What is the physical size of Juvederm, Restylane, and Radiesse syringes? Also, how much actual HA can each syringe contain as opposed to anesthetic or other substances? Thank you!
Answer: Restylane actually has 1.15cc per syringe as it is overfilled-Juvederm is only 0.8cc With Restylane and Perlane, you get a little bonus with an overfilled syringe. The company states it has only 1cc, but you actually get 1.15cc total. On the other hand, with Juvederm, you get what they say you get, 0.8cc. That means that you get about 27% more of Restylane and Perlane for your money than Juvederm. Additionally, the syringes for Restylane and Perlane allow more anesthetic to be added, making the injections MUCH less painful than Juve. As for the concept that 0.8cc of Juvederm is the same or more than 1.15cc of Restylane or Perlane, uh, no, I don't think so. That is something that Allergan, the company that produces Juvederm would like people to think, but contrary to what they say, it doesn't magically expand when inside of you. That would be contrary to the laws of physics and pretty scary to boot! That's why I use Restylane and Perlane more often. Now, as for Prevelle, I wouldn't even consider using it because it only lasts 2 months (if even that). Radiesse does last up to a year in some people, but it can cause unsightly lumps (I just had a patient today who had lumps when another doc injected her that came out about 6 months after it was injected!). Lastly, Evolence is pretty painful so I don't usually use it either.

Answer: Dermal fillers Hi @gg96. This is an excellent question. 1 syringe is equivalent to 1 ml. 1 syringe is approximately the size of a blueberry. Best of luck, Dr. Nima

Answer: Amount of filer in a syringe Hi there! Most often dermal filler manufacturers product 1ml syringes however there are some smaller unit sizes too such as 0.55ml (for example volift retouch). This is current as per the UK market. Best wishes, Dr Rupert

Answer: Fillers depend from product to product. A large number of injectable dermal fillers are currently available for treating facial contour irregularities. These products are associated with excellent clinical results and high satisfaction rates. The packaging of these injectable fillers varies from product to product.Radiesse comes in a 1.3cc syringe, while Juvederm comes in a .8cc syringe. Restylene comes in a 1.0cc syringe, but these syringes are often overfilled.When these products are utilized the characteristics of the injectable filler are extremely important. In some cases, the size of the syringe may be important as well.
