Amount in a syringe. Are Restylane and Juvederm filler in a syringe equal nowadays?

Both Restylane and Juvederm are hyaluronic acids or HAs. HA is a natural substance (complex sugar) found in all living organisms. It hydrates the skin by holding in water, and acts as a cushion and lubricant to reduce damage to the skin. It is found in connective tissue throughout the body, including the dermis of the skin. HA dermal fillers include Juvederm, Restylane, Perlane, Voluma, and Belotero. Juvederm and Restylane both contain the same amount of HA in the syringe. The cost is usually about the same for each 1 ml syringe. 

They are basically the same amount and should be considered similar.  What matters most is who is injecting them and into what areas as the properties are very different.  Cannula injections limit complicaitons.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your excellent question. The effects of hyaluronic acid collagen fillers, such as Juvederm and Restylane generally last for 3-4 months. Hyaluronic acid is a type of sugar (polysaccharide) that is present in body tissues, such as in skin and cartilage. Both Restylane and Juvederm comes in 1-cc syringes.

Restylane Juvederm and Perlane do come in 1 cc syringes.  Restylane and Juvederm do come in 1/2 cc syringes also. I do keep these in stock in mt office. Sometimes someone just needs a little area treated. The 1/2 cc syringes do cost a little more than anticipated because we do not get much of a price break for the lesser volume .Restylane and Perlane do come in 2 cc syringes also.

Each is available in a one cc syringe.  Both are hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers.Hope this is helpful.  Best wishes.

It used to be that Juvederm was a 0.8cc syringe. About 2 or 3 years ago, it was changed to a 1 cc syringe.  I think there are 1/2 syringes available for both but are not worth it because they are much more expensive comparing cc to cc.

Perlane, Restylane, and Juvederm (ultra and ultra plus) comes in 1-cc syringes. Restylane also comes in a 0.5-cc syringe and a 2-cc syringe (which is being phased out--they are selling current stock only).
