What is the difference between Restylane Defyne and Restylane Refyne?

We have about 15 different fillers. Our practice does a lot of fillers so we stock every single one of them. Most of them are HA's and those differ essentially by the viscosity. So some are like water, some like honey, some like hard rubber. We choose different ones for different layers and areas of the face.Find a Doc you trust and be clear with your goals.Best of luck,DrC
