What is the difference between Restylane Lyft and Juvederm Voluma?

These are 2 very different products.  Restylane Lyft is a true lifting agent with a coefficient of lifting twice that of Voluma.  It is great for any individual who needs any sort of lifting in the face but still very soft and natural looking.  It is especially good for under eye hollows and tear troughs.  The FDA approves it to last one year but the lift is superior to a Voluma lift.Voluma is a hyaluronic acid, like Restylane Lyft, and the FDA approves it for lasting 2 years.  It is a softer product than Lyft.  For some this is a selling point, and for others, it's not.  Because it's soft, it's hard to overdo.  But, for the same reason, it's softness requires twice the number of syringes to give the same result as Lyft so it can be twice the cost.  It's lifting ability is also half that of Lyft thus requiring more product to create a lift.  On average, a person needs 5 syringes of Voluma to equal the lift created from 3 syringes of Lyft.  If you're looking for a lift, then go with LYFT.

Restylane Lyft and Juvederm Volbella are both Hyaluronic Acids. Lyft is typically used for the mid-lower face, whereas Voluma is typically used for the cheeks. Voluma may last up to 24 months and Lyft may last up to 12 months. Some patients feel Voluma gives them the volume they are looking for and other patients like how Lyft seems to provide fullness to the face. It is all about your personal preference that will determine which will best help you to achieve your desired look.
