Radiesse Vs Restylane for Deep Frown Lines.
The expression lines between my eyes have become severe over the years. Recently, I got a dose of Dysport, but that did not do anything for me. I am considering getting a filler such as Radiesse or Restylane. Which one would work better. Since Radiesse is a bit more costly, I wanted to know if it would be worth it over the Restylane?

Filler for Frown LInes
Let me preface this by saying I have no experience with Radiesse in the frown lines. I do however have extensive experience using Restylane in this area, especially in combination with Botox. The combination of these two can often be spectacular, and I have seen the Restylane last years when the patient has stayed commited to the use of Botox over time. I would not recommend any filler in this region unless it is combined with a neurotoxin such as Botox or Dysport, as its...

Best treatment for deep forehead frown lines
Hi ELO,
I have found that a combination of neurotoxin (Botox or Dysport) and hyaluronic acid (Restylane or Juvederm Ultra) work very well for vertical glabellar lines (“the angry 11s” or “forehead frown lines”). The results seem to last longer and look better when the two are used in combination. I would recommend against using Radiesse in the mid-forehead area because of the risk of injecting material into the prominent vessels in this area. Since the...

Best Treatment for Glabellar Lines (Deep Frown Lines)
HI ELO,
The best treatment for glabellar lines (frown lines) is combining a filler (Restylane or Juvederm) with a neuromodulator (Botox, Dysport, or Xeomin). Stay away from Radiesse injections in this area!
Dysport does work, but perhaps your injector either misplaced the injections or did not use the proper dosage.
When the glabellar line is filled and the muscles weakened simultaneously, there is a synergistic effect where the line often does not come back even when the...

Restylane - Radiesse - Botox
Deep frown lines in the forehead occur because the corrugator muscle is very active. The best way to improve this problem is to put the muscle "at rest" by injecting Botox or Dysport. This will not only improve the lines but help to "retrain" you so that the muscle does not contract as much in the future. Sometimes a very small amount of filler is used "off-label" to further improve the cosmetic result. This is an area where great caution...

RADIESSE VS RESTYLANE FOR DEEP FROWN LINES
Botox or Dysport should be used first. You may not need any fillers if the frown lines are not too deep
Due to the presence of numerous blood vessels some of whom can communicate with the retinal vessels, extreme caution is advised. I would use tiny amounts of Prevelle or Juvederm in conjunction with Botox or Dysport, following which, in the future, you may need only the Botox or Dysport.
I would advise against Radiesse in that area.

Radiesse vs Restylane in Frown Linesl
I prefer using the hyaluronic acids (Restylane or Juvederm) in these frown lines. I don't feel Radiesse lasts significantly longer in this location.

Best Way to Treat Deep Frown Lines Between the Eyes
Neurotoxins such as Botox or Dysport are by far the best way to begin treatment for this area. If done properly, most superficial to moderate lines will nicely fade over time. If the lines are deep enough that they appear to be etched into the skin, a filler should be considered to complement the effect of the neurotoxin. I strongly believe, for many reasons, that Restylane or Juvederm are by far the best choices for this area. They give immediate, often dramatic, and long-lasting...

Juvederm and Restylane are safer choices between the eyebrows
As there are many blood vessels between the eyebrows, many expert fillers such as myself avoid the use of thicker fillers in this area, to avoid occluding (blocking) any of these important vessels. Juvederm and Restylane are great choices and can often laser over a year in this area if Botox is concurrently done. Radiesse, Juvederm Plus and Perlane, on the other hand, I avoid in this area.

No fillers like Radiesse or Restylane in the Glabellar area
IMHO, no fillers whether it's Restylane, Radiesse or another filler should be placed in the Glabellar area (between the eyebrows). There are thin walled veins in this area that can be pinched off by the filler and if this happens a quarter sized section of skin will die in the mid forehead resulting in scarring. Only neurotoxins, IMO, should be used in this area.

Dysport/Botox and Restylane/Radiesse are great for glabella frown lines.
Restylane or Radiesse both work great for frown lines between the eyebrows if you already have dysport/botox working. Radiesse will last longer (1 yr) vs (6-9 months for restylane) and is worth the extra money. Both look natural though and you won't make a wrong choice with either one. Sincerely,

Deep frown lines
Botox or Dysport are the champions of forehead lines. Although the fall back position is to use fillers. However fillers generally don't do well. If you want to try I recommend restylane because Radiesse is too heavy a filler for the forehead and might bump. Stick with your Dysport. Over time it should work if you are being given th e right dose in the right place.
