From what i can tell juvederm is maybe better than restylane because it lasts longer. Is this true? Are there other things i should take in to account before choosing juvederm or restylane?

Answer: Restylane/Juvederm Thank you for your question. Both Juvederm and Restylane are FDA approved hyaluronic acid fillers and tend to last anywhere from 6 months to 1 year. I would advise you to schedule a consultation with an expert injector.

Answer: Juvederm vs Restylane Juvederm and Restylane are hyaluronic acids and will ultimately give similar results. Many patients prefer Juvederm because they feel it gives them a more natural look due to its smoother consistency. Restylane is of a thicker consistency and is best used in area that are more structured, such as the jowl.

Answer: Juvederm versus Restylane What are the differences between Juvederm and Restylane? This is a very common question for patients, students, nurses and basically anybody interested in facial rejuvenation. If you attend a medical conference , visit multiple doctor offices or even as you read the current thread of the answers you will likely become only more confused. The reason is that both of these products are very similar in nature, they are hyaluronic acid based fillers and hyaluronic acid is a common substance of human cell. So while it was a brilliant idea to come up with a filler that mimics human cell so closely, different companies have taken advantage and have come up with different products that slightly defer from each other based on how tightly the molecules are bound together. In parallel, such differences in tightness and cohesiveness affects how they absorb and retain water. Such differences in firmness and fluidity can be advantageous or disadvantages based on what anatomical parts are to be augmented and what is the desired texture of the tissue after the injection . So it is not surprising that Juvederm at the moment has multiple sub categories of products as does Resylane. These sub-categories are again differentiated based on the above properties, and as such some sub categories of Juvederm have closer properties to the corresponding ones in the Restylane family rather than to the other types of Juvederm products.Based on the above knowledge, it is very difficult to conduct good scientific studies that may reveal substantial evidence to prove superiority of one product over the other, and thus there has not been much universally agreed preferences amongst the experts. The preferences are more subjective and based on personal experiences and familiarities with one product versus the other. That is why when it comes to even a particular anatomic location such as the lips, there are still no consensus and so many experienced injectors will have their own preferences as far as what type of a filler and what type of a needle to get the optimal result for a given patient. Now on top of that, you need to factor in the individuality of the patient and the particular goal he/she has from the filler treatment. The choice of the filler even amongst the Juvederm products would be different if the patient wants to get just a subtle improvement of the texture of the lips versus a substantial increase in the pulp.
