Dermal fillers are a versatile option for restoring volume, enhancing features, or smoothing away lines and wrinkles. While you have many options, the Juvederm® and Restylane® families of fillers offer targeted solutions to many different facial concerns. Your expert injector will help you choose the best ones for your needs.
What are Juvederm® and Restylane® Dermal Fillers?
At Winter Park Plastic Surgery & Laser Center, we work to provide you with the widest variety of choices so you can achieve results in the way that works best for you. As a result, we offer several types of dermal fillers. Juvederm® and Restylane® are families, each containing several fillers designed for different purposes. They allow your injector to customize your treatment for your best results.
Juvederm® vs. Restylane®: Which Dermal Filler Should I Try?
If you are considering dermal fillers, these two families of fillers will almost certainly come up. They are among the most popular fillers used today, and they can treat almost any area of the face where added volume is needed.
What are They Made Of?
Juvederm® and Restylane® are both made of hyaluronic acid, a compound that attracts and holds moisture. Hyaluronic acid molecules come in many sizes and can form cross-links, allowing fillers made from this material to have very different properties.
What Do They Treat?
Both of these filler families contain members that can be used to treat similar concerns. Common uses for Juvederm® and Restylane® include:
- Lip plumping
- Defining the cheeks and jawline
- Replacing lost volume in hollow areas
- Smoothing nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and other lines and wrinkles
Which filler your injector uses will depend on many factors, including their extensive experience and understanding of which one has the best properties for this particular use.
How Long Do They Last?
The lifespan of Juvederm® and Restylane® fillers varies depending on the formula. Fillers used for the lips, which must be flexible and fluid, usually last up to a year. The densest fillers, used for areas like the cheeks, can last up to two years. Different formulas might last longer for different people.
Is There Any Downtime After Dermal Fillers?
One factor in the popularity of dermal fillers is their lack of downtime. While you may notice minor swelling, bruising, or redness in the injection area, these effects should not keep you from returning to your daily routine and will fade within a few days.
Am I a Good Candidate for Juvederm® or Restylane®?
Hyaluronic acid is found naturally in your skin, making it one of the safest dermal filler materials. Almost anyone can benefit from Juvederm® or Restylane®, but ideal candidates have reasonable expectations and are in generally good health. Candidates should not have an infection or active skin condition in the area at treatment time.
