Juvederm vs. Restylane

Intro

Juvederm and Restylane are two of the top hyaluronic acid fillers on the market. So, how can you decide which one is the right product for you?

The decision should be based on the patient preference as well as the expert advice of an experienced provider such as those at Haus of Wellness. The key difference between the two products are texture and the areas on which they are best used.

Let’s take a look at some of the similarities and differences between Juvederm and Restylane.

Similarities

Juvederm and Restylane share a number of similar characteristics. Both are non-surgical, minimally-invasive treatments. They are prized for the immediate and natural-looking results that often last between six and 12 months.

They are pain-free procedures that are administered by skilled injectors who know precisely where to place the dermal filler to accomplish the best results. After the procedure is done, there is minimal to no downtime associated with them, with only minor side effects such as bruising and/or swelling.

Both Juvederm and Restylane are also FDA approved for usage and are completely safe to use.

Differences

While there are many similarities between the two products, there are some key differences, too. 

Juvederm

Juvederm is generally considered to have a stronger hold, which makes it ideal for cheek/lip structure and deep folds. It was specifically designed to address wrinkles, and the different types of Juvederm are made for different parts of the face.

Restylane

Restylane is considered to be softer and more flexible, which makes it perfect for addressing fine lines and lips. Different types of this dermal filler are also used around eyes to smooth out lines and add volume.

Oftentimes, Juvederm is selected for bold enhancement, while Restylane is best for subtle refinement.
