Is Restylane Kysse or Juvederm Ultra better?

Both Juvederm and Restylane are Hyaluronic Acid fillers. The difference is in the manufacturing and cross-linking process of the HA. Either product is great for lips. Since Kysse is newer product to the market, injectors are trying it to see how it works. From what we are seeing and hearing in the industry from peers so far is that Kysse doesn't do as well combined with other fillers in the lips. So, it's best for "virgin" lips or for lips that have only been injected with Kysse previously.

Hello,
Good question. As you may have already realized, most injectors are loyal to a line of products that they are most familiar with. For the most part, gel fillers (ex: Kysse/Juvederm, Restylane etc) are in the same family and are closely related to how they perform. The difference with Restylane KYSSE is that it was FDA approved for the lips with up to a one year duration. The key words are, "up to one year." The most common concern among lip filler injection patients is the lack of duration. Kysse uses a newer gel technology that flexes and moves in a more natural way but maintaining a longer benefit. In our experience, our patients have achieved a longer duration but not up to the one year mark as hoped for. Regardless, they appreciate the type of gel and the more natural feel to it. Ultimately, the technique and skill of the injector will trump which gel filler is used.

Juvederm Ultra and Restylane Kysse are both HA fillers that can be good choices for lip augmentation. Juvederm is firmer, making it better for lips that need more filling. Kysse is specifically designed to produce a natural look and feel to the lips. In the hands of an experienced, qualified injector, either filler will produce very nice results. I would look more at the expertise of the injector than the actual product used if you want to ensure an optimal outcome.
