Botox, Juvederm, and Radiesse set the standard for injectables

New injectables - Worth it?

Of all the new injectables coming out (Evolence, Prevelle, Reloxin, etc.), which ones are working the best?  Are they better than what is already out there (Botox, Juvederm, etc.)?

Overall, when I see these new products coming out of Europe, I do not see any that are better than what is currently being used. The gold standard is still set by Botox, Juvéderm and Radiesse.

Evolence is based on porcine collagen, and I think it is a step backward. The industry is going away from using animal products. Why go backwards? Evolence lasts 6 or 7 months, but so does Juvéderm and Radiesse lasts 10 months to a year.

Reloxin produces results similar to Botox and is being used in Europe. There are claims that its effects last up to a month longer than Botox. It is very interesting to keep an eye on but also to wait to see if it meets our safety standards in the US.
