Comparing the dermal fillers Juvederm and Restylane is the most natural thing to do if you are going to get an injection to treat your severe wrinkles and have your face look younger and rejuvenated.
First the similarities while we compare Juvederm Restylane. Both are hyaluronic acid based injectable gels which work on the same principle that it will help volume up the wrinkles as well as provide hydration.
In general there are no side effects that are said to occur after using these fillers. The normal side effects of redness and itchiness are there for both.
These injections do not require major post treatment care as well as the recovery time is minimal.
Differences
Juvederm has a concentrated form of Hyaluronic acid as compared to Restylane.
As far as professionals who inject the dermal fillers are concerned they believe that Juvederm has thicker consistency and hence it is better suited for lip augmentation whereas Restylane is better suited for the eyelids and cheeks.
Juvederm injections will get you instant results and you can see the difference almost immediately after you received the treatment whereas you will see the results of the Restylane treatment only after a two three days and it can even take up to a week.
In terms of the duration for which the each one lasts generally the Juvederm injection lasts about a year whereas the Restylane injection lasts about six months. Again these times are just guidelines and these can vary from individual to individual.
Always check with your dermatologist or the cosmetic surgeon as to which one is better suited for you and that is really matters. A lot of surgeons make no differentiation between the two and use them interchangeably.
In terms of cost both Juvederm and Restylane cost approximately the same and there is no major difference between Restylane Juvederm apart from the fact that the costs may vary based on the area where you are getting treated.
Now is Juvederm better than Restylane and I would say no that.
