Which works best for lines around the mouth – Restylane or Juvederm?

Lip lines and creases can be treated with either Restylane or Juvederm. My personal preference is for Juvederm as it is more concentrated and crosslinked. It tends to behave like a stress ball. When squeezed it flattens and when the pressure is released it returns to its original shape. This physical property is a big plus in the mouth area where there is a lot of movement.

I prefer to use Refyne for these lines. I have tried Belotero and Silk and don't get the duration or the smoothness that I've had with Refyne. I use a cannula underneath the lines (because of volume loss in the ergotrid), a fine needle into the lines, and enhance the lip border. Additional treatments such as Infini, laser resurfacing will give even better results. Also, adding Dysport or Botox will help the pursing that is often the underlying cause of the lines. It must be small doses so the mouth movement is not affected. Avoiding straws is a must as well because this leads to much pursing.
