Most docs charge the same for Restylane and Juvederm
Restylane and juvederm are both great fillers and most docs charge the same for both. Don't look at cost as much as experience the doc has. That is more important. They both run about $550 per syringe.

Juvederm
This answer might change depending on rebates and price shifts, but presently Restylane is less expensive. A syrnge of Restylane costs me $25 less than Juvedeerm Ultra. Plus there is a cost saving with the 2 cc syringe. Since the addition of Lidocaine, Juvderm Plus XC is now $25 more, but Medicis as held the line and the cost is the same for Restylane L.
However, you should consider other things than cost, and determine what does a better job for you and what filler you physician is more...

Juvederm or Restylane: Go to the specialist
Juvederm and Restylane have similar properties. Juvederm has 24 mg hyaluronic acid per ml, Restylane has 20 mg/ml. In my experience Juvederm gives a slightly better lifting effect. Anyway you sholuld see a specialist doctor for your treatment.

Restylane and Juvederm costs should be comparable
Most physicians should charge similar amount for Restylane vs. Juvederm. Do not fall into the temptation of making decision of what needs to be done for your face based on costs alone. Seek out a board-certified aesthetic physician with good reputation in your community.

Juvederm and Restylane Cost
It will really depend on the individual physician, but I charge the same for both procedures. They are very similar fillers in both their composition and effect, and product cost to the physician is essentially the same. Make sure whomever you are using is someone you trust, who is Board Certified in an accepted aesthetic speciality (such as Dermatology or Plastic Surgery) and has a great deal of experience with multiple fillers.

Juvederm or Restylane more expensive
There is a little appreciable difference in the cost between Restylane and Juvederm.There may be some relatively subtle differences in the products with regard to howlong they lasts as well as the desirable thickness of the substance in filling the creases or depressions. Since the cost differential is negligible, I base my decision for use more on my goal of obtaining the maximum results in each individual patient.

Fillers true cost is experience of injector
The real cost of the material is NOT SIGNIFICANT
What you should be concerned about is the injector, the qualified, experienced, artistic injector who knows what he/she are doing. and the one who may say you are not a candidate for a filler, and the one that does not look at you coming to the office as a $ sign.
The expense is the experience of the injector.

Cost of Restylane and Juvederm
The cost of Restylane and Juvederm is essentially the same. Both are hyaluronic acid facial fillers that are most appropriate for the lips. For the nasolabial folds, I usually recommend Radiesse for facial augmentation as it is a stimulatory filler with excellent long term effectiveness.

For the physician, it is Juvederm; for the patient it may be the same
Juvederm costs a little less to the doctor, but it contains less per syringe. On the other hand, Restylane and Perlane cost a little more, but you get 27% more in the syringe. I also tend to like them better, so you go with the filler you like. They are fairly equivalent, but I tend to think the Restylane/Perlane family look a little bit better than Juvederm, but these are minor, not major differences. Hope you like whatever you get!

Juvederm or Restylane for price
In my practice the syringes cost the same for me to inject. You are paying more for the expertise of the doctor and the artistry of the procedure than the product.

Costs of hyaluronic acid fillers
We use both restylane and juvederm. Our costs for restylane are slightly less than our costs for juvederm, but we tend to charge the same for both since they both are effective. The price can vary from time to time depending upon promotional discounts offered by the companies themselves as well and we typically pass these on to the patient. I hope this information helps.

It is not the filler, it is the FILLER!
There are many variables in how much a syringe will cost. I charge the same for both so that the patient is not swayed by price, but rather by my judgement as to which product is best for them. In the end, since both are safe and effective, the most important question is to the doctor: "do you do a lot of fillers and can you show me pictures of your results?"

Juvederm and Restylane
Very good question. They are both the same cost. $525.00 per syringe at this time.
Occasonally one company or the other has specials on these products.

Restylane and Juvederm cost about the same
Restylane/Juvederm Ultra and Perlane/Juvederm Ultra Plus are similarly priced in most areas. There are new versions of both with lidocaine to ease the discomfort on injection, and that has pushed the cost up a bit.
It is important to note that a 1 cc syringe of Restylane has the same amount of filler as a 0.8 cc syringe of Juvederm; the reason for the difference is that there is more of the uncrosslinked gel, which is there for flow properties, in the Restylane.
After that has absorbed...

Cost DIFFERENCE - Juvederm vs. Restylane
It really depends on what your Plastic Surgeon / Dermatologist decides to charge you.
We are charged a little less for Restylane (by Medicis) than for Juvederm (Allergan) AND Restylane has 1.0ml vs Juvederm's 0.8ml.
In my practice we chose to charge the same lower price for both Restylane and Juvederm to minimize such confusion.

Cost of fillers, Restylane and Juvederm
Our charge to our patients is the same per syringe cost for Restylane, Juvederm or Perlane. Only the physician performs the injections. They are approximately one cc syringes. The location and the patient's need will help us choose which filler to use.

Restylane is less expensive than Juvederm but doesn't last as long
Answer to your question is that Restylane is less expensive than Juvederm. But it also has a shorter effective period. That is why it costs less. From MIAMI
