower half of the face like nasolabial grooves (smile lines) or marionette (puppet) lines respond best to Restylane or Juvederm.

In terms of price Botox will cost you about 500 to 1000 for all the three areas in the upper third of the face. Restylane is usually charged by per syringe at 500 to 800 per syringe. The lines in the lower face will need 1 to 2 syringes meaning an expense of about 1000 to 1600.
