Botox might be the most popular cosmetic treatment on the market, though dermal fillers come in a close second. The most popular dermal fillers, like Juvederm and Restylane, are made from Hyaluronic acid (HA), which is also a naturally occurring substance in the body. As we age, our HA levels decrease, and dermal fillers are a nice solution to add volume and plumpness back to the face area due to that decrease. Though there are differences in the Juvederm and Restylane line, primarily in how each product is structured, essentially, they work similarly under the skin.
Are dermal fillers permanent?
Though not permanent, dermal fillers can last up to two years, depending on the product selected, amount used, and area treated. It is possible to reverse the effects of dermal filler by injecting hyaluronidase acid into the filler, which dissolves the filler under the skin.
What are the Restylane® Family of Fillers?
Per the DermaTouch RN website, “The Restylane line of Hyaluronic acid fillers provides natural-looking results by smoothing away facial wrinkles and folds (Restylane, Restylane Lyft, Restylane Refyne, Restylane Defyne), providing subtle lip enhancement (Restylane, Restylane Silk1) and smoothing the lines around the mouth (Restylane Silk1), and adding lift and volume to the cheeks (Restylane Lyft).”
What is the Juvederm® Collection of Fillers?
Per the DermaTouch RN website, “The line of Juvederm products represents some of the top-selling dermal fillers in the USA made by Allergan. The Juvederm collection of fillers adds volume to a different area of the face to lift cheeks, smooth parentheses lines, or plump the lips. The results are subtle and long-lasting.” The Juvederm line of fillers includes Juvederm Ultra XC, Juvederm Ultra Plus XC, Volbella, Vollure, and Voluma. Each filler options has a different molecular structure and technology designed to treat specific areas of the face.
What’s the difference between Juvederm and Restylane?
Juvederm and Restylane are both Hyaluronic acid fillers. Restylane was the first HA filler on the market. Compared to the Juvederm line, many Restylane fillers don’t last quite as long as the Juvederm line of fillers. However, each filler in each line varies based on the technology used to create it, which in turn impacts its molecular structure and the amount of water it draws to it. Thus, different fillers are suitable for different areas of the face (lips, nasolabial folds, cheeks, etc) and last for different durations. Results vary between patients based on body chemistry, type of product used, amount of product used, and area treated.
