Restylane and Juvederm are two of the most popular dermal fillers on the market today. Both products contain hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring compound in the body that helps to fill in wrinkles and fine lines. While both products are effective, there are some key differences between them that make Restylane a better choice for many people. The main difference between Juvéderm and Restylane is the texture.
Juvederm is a softer gel, while Restylane is more granular. This makes Juvederm ideal for smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles, but it is not as effective at filling in sunken or hollow areas. On the other hand, Restylane's granular texture makes it better suited for filling in these areas. Another key difference between the two products is their cost.
Restylane costs a little less than Juvéderm, as it is owned and manufactured by Galderma, while Juvéderm is owned and manufactured by Allergan. When it comes to treating fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth, such as laugh lines, Restylane and Juvederm offer several options. For example, Botox can help reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles around the eyes, while Restylane or Juvederm can be used to restore volume, enhance lips, or reduce the appearance of fine lines and creases around the mouth. In addition to being more cost-effective than Juvéderm, Restylane also takes a little longer to work but you'll start to see results almost immediately.
The Restylane and Juvederm families of hyaluronic acid fillers also have formulations that include lidocaine to alleviate any discomfort during treatment. Overall, both Restylane and Juvéderm are excellent lines of hyaluronic acid filler products that treat similar areas of the face. However, when it comes to cost-effectiveness and texture, Restylane is often the better choice for many people. A cosmetic injection specialist can offer you a cost comparison based on all the factors that determine how much Restylane and Juvéderm will cost you.
