Perlane, Restylane, Juvederm for smile lines

Restylane, Perlane and Juvederm are all hyaluronic acid fillers. Perlane and Juvederm ultra plus are a little thicker than Restylane and Juvederm ultra. The thicker products are better for areas where you need more volume, such as the cheeks, the perioral area. The thinner products are better for fine lines, tear troughs, lips. That said, most doctors/injectors consider these products somewhat interchangable. Good luck.

Fillers for fine lines

I prefer Juvederm for fine lines. The product is an excellent filler for mild to moderate fine lines, wrinkles, and depressions.( The Juvederm plus product is bulkier, better for deeper depressions.) I would treat your smile lines, corners of mouth, and any other area around your mouth with Juvederm. I prefer Juvederm to Restylane, I feel it less, it therefore is a bit more natural to me, and personally it seems to last longer than Restylane in the majority of my patients. It is my... more

Forehead lines are best treated with botox. No cream works well to improve forehead wrinkles that are related to muscle movement. see video

Botox is good for dynamic smile lines, filler and resurfacing can help static lines

Restylane and Juvederm are both great options for filling and improving static lines and dynamic to a degree. Ipl will, in my opinion, have little effect on the wrinkles. Glycolic peels can help to a minimal degree on fine lines and improving your general skin appearance. Resurfacing is another way to improve your wrinkles on your face by approaching from the outer skin side. Whereas fillers approach the wrinkles from inside. Botox is good for dynamic smile lines, filler... more

Choice of fillers is often doctors preference.

Hi NHK I am a huge Restylane and Perlane fan. However, others love Juvederm. One of advantages of Juvederm is its "smoothness" allows less than perfect treatments to soften afterward and is less likely to have lumps or bumps. On the other hand, Restylane seems to hold much better when a specific volume effect is needed. For the issues you are concerned with, you should do well with either product. For the forehead wrinkles, the glycolic peels... more
