Juvederm vs Restylane

Steven Hacker, 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?

This is a very simple question with a simple answer: the best one is the one your doctor feels most comfortable using. In other words, they are very similar but have properties unique to each other that become "user" dependent. I would suggest posing the following question to your dermatologist or plastic surgeon: "For my skin and based on your experience, what is better for me, Restylane or Juvederm?" versus telling him what you think might be better.

Your practitioner will recommend what he is best at and most comfortable with and what he feels you will do the best with...that is the answer you are looking for.
