Amount of filler in a syringe?

What is the physical size of Juvederm, Restylane, and Radiesse syringes? Also, how much actual HA can each syringe contain as opposed to anesthetic or other substances? Thank you!

A: Volumes of fillers

Otto Joseph Placik, MD

Of the currently available fillers, only Prevelle silk and Zyderm/Zyplast/Cosmoderm/Cosmo plasty are packaged with anesthetic agents. Nearly all are packaged in 1cc  ( with a little extra) vials with the following exceptions: Prevelle is 0.75 cc Juvederm is 0.8cc Cosmoplast is available in 1.5cc... more

A: Restylane actually has 1.15cc per syringe as it is overfilled-Juvederm is only 0.8cc

Joel Schlessinger, MD

With Restylane and Perlane, you get a little bonus with an overfilled syringe.  The company states it has only 1cc, but you actually get 1.15cc total.  On the other hand, with Juvederm, you get what they say you get, 0.8cc.  That means that you get about 27% more of Restylane and Perlane for... more

A: Prevelle volumes

Steven H. Williams, MD

There's also Prevelle which is 0.75 cc per syringe and is mixed with lidocaine. As the other providers have mentioned it is not just the volume that produces the results.  Talk to a board certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist. Steve Williams, MD

A: Volume of Juvederm, Restylane, Radiesse in One syringe

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD

Volume of Juvederm, Restylane, Radiesse per syringe The volumes of each filler is preset in a sterile syringe.  They are as follows: Juvederm: 0.8 cc Radiesse: 1.3 cc Restylane: 1.0 cc Hope this helps.

A: Fillers

Steven Wallach, MD

As the other doctors wrote, each one is supposed to correct about the same amount however each syring is filled to a different total volume.  Some have more water  in them than others. Total volume:  radiesse 1.3 cc's, juvederm 0.8 cc, and restylane 1 cc.

A: Amount and Concentration of Facial Fillers in a Syringe

Michael A. Persky, MD

Hi gg, Restylane usually comes in 1.1 to 1.2 cc quantities per syringe.  The concentration of actual hyaluronic acid varies from product to product.  Restylane has 20 mg/ml hyaluronic acid.  Perlane is the Restylane product with a higher concentration of HA.   Juvederm Ultra has... more

A: important differences

Richard Baxter, MD

This is a deceptively complicated question. One reason is that the 0.8 cc syringe of Juvederm gives the same correction as 1.0 cc of Restylane, for about the same cost, and they last about the same in my experience. (Some of the HA is there just to help the flow of the product with injection, and that part... more

A: About 1cc in each without the anesthetic

Toby G. Mayer, MD

They have from 0.8cc(Juvederm) to 1.3cc (Radiesse), but they are used to correct different problems. I use Juvederm for lines like those of the lip. I use Radiesse for depressions like the naso-labial grooves. Radiesse is not made for the lips. I do not use Restylane any longer. I feel my patients get longer... more

The actual sizes in volume or miligrams of filler syringes are easily available through a web search. How good wrinkle correction is achieved is determined by several factors including the amount of filler used and injection expertise among other factors. It is the questions you have not asked that interest me. Radiesse boasts about their larger volume in their marketing materials but Radiesse may not be used in certain areas. Restylane has more volume per syringe than Juvederm but Juvederm will last longer. There is a practice model that charges a set price for correction of wrinkles and not a price per syringe of product used. The strong argument for this is that there is a value attached to the physician's expertise and not just how much product is used. I find it persuasive.
