Restylane is an excellent filler in an entire world of fillers ( Ranging from Collagen to hyaluronic acids (Restylane, Perlane,Juvederm) to Radiance and Sculptra and your own Fat).

The advantages of hyaluronic acids are they are soft, lift, and can be used under the dermis and deeper to obtain a nice result that lasts 3 - 12 months depending on the particle size and location of injections.

I am a platinum user of both Restylane and Juvederm. I determine when I use Restylane based on how much product the patient needs and where they want it injected.  It is stil the best to line the lips and to get the "Paris Lip" look and works well in the nasolabial folds. I do not use any filler between the eyebrows. I use only Botox there because of the very slight risk of Blindeness from injection into a vessel in the area.
