Evolence Vs. Juvederm: Which is Better?

Is Evolence The Dermal filler really made from PIGS? I am a bit uncomfortable with the idea of pig remains in my face and lips. Are there problems unique to this product that don't exist with other fillers? What is the advantage over Juvederm? A doctor in my area, Raleigh, NC offers Evolence injections for a lot less than I'm paying another office for Juvederm. I like the lower price but I'm a little nervous.

Evolence has been pulled

Evolence, a collagen filler derived from pigs, showed considerable promise but was pulled from marketplace due the company having inadequate funding to market the product successfully. Therefore, Juvederm remains one of the premier fillers on the market (along with Restlane and Radiesse).

It tends to last longer than Juvederm and Restylane, on average around 1 year. It tends to hurt a bit more, so good anesthesia (ice, local anesthetic etc) is important. One problem with evolence is that there is no way to dissolve it (other than time), if you're not happy with it; hyaluronidase would not... more

Both are good but I use more restylane and juvederm

Unlike Restylane and Juvederm which are made from hyaluronic acid, Evolence is made from collagen and that collagen is derived from pigs. Pig (porcine) collagen has been used for many, many years as an injectable filler as the collagen found in pigs is very similar to that of humans. That said, some people prefer not to use an animal based product for religious (muslim or jewish) or ideological (vegetarian or animal-rights) reasons. The advantage to Evolence is that the price is lower and... more
