Every brand of facial filler is a little distinct – each one is designed to deal with different issues and creating different outcomes. Depending on your certain desires, your doctor will suggest a certain type of injectable, but it’s always an excellent idea to do your very own study in advance to help you be knowledgeable about which brand you’re likely to favor. Today we’ll be contrasting the benefits of two different brands of facial fillers whose main concerns are addressing wrinkles and contouring cheeks: Juvederm and Restylane.
What Problems Do Facial Fillers Address?
Restylane (Medicis) and also Juvederm (Allergan) are sterilized gels made from hyaluronic acid (HA), which are made in a laboratory. They have the best safety profile of all the fillers presently on the market and also are FDA-approved for usage in the nasolabial fold.
Restylane and Juvederm can be made use of to deal with the complying with locations:
- Lines from the nose to the mouth (nasolabial layer).
- Lines from the mouth to the chin (melomental fold).
- Lines over the top lip.
- Frown lines (finest integrated with Botox Aesthetic).
- In the lips for volume and definition.
- To restore volume to cheek-areas or cheeks.
- In some circumstances, under the eyes.
Juvederm or Restylane? Dealing With Wrinkles
When it concerns attending to deep lines, wrinkles, and lighter creases, these are the top four Juvederm and Restylane products:
Juvederm Vollure XC
The very best product for moderate to major face lines and wrinkles, Vollure works to offer a subtle lift to the face attributes, especially in the lines around the nose and mouth. It has been shown to last approximately 18 months, one of the longer enduring items in the industry to deal with these detailed locations.
Juvederm XC
Focused on the lower fifty percent of the face, Juvederm XC quickly smoothes the crow’s feet around the mouth and lines around the nose. The XC injections last as much as one year, a couple of months shorter than their Vollure option.
Restylane Refyne is both adaptable and efficient, lasting up to an entire year.
Restylane Refyne
Mostly used to soften crow’s feet around the eyes, smile lines (nasolabial folds), and also the lengthy, vertical lines around the chin (marionette lines) while restoring the all-natural look of the face and its functions. Restylane Refyne is both adaptable and efficient, lasting approximately one year.
Restylane Defyne
Restylane Defyne is used in the therapy of deep laugh lines and includes added assistance to the skin. Like Refyne, Defyne is utilized to allow all natural expressions and motions as a result of its increased flexibility compared to other fillers. Like Refyne, injections last approximately year.
Juvederm or Restylane? Restoring Cheeks
When it comes to addressing extra heavy-set lines and creases and offering maximum volume and lift, these 2 products are a lot more aggressive.
Restylane Lyft (previously known as Perlane)
Restylane Lyft was especially developed to add volume and shape to the cheek and midface areas, in addition to correcting and smoothing smile lines or nasolabial folds. This product is a little bit extra hydrophilic, with outcomes that can last for approximately 12 months.

The lengthiest long-term product, Voluma XC has been known to last for up to 2 years.
How Long Do Juvederm and Restlane Last?
Depending on the area treated, your skin, and injection type, these fillers normally last 4 to 6 months. Juvederm Ultra and Perlane are thicker and so they will last much longer, typically approximately 6-9 months. Every one of these face fillers require maintenance between one and four times a year. Your cosmetic surgeon will provide you an estimation on how frequently you will require follow-up treatments during your initial examination.
How Much Do Juvederm and Restylane Cost?
Restylane and Juvederm are usually sold (as well as valued) per syringe of the shot. For instance, completing the nasolabial folds (the lines from the nose to the mouth) will likely take a number of syringes. Each syringe could vary from $450 to $600. Perlane and Juvederm Ultra Plus (the thicker variations) normally are estimated to cost approximately $500 to $750 per syringe.
Are Treatments Painful?
Most plastic surgeons make use of a topical anesthetic to make you comfortable throughout the injection process. The lotion is rubbed right into your skin 30-40 minutes before the treatment. The cream not only makes you significantly much more comfortable, it also reduces the chance of bruising.
What Will I Look Like (Right After The Treatment)?
Many patients have the ability to reapply their makeup and go right back to work following their shots. If you adhere to the ‘no pain killers’ rule, you’ll experience a very little bruising following the procedure. However, some puffiness as well as mild swelling for a day or two is completely normal. The preliminary injections, particularly, are most likely to bruise more than the follow-up therapies as your skin must adjust to the brand-new shots.
Bear in mind that swelling around the eyes as well as mouth can be difficult to cover with makeup, so it is best to prevent unneeded social interaction for 2 days after the therapy, especially after your very first shots. Stay at home for a couple of days, afterward you can show off your lovely, new face in just a few days’ time.
What Can I Do to Avoid Swelling & Bruising?
Steer clear of the following:
- Pain killers, Exedrin, Advil, as well as Aleve for one week before and two days after the shots. Tylenol is fine!
- Vitamin E (multivitamins are all right) and St. John’s Wort for 2-3 days before or after.
- Exercise (besides walking) for 1 day after the procedure.
How Long Will It Take To See My Final Results?
It can take a couple of days for the shots to “clear up into” their last form. They have a tendency to look much better after a day or two. Many clients are surprised at just how much better they look promptly after their therapy, even before the shots are able to sink fully in.
What Will I Look Like a Few Days Post-Treatment?
The injections normally work out within 2 to 10 days following the treatment. The wrinkles in your face will be gotten rid of and smoothed, making you appear more youthful with smoother, glowing skin. The elevated skin from the fillers will last the expected 4 to 9 months, after that begin to discolor. For this reason there is a need for follow-up treatments.
Who Is Not Eligible for Juvederm & Restylane Treatment?
For safety reasons, you should not (or will be unable to) take advantage of either Juvederm or Restylane if you are pregnant, breast feeding a child, or under the age of 21.
When Should I Plan To Have My Treatment Done?
If it’s the very first time you have actually ever had actually fillers done, you ought to have your face fillers done at the very least 3-4 weeks before the wedding, wedding anniversary, trip, or big occasion. This offers you 7-10 days to recover from any type of discoloration or swelling.
The ideal timeline would certainly be:.
(1) Obtain the full treatment 3-4 weeks before the occasion.
(2) Decide whether you require any retouching 2 weeks prior.
(3) That way, 1-2 weeks prior to the occasion, you will be guaranteed to look your absolute finest!
Bear in mind that everyone feels a little nervous before any significant occasion. Try not to allow that anxiety to focus on the tiny problems with your face. That barely visible pimple or tiny, fine line is not going to ruin the wedding, party, family photos, or vacation. You’re stunning just the way you are!
Have patience as the results settle in and allow the injections to naturally enhance your skin, giving you a wrinkle-free, glorious glow on your big day!
