There are definitely differences between Juvederm and Restylane

In my practice I use these 2 fillers the most.  The one similarity is that both are hyaluronic fillers.  Also, know that there are 2 types of Juvederm - Ultra and Ultra Plus. 

Because of differences in the way Restylane and Juvederm are produced, they do not have identical properties when placed in the skin.  A good analogy is that Restylane fills like "jelly" whereas Juvederm fills like "Jell-o." 

An important consideration for me when choosing between the two is, where am I injecting the product?  There will be 3 important differences:  

• How it feels - especially in the lips
• The amount of swelling
• The size of the needle that can be used, which is especially relevant for correction of orbital hollows
