Juvederm vs Restylane, a bit like Coke vs Pepsi

Both Juvederm and Restylane are hyaluronic acid fillers, a gel based material that is the main constituent to the second layer of your skin, the dermis.

Which product is used depends on the area to be treated, patient, and physician preference.

Restylane and Juvederm safety is like Chevy and Ford safety--it's all in the driver!

Restylane vs Juvederm

I have used both extensively but personally prefer Restylane because I found in many patients that Juvederm caused more swelling than expected. That is just anecdotal though and not based on a scientific study.

Juvederm and Restylane are equally safe hyaluronic acid injectable gels.

In my opinion, not only are Juvederm (which is technically Juvederm Ultra) and Restylane equally safe, they are also equally effective, and equally long-lasting.

Many physicians, including myself, have a preference of one over the other. More important than the product is the skill level of your injecting clinician. When considering undergoing injectable filler treatments, always seek a qualified and experienced medical professional. Kindest Regards ~ Glenn... more

How does Juvederm compare to Restylane safety wise?

Both Juvederm and Restylane are safe and effective soft tissue fillers and you should do fine with either one. There is some talk about one creating more swelling than the other but frankly, I'm not convinced.
