How is Restylane More Effective for Upper Lip Lines?

When it comes to Restylane or Juvederm for the upper lip, the injector is much more important than the choice of filler. I have used both fillers, with equally great results in this area. For an even more effective treatment of upper lip lines, I often use both Botox (or Dysport) and a filler. This can go a long way in eliminating these unwanted lines.

Restylane is a softer product than Juvederm -- scientifically this is because there are less cross links in the Restylane molecule.  Therefore, many dermatologists and plastic surgeons prefer Restylane because it gives a softer, more natural look for those fine upper lip lines.

Juvederm is appropriate as well. However stay away from Radiesse as it is too firm for the area.

A few units of botox also soften those upper lip lines.
