 Depth of fill really should not have to vary for Restylane or Juvederm. They are both hyaluronic acid products.  Yes, they area  bit different, but no I do not think it makes a difference.  I would avoid being too superficial.

You are getting a bit too scientific about this and should consider these to be the same thing.  The companies make many claims about soft vs hard, longer lasting vs shorter lasting etc but essentially they are equivalent for your purposes and the injections are done the same way.
