Is Restylane a lot more expensive than Botox?

Restylane and Botox are very different products and are used differently as well, which makes them hard to compare. Restylane is a filler which is primarily used to fill areas with a loss of volume where Botox relaxes muscle activity to smooth fine wrinkles. I would recommend consulting with your local... more

Retylane and Botox treat different types of wrinkles. The purpose and end results are so different that you can not really compare them in cost. It is like comparing a special occasion dress with a wear-to-work dress, and I can not really say which one is more expensive.

This seems to be a point of confusion in a lot of my patients. Facial fillers and Botox/Dysport are for different things. General rule of thumb is that Botox/Dysport is for lines in the upper half of the face and that Fillers are for folds on the lower half of the face. Fillers add volume to smooth out areas... more

Dear Thaley One does not have their face paralyzed with BOTOX. This product is used to soften some of the muscle to improve the lines, wrinkles and muscular ridging that occurs around the eyes.  The end point is not muscle freeze. Also the agents like BOTOX and the fillers like Restylane are fillers. They... more

They are like apples and oranges.  One treats deep facial lines, the other paralyzes muscles of animation.  Restylane is usually less expensive than Botox, it is all a personal choice. 

Botox is a wrinkle relaxer and is used on the upper face/forehead for the most part, while Restylane is a little more versatile as to where it is injected.  It is a filler and can only fill, but can't actually relax.  Typically, they should be used in conjunction, so the real answer is that both... more

Thaley you are comparing apples and oranges. You could ask which is more expensive - Restylane or Juvederm - both of which are (passive) WRINKLE FILLERS made up of water seeking Hyaluronic acid and made by different companies. Or - Radiesse, Captique or Cymetra - all of which are fillers as well. Botox on... more

    Really an unfair comparison since these two products do two different things. Restylane is a filler and it does just that: it fills in lines. It can perform wonders to improve such areas as the naso-labila folds ( smile lines) or marionette lines.      Botox, on the other... more

Hi, As you know, Botox and Restylane are very different products and have different benefits.  Botox is an agent that paralyzes facial muscles - it's particularly good for smoothing forehead wrinkles, treating frown lines and crow's feet, and raising the brows.  Restylane is a filling agent and is... more

Both are very different. Here is how you decide. Don't focus on price issues since you are comparing apples to oranges. Wrinkles in the uper one third of the face i.e, forehead, glabella and crows feet respond best to Botox or Dysport Grooves in the lower half of the face like nasolabial grooves (smile lines)... more
