Juvederm and Restylane are both hyaluronic acid fillers

Scott Trimas, MD answers: Juvederm vs Restylane?

From what i can tell juvederm is maybe better than restylane because it lasts longer. Is this true? Are there other things i should take in to account before choosing juvederm or restylane?

Juvederm and Restylane are both hyaluronic acid fillers. While there are some minor differences between the two products as far as viscosity or thickness is concerned as well as concentration of active ingredient, in all practicality they work similarly in the facial lines.

Both work effectively in the laugh lines and drool groove regions near the corners of the mouth. In the lips, I prefer juvederm due to its smoother consistency and less lumpiness there. In the areas under the eyes I prefer the restylane since it attracts water a little less and does not seem to cause any discoloration to the skin.

They both seem to have the same duration of effect and swelling and bruising are also similar in my experience.
