Radiesse is the best alternative for non-lip facial areas

The Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers-- Restylane, Perlane , Juvederm Ultra and Juvederm Ultra Plus were my my workhorse fillers until I discovered Radiesse. Radiesse provides excellent cosmetic improvement to the smile lines, the marionette lines at the corner of the mouth, to the hollows around the eye (the "tear trough " deformity) and to improve the volume in the cheeks, the pre jowl areas of the jawline as well as filling traumatic and congentital facial deformities. It can also... more

Restylane Alternatives

There are a number of excellent dermal fillers. The choice of dermal filler as an alternative to restylane depends on the area to be treated, the degree of correction needed, and the risks and benefits of a given dermal filler for the objective. Juvederm is the closest competitor to restylane as both are hyaluronic acids.

Many good Restylane alternatives exist.

Restylane is an excellent and reliable filler, as are Perlane, Juvederm Ultra, and Juvederm Ultra Plus. All of these are HIGHLY DEPENDENT on the skill and cosmetic finesse of the physician providing the treatment. I wonder why you are seeking an alternative for Restylane. If you feel you had a bad result with Restylane, you may have been improperly treated. If this is the case, the same person who gave you the bad Restylane result may possibly give you an equally bad result with an... more

Restylane Alternatives

There are several ways to address fine lines and wrinkles. A comprehensive approach would be a filler, whether it be with Hylauronic acid (ie: Restylane or Juvederm), Radiesse or Fat transfer and laser resurfacing with CO2 or Erbium or Fractional CO2 (ie: Fraxel, Profractional). At times, I can address people's concerns simply with BOTOX, depending on the root of the problem. A broad question such as this, unfortunately leads to a broad answer. If you... more

Alternatives to Restylane

There are many fillers similar to Restylane which contain the chemical hyaluronic acid- Perlane and Juvederm to name a few. These fillers are indicated to restore volume in the lips, under the eyes, and the nasolabial folds. They can last anywhere from 4 months to a year. Another good choice for a filler is Radiesse. This is a different chemical than the above fillers and is best used for the nasolabial folds and to restore volume in the cheek. It is not... more

Alternative fillers to Restylane

Some good alternative fillers to Restylane are Perlane, Juvederm Ultra or Juvederm Ultra Plus, and Radiesse and if depends on what goals you are trying to acheive with filler. I would only inject the lips and tear toughs with Juvederm Ultra or Reatylane.

Ideal filler choice

Restylane is just one of many fillers available. An experienced doctor will always have more than one choice for a filler. Different areas of the face require different characteristics for a filler. Restylane is one of many hyaluronic acid products. In our practice we advise our patients on an optimal filler, depending on the desired result. Make sure your doctor can explain to you his choice in filler.

Which is the best dermal fillers?

Restylane is an excellent hyaluronic acid product. In Canada, they have recently introduced the restylane and perlane (thicker version of restylane, longer-lasting) mixed with a small amount of local anesthetic. This makes the procedures less traumatic to our patients and minimize any larger bruising seen with the traditional dental blocks. Juvederm is an excellent alternative, which also comes mixed with local anesthetic, and is available in Toronto Canada. more

Juvederm Ultra/Ultra Plus are essentially equal alternatives for Restylane/Perlane

I like both of these product groups. Both are hyaluronic acid base fillers with essentially the same duration and effect. I feel they are basically interchangeable. I do prefer Juvederm for lips because I do feel it is a little softer and Perlane for the melolabial folds (the lines around your mouth) because it is a little stiffer. I hope this answer was helpful.

Restylane Alternatives

Restylane is an excellent dermal filler. There are other hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers on the market as well. These include Juvederm, Juvederm ultra and Perlane. All of these work very well. It is important to discuss all the alternatives with your doctor. The choice of filler will depend on the doctors preference and the area to be treated.
