Radiesse Versus Juvederm

Both Radiesse and Juvederm are capable of producing excellent and natural looking results. The choice of filler really depends on the objective of the treatment. Juvederm is a hyaluronic acid filler which hydrates and augments tissue. It is ideal for lip enhancements as well as wrinkles. Radiesse is made of calcium hydroxyapatite particles which allows it to provide a greater degree of firmness and support for designated treatment areas. It is ideal for filling creases and issues that... more

Benefites and Side Effects of Radiesse Vs Juvederm?

I use both Radiesse and Juvederm but they are not comparable IMHO. Juvederm is thinner and meant to be injected into the layers of the skin for lip augmentation and shallow NLF's. Radiesse and Perlane are thicker fillers that can be placed into the deeper fatty tissues for deep NLF's and facial shaping of the cheeks, chin and jaw line. It's importnat to remember that there's no inmherent magic in any filler. The magic must reside in the MD's... more

Choosing Radiesse vs Juvederm

When comparing Radiesse to the hyaluronic acid fillers such as Juvederm, it is important to understand the difference between "stimulatory" fillers and "wrinkle" fillers”. When treating problems due to volume loss such as cheek hollows and sagging skin, I will almost always use stimulatory fillers such as Radiesse.

Radiesse vs. Juvederm

If a patient has had fillers before or if they are sure about what they want I will use different fillers as I feel they are best used for the specific need. I sometimes prefer Restylane and Perlane as my fillers for first timers. There is some overlap where I might use either/or and then do what the patient prefers after discussing the pros and cons. Radiesse lasts longer and is more cost effective when treating deep coarse lines or when trying to replace fairly large amount of volume. It... more

Radiesse vs Juvederm or Restylane

For first timers receiving a filler, I will always use Juvederm or Restylane/Perlane. As mentioned previously, if there is any concern with the appearance, it can be treated and removed easily. Furthermore, Juvederm and Restylane last up to 6 months, and Radiesse up to a year; I think that patients should be experienced with the appearance of fillers from a previous treatment before seeking the longer-lasting filler. Some say that Radiesse can cause a more... more

Radiesse and Juvederm are both good products.

Radiesse and Juvederm are both good fillers. Cosmetic surgeons have different opinions on which they prefer. Most will agree that Juvederm is better for the lips and underneath the eyes. Many surgeons use either for the cheeks. My personal opinion is that I prefer Juvederm (and Restylane). They are each a hyaluronic acid gel. The advantages of this is that some or all of it can be instantly dissolved if you have a small bump or, for some reason you are not completely happy with the... more
