Volumna vs. Restylane Lyft. Which do you prefer?

Question

I feel like Allergen has the tried and true product Volumna. I had 2 syringes of Volumna done 2 yrs. ago and I still have product! I have heard some prefer Lyft but wanted to get another opinion. Thank you!

The good news is, you can’t go wrong no matter whether you choose Voluma or Restylane Lyft to restore volume to your face. They are both excellent products. I choose one or the other partly based on patient preference. I find that Voluma lasts a little longer, too, so that can be a consideration. I also may layer products, depending on what the patient wants. Be sure to consult a board-certified dermatologist who is an expert at using both these products so you can try out Lyft or stay with Voluma.

We offer both in our practice. Some of our patients are loyal Allergan patients, and participate in the Brilliant Distinctions rebate program. If they are already purchasing SkinMedica products and Botox as their neurotoxin, it makes sense for them to use Voluma for their cheeks and maximize their points/rebates, as well as taking advantage of the longer lasting treatment. Voluma does last longer than Restylane Lyft. That said, many patients are open to trying most products, and the Restylane Lyft does give a very nice result. Galderma also has a rebates program called Aspire, so make sure regardless of the product, you have an experienced injector familiar with both products, and make sure you are taking full advantage of the rebates and discounts!

I personnally like the smooth lift I can get with Voluma. It last longer than Restylane Lyft, so I don't have to touch up as often.  Voluma is said to last 1-2 yrs.;  and Restylane Lyft for 6 months to a year.   Another difference is less initial swelling.  For a patient deciding between the two, Restylane Lyft price point is less than Voluma.  Despite which product you end up choosing, the most important part is finding an experience injector that has an artistic ability to place the product in the right area to give you a natural smooth lift.

Thank you for sharing your question.  I would go on the recommendation of the injector who you feel has given you the best results.  Both products are comparable so the skill of your injector plays the larger role.  Hope this helps.

It all depends where hyou are treating and who the preson is injecting.  Some people are better with certain products than others. Both are hyaluronic acid fillers and voluma likely lasts a little longer than restylane.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Restylane® Lyft has been replaced by Restylane® Defyne®, and all of these fillers are great. More importantly, the best result is assured by the skill of a technically expert and experienced injector so please consult a board certified aesthetic dermatologist.

Harry Glassman, MD · Answer

I have used both products in our medspa and find them both to be effective. The advantage of Voluma over Lyft is that it lasts longer. The disadvantage is that the cost of Voluma is higher than Lyft for each syringe.

William Greenberg, MD · Answer

I have found that I get much longer lasting natural results with Voluma than Lyft.   All I can say is that patients come back year after year to get their Voluma boost and love it.  I tried Lyft a few times and was not that impressed.
