Both of these products are excellent products, and like many of the other physicians in this forum, I use both. Both manufacturers try to convince physicians and patients that their own product is best, but they both DO have a role.
Because I am at an academic medical center, I tend to give lots of lectures. One of the points in one of my lectures is that one of the things a patient is seeing from their doctor is an OPINION about what's best for them. I use the two products for different applications and also interchangably for certain applications. But, I'd rather have a patient come in and help me understand what facial changes related to aging that they want me to assess and "correct" then allow me to make a recommendation and explain why I made the recommendation THAN have someone come in and tell me they "want Juvederm" or that they "want Restylane".
Rather than having a preconceived notion of "what you want", see what your doctor recommends and WHY he or she recommends a particular product.
